Bo Jackson Is Coming to Madden NFL 15

[Steve_OS]

For the first time ever, Bo Jackson will be appearing within the Madden NFL series. If you own Madden, you will get the chance to own Bo in Madden Ultimate Team as well as Madden NFL Mobile (which is basically a mobile Ultimate Team game).

There will also be special Bo-themed Live Events available which will allow you to use Bo Jackson to earn rewards for your team.

While it's doubtful Jackson will be as dominant as his Tecmo Super Bowl self, it will be fun to play as one of the greatest athletes of all time in Madden.

What do you think of Jackson's inclusion into Madden's Ultimate Team mode?

Full press release below.

Seems the solo challenge would be best to pit Jackson against Brian Bosworth and see if the user can make Bo Jackson run him over again for a TD...

Jackson's "injury" rating will probably not reflect his short career ended by injury...

"What you've all be waiting for..."

This is why we need signature animations. He'll look like Bo (maybe) but he won't rUN like Bo. He'll run like every other player in the game.

That's why I never really got into mut. I see no point on building teams with current and legend players when they all play the same.

I guess they figured, since they can't get the passing game right, they'd just add more running backs . . .

Yeah this definititely isn't what we have all heen waiting for. Working penalties and functional sliders getting implemented is what most of us truly have been waiting for
