Ever since LeBron James became a household name as a teenager over twenty years ago, people wondered how good the former high school football star would be in the NFL. While we never got see it, LeBron has always made it known how much he loves football.
That includes the historic video game franchise, Madden. Recently, the series released its newest edition, Madden 25, and the Lakers star took to Twitter to complain about some missing features!
It’s wild to think that LeBron James is playing random people in Madden’s head-to-head online feature. But, that appears to be the case. As someone who has played plenty of online Madden, I’m wondering if I’ve ever been matched up against LeBron.
Sadly, we wouldn’t know if it happened on this year’s game, as LeBron James noted that you can’t see details about your opponent like you could in previous editions.
@EAMaddenNFL Talk to me! Help me understand the changes Online H2H. Takes some of the fun away. -Seeing who you beat or lose to after game (record wise)
– knowing your record
-seeing what team Your opponent is playing with before the game starts. Asking for the people. 👂🏾— LeBron James (@KingJames) August 25, 2024
There’s no reason for Madden to have removed this feature, as it was awesome after a win to see how good your opponent’s record and rank were.
LeBron did clarify that he still loves the game.
Other than that I love the game @EAMaddenNFL 🫡. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

One thing is clear. Someone, somewhere played Madden against LeBron James recently and will never know it even happened.
