Madden Fans Blast New Washington Team Name

02.02.2022 Comment Views: 40

The NFL has officially announced that the Washington Football Team will be known as the Washington Commanders next season. The team was previously known as the Washington Redskins, but the NFL finally decided to abandon the controversial name back in 2020. For nearly two years, fans have been wondering what the team would be called, and now that the new name is here… well, a lot of people are unimpressed! In fact, a lot of Madden fans have been dunking on the name, and many have been comparing it to the type of default title given to relocation teams! Meanwhile, others have compared it to names in NFL Blitz, after Midway lost the NFL license.

At this time, EA has not announced when the name will officially be added to Madden. It’s possible the change could happen in an update for Madden NFL 22, or it might not happen until next season’s game. For now, fans will have to wait for an official announcement, but it doesn’t seem like anyone is in a rush at the moment!

Keep reading to see what Madden fans are saying about the Washington Commanders name!

They definitely had time to do better!

It’s amazing to me that Washington had 2 years to nail this name change thing, and then they went with #Commanders. It’s like a team you could choose if you were relocating your franchise to Columbus in Madden. And somehow the jerseys are worse than your options in Madden.

Man, talk about a universal joke.

Washington Commanders klingt übrigens wie so ein Relocation Team in Madden

NFL Blitz deserved better.

Washington Commanders sounds like a Blitz the League team name after Madden secured exclusive rights to the NFL.

More like Commanders of the Yard.

@Commanders the Washington commanders really l. I get cuz it the Capital of USA but it sounds like an xfl or cfl type of name or a Madden the yard team name

Maybe the NFL asked EA to name the team…

The Washington Commanders just sounds like a random generated name to a Madden expansion team

Washington Commanders sound like a team you create on madden

That one’s better than the Dolphins, at least.

I remember playing the Washington Commanders create-a-team on Madden 2001 when I was the Miami Sharks

Maybe “Washington Football Team” wasn’t so bad!

“The Washington Football Team” was in my opinion the best major American professional sports team name. Took a while to get used to but it felt right. Then Dan Snyder played franchise mode on Madden and decided to rename his team “The Commanders”. Lmao what an awful name
