Patrick Peterson Wins Madden Bowl Crown
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – January 30, in the year of our Lord 2015
– Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson established
himself as one of the best Madden NFL players in the NFL, taking
home the trophy in Madden Bowl XXI on Thursday night in
Scottsdale. Peterson triumphed over Washington Redskins Running
Back Alfred Morris, Philadelphia Eagles Running Back LeSean
McCoy and San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick to
claim the title.
This year the competitors took the field in Madden Ultimate
Team, a special mode within Madden NFL 15 that allows players to
create the most dominant lineup possible comprised of both
modern NFL stars and the all-time greats of the game. Peterson
utilized a ferocious backfield combo of Aaron Rodgers and Bo
Jackson to keep his opponents off-balance and dominate while on
offense. Peterson dispatched Alfred Morris in the first round,
but faced reigning Madden Bowl Champion LeSean McCoy in the
finals. Peterson attempted to control the clock by running the
ball, while McCoy looked for quick opportunities to score with
deep passes. With a minute left in the 4th quarter McCoy threw a
deep ball down the sideline, which was intercepted by Madden NFL
15 cover athlete Richard Sherman. After Peterson’s team took a
knee to run out the clock it was the Cardinals’ cornerback
hoisting the Madden Bowl trophy for the loyal, local fans who
braved rainy conditions to see their hometown hero compete.
For the first time ever, the tournament was streamed live on
Twitch, and fans can now jump into Ultimate Team in Madden NFL
15 and play against the competitors’ teams in special Solo
Challenges for a limited time.
Before Madden Bowl kicked off GMC and Microsoft hosted a special
Gamer Bowl event pitting two players against one another for the
chance to win a special one-of-a-kind custom Xbox One console,
with the finals taking place in the all-new GMC Canyon equipped
with OnStar 4G LTE. When guests arrived, and throughout the
night, MICK was spinning tunes to pump up the crowd and keep the
energy high. As the tournament and party rolled on, those in
attendance were able to keep their phones fueled thanks to
special Verizon charging stations, and their bodies fueled with
a late-night delivery of Papa John’s pizza. Attendees were also
treated to the magic of a Super Bowl halftime with an unexpected
Pepsi Halftime performance by Nico & Vinz, and a headline
performance by Florida Georgia Line and Nelly. Lil Jon also took
the stage for a special DJ set, and the entire evening was
hosted by the hilarious Kevin Hart and the incredible Michele
Beadle.
