Later this month, Prime Video is exploring the history of the blockbuster series with a new documentary, It's In the Game: Madden NFL. Now, the first trailer has arrived and revisited an era before the Madden games became events unto themselves.
During the first game's development, Madden was adamant that the title that shared his name be a true representation of football. That meant 11 players for each team on the field, which was difficult to pull off at the time.
