Sydney, Australia. – April 29, 2014 – Today Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) announced Madden NFL 15 will be available on August 28 in Australia and on August 29 in New Zealand for Xbox One, the all-in-one entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system and the PlayStation®3 entertainment system.

Madden NFL 15 delivers everything fans need to own their rivals on both sides of the field, including the most immersive defensive gameplay control in franchise history.

It’s not just football, it’s Madden Season.

This year EA is once again collaborating with ESPN to give fans the opportunity to select which player will grace the cover of Madden NFL 15.

Fans can tune in to the NFL Draft on ESPN and NFL Network on May 9 at 10am AEST for a special Cover Vote announcement.
