We are big fans of the Madden franchise. However, this newest game has a feature called Madden Showdown in which the player is given a set budget of points with which to bet against other players or the computer on simulated games or games you play. You can bet on the winner, total points, total yards, and other categories. We were terribly disappointed to see this game used as a platform to introduce the basics of sports betting. Be on the lookout. We explained the dangers and the risks of gambling to our tween who loves the game and have instructed him that this feature is prohibited. The game is good enough without it. It should not have been included.
