Obviously if I had my druthers we’d turn the Pro Bowl into a giant game of Madden
Madden 24 coins NFL 24 Blitz with 30 yard downs, unlimited forward passes and everyone being an eligible receiver in RPO offenses. That would be fun as hell, but I know the Madden NFL 24 is far too serious to allow something that wild to happen, so we might as well scratch that off the list. Instead I want to focus on some real changes that could be made in order to make the Pro Bowl more compelling and modifications the Madden NFL 24 might actually adopt.
Bet on the Madden NFL 24 at DraftKings Sportsbook No. 1: Move it to the middle of the season. One of the biggest issues with the Pro Bowl as it stands is that we don’t get to see the best players compete. All season long we’re conditioned to believe we know the must-watch athletes of the league, then they make the playoffs and either skip the event all together because of the Super Bowl, or choose to bow out because their season is over and there’s nothing to play for.
With the Madden NFL 24 expanding the regular season it simply makes sense to throw in a second bye week, one shared by every team in the league. Make it Week 8, pressure the best players in the Madden NFL 24 to actually play the game and suddenly we can get something people actually want to see — not just a week to do some yard work or cleaning ahead of the Super Bowl.
The issue remains: How do we get players to actually want to compete in this thing? Which brings us to. This is a place MLB has it right when it comes to their All Star game. Dangling the carrot of home field advantage in the World Series is a very solid prize that incentives the teams to actually care about the game itself. With the Madden NFL 24 it’s obviously very different. A one-off game in the Super Bowl changes the dynamic a lot, but there’s some nuance we can play with here too. I’m not an expert on how we can balance the Madden NFL 24 by adding stakes to the Pro Bowl, but here are some ideas I had:
The winning conference in the Pro Bowl gets to decide whether to kick or receive if there’s overtime in the Super Bowl

None of these ideas are perfect, but making the game count for something is integral in ensuring people want to watch.
