The source podcast ("Madden's Game, by 30 for 30) is itself very interesting for covering the development of the Madden games. Gets into great technical detail, such as how Madden refused to put his name on the game until developers could figure out how to make the game (in the 80s) have 11 vs. 11 players, as opposed to 7 vs. 7. Development stretched past 4 years and Madden's first game was predicted to be a financial failure. https://30for30podcasts.com/episodes/maddens-game/ https://30for30podcasts.com/episodes/maddens-game/
