EA today detailed three new ways in which EA Sports fans can play competitively across Madden titles.

Three new event types will cater to casual fans and professional players:

  • Challenger events — Players can easily host their own tournaments.
  • Premier events — EA will host these with major partners.
  • EA Major events — Marquee live events run by EA on a global stage.

The first EA Major event will be Madden NFL 16 Championship, held in Los Angeles at E3. The Madden NFL 17 Championship series was also announced, offering up $1 milllion USD in prize money.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
