EA Sports’ “Madden” NFL video game has been one of the most popular sports video games for decades, drawing millions of players since its first release more than 30 years ago. Apparently, among those users is Dolphins star Tyreek Hill.
The seven-time Pro Bowler revealed Thursday that he plays the night before games in attempt “to get a tell” on the quality of opponent he’s expecting to face.
“I feel like Madden has a good tell [read] on how good players are, so I just play Madden the night before [NFL games] and I go look at all of their ratings,” said Hill. “For instance it has Steve Nelson and Derek Stingley Jr., two phenomenal players by the way, I just get on Madden and go to the EA rosters then I scroll down and see what their awareness is, their speed, and their strength, and that’s how I get a good tell on them."
