As we saw last night, the esteemed and majorly important Pro Bowl teams were announced. Thankfully, the game that literally everyone on the planet despises, will be played on Madden. If the league were smart, and there’s a lot of evidence that shows that they aren’t, they’ll make the Pro Bowl played on Madden every year.
Though the Pro Bowl game itself means nothing, getting selected to the Pro Bowl team matters when players go and negotiate contracts. It also is a metric when considering players for all-decade teams and the hall of fame. So yeah, we love to dump all over how awful the actual game is due to NFL players not looking to hit each other unless they’re Sean Taylor, but the game means a lot to their wallets and reputations.
