Following the first news and trailers on "Run Free" for Madden NFL 25 generating a wave of negativity and then a curious last-second delay of Connected Franchise news it made sense for EA Sports to fill the gap with something that would attempt to ease the concerns of those not encouraged by what has been put on display thus far.

Enjoy a well earned early trip home. #beastmode #madden25— Michael Young (@MYsportsPhotog) May 8, 2013 The hinting at involvement ...
