NBC Sports and Peacock will present an alternate broadcast featuring elements of the EA Sports Madden 25 video game during a Dec. 21 matchup between the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs.

I'm sure we've all seen the various Manning-Cast type alternate broadcasts, or in the past when Nickelodeon would have their "slime" effects, or SpongeBob stuff, seems this will be Comcast's very first attempt at pulling off something similar.

Curious how they plan to integrate the great game of football with the once-great and storied Madden franchise, but on paper I at least love the sound of this. Tons of potential here, not sure why it took them so long, but guess we shall find out in a few short weeks.

ELI5? I'm kind of a Boomer, just got back into Madden late in M22 cycle, didn't create my first MUT squad until M23 right around this time. It'd been many, many years since I've played Madden, but have been into football video games since well before Tecmo Bowl existed, pre 8-bit NES days.

Needless to say, I've missed a lot in recent decades.

I wish that had been an international choice, or reference to a deep cut. Sadly, that is not the case.

Ochocinco will serve as a real-time player "ratings adjuster."

EA’s putting Ochocinco in charge of player ratings now? 99 speed Nico Collins and Patty Mahomes incoming. Seriously though he might be able to give the people doing player ratings a few pointers. In a year that feels as minimal as this I’m trying to wrap my mind around them pursuing something this expensive. Maybe it’s the continuation of their “experimentation. I am at least curious to see this if not excited. There’s gotta be a free peacock offer for a week or something I can find to use for this.

Keep me posted, I'm without a doubt curious about this. I have no problems sourcing random pirate streams for any out of market games, but not so sure I'll be able to dig up an alternate Madden broadcast.

I hate to be that guy, but are they going to let Azeez play during this game? Chad better crank him up to 99 Hit Power. Appreciate the detailed info, I had only read the official press release after I initially noticed it on Variety.

If all else fails, I think I've probably got $6 worth of Google Play credits to buy a month of Peacock. Family members used to get it included with their X-finity terrestrial cable service, but those days are long gone.

Please don't let me forget, I'm fairly certain we can share the account.
