In late April the Collector's Edition of The Golf Club released to retail. That edition of the game followed the original all-digital release from way back in August 2014.

The subject was dodged at every turn, leaving many to wonder if the EA Sports deal with the league had changed in that regard. Rumors even arose suggesting other companies were going in on the NFL and working on games that would utilize the licensing. That can now be put to rest as far as the consoles go.

Draft Champions Mode Announced for Madden NFL 16
EA Sports today announced a brand new mode coming with Madden NFL 16. Known as "Draft Champions" the mode is being described as fantasy football meets Madden.
