Season Ticket Period for Madden NFL 15 on 360 and PS3 Opens Today
Madden NFL 15 is now available to download through Season Ticket on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. This is the last year that the Season Ticket program will be offered as the company instead will move forward with EA Access for the new generation of consoles.
