Initially they did though.

But Madden, as we noted last year, takes place in a world where none of that matters, because none of that exists. It's a game that makes you stop for a moment so it can download the very latest roster updates for immersion and realism, but also, for some reason, bleeped out Colin Kaepernick's name on the soundtrack as if it were a curse word. EA Games quickly apologized and uncensored the track, calling it an "unfortunate mistake." Mistake or not, it's a pretty good metaphor for Madden. Here, realism only goes so far.
