Video Games into Pop Culture. San Francisco Chronicles. (2004).
From the articles and journals I have so far read as explained how the leisure of the Madden video game franchise has evolved over the years. The idea to create the game was brought to light by Trip Hawkins, the president of EA sports. He wanted someone to represent the lifestyle of football. Who was of a better choice than former Oakland Raiders coach John Madden. The video game was first used as outlet for fun among players.

When NFL players were first introduced on the cover of the game that year they suffered an injury or had a terrible season. As it last throughout the series of the game, then the mishaps became the Madden Curse.

Over the years Madden has become more than a game, but a lifestyle.
Video gamers were once shunned on for being lazy, but not it’s a winning industry. Madden has allowed consumers to be televised on ESPN and go across the world to play see who is the real “champion” in the game.

Unfortunate situations have occurred due to the Madden video game such as murders and gambling.

-My case is the NFL John Madden video game series is bigger than what it was supposed to be. The video game immerged from a leisure among consumers to a lifestyle.

I really liked your thought process on the proposal. One thing that you may want to investigate is the evolution of NFL games in general, and how Madden became the primary game.
I think that is a great idea to do a proposal on.Coming froma fellow Madden player,I completely understand how the release date is a National holiday.The advancement of video games is amazing,and makes you wonder what could be next and could it possibly get any better.
