Just as GMC is the official vehicle of the NFL, the truck and SUV brand will be featured in the latest installment to America’s favorite sports video game franchise: Madden NFL 25. Detroit Lions fans will especially enjoy the game’s cover, featuring the great Barry Sanders. Just a year ago, Madden NFL 2013 featured the Lions’ other-worldly wide receiver Calvin Johnson.
The official GMC vehicles that will be featured in the game will include the all-new 2014 GMC Sierra full-size pickup as well as current Yukon, Acadia and Terrain models. It’s not clear yet if future vehicles will be added to the game via a downloadable update or not.
The vehicles will appear at various points during the game, including after a Super Bowl victory, where game’s MVP will also be awarded a vehicle. The GMC Official Vehicle of the NFL logo, vehicle imagery and other branding will be displayed on scoreboards and in the advertising around select stadiums.
GMC’s in-game integration will also, naturally, include elements of the brand’s involvement as the Official Vehicle of the NFL. During the NFL season, GMC selects a “Never Say Never Moment of the Week,” the moment that best demonstrates a combination of impressive athletic performance, intelligence and preparation. Each moment will be made available to replay in-game at regular intervals throughout the season. Replays require an Internet connection and an Origin Account required to play. Account creators must be at least 13 years old.
Additionally, fans will have the opportunity to complete a hand-picked GMC Collection of Professional Grade players, which can be found through the purchase of Madden Ultimate Team packs.

I hope it is not on the cover as GMC will feel the wrath of the Madden Curse.
Just ask Peyton Hillis.
What’s the Madden curse?
“an Origin Account”
Aqww hell no! I’m steering clear of this title.
Many players on the cover have a bad year or injury the next year. While it is just chance not much good has happened to players on the cover of the game in the following year.
Hillis went from 1000 yard Star at Cleveland setting records to a head case the next year and then the same at KC and I think now 3 years later he is not even on a team.
Now I think he was a nut case but still he had it all together and then went into some crazy actions faking illness as claimed by some to sit out games. Either way he is done.
Others have had serious injuries and other slumps but few have gone to a Super Bowl or All Pro season the next season after being on the cover.
Kind of like the SI cover curse.
Ok, thanks for the info, maybe someone should tell GM to let ford or dodge be the NFL’s official vehicle, lol.
