According the report of Alexander Steinforth, head of Madden 23 coins Germany, three million people requested tickets were processed. This is roughly 40 Allianz Arenas of fans.
"We were able to anticipate it a bit in advance due to the approximately 600.000 people who registered for the presale in the past week," Steinforth told German news site Ran. "At the peak there were around 800.000 people waiting in the queue virtual during the time."Ticketmaster confirmed to us later that they could've sold up to the three-million mark. This level of demand -regardless of the event or concerts -- is usually only seen during the Super Bowl. This is why the advance sale for Madden NFL 23's German game has beat all expectations."
Steinforth added that the event may be remembered as one of the biggest in terms ticket requests that Germany has seen within the last few decades.Of course, the hype has led to some very long waiting times for fans who began to post their names and their places on the waiting lists via social media when the sale began earlier this week. One of those posts appears to confirm Steinforth's statements that literally hundreds of thousands were looking forward to the event.
"Unfortunately we weren't able to make any changes to the lengthy queues. This could be a sign of how many people were looking at it," Steinforth said about the few but unfulfilled requests.While the majority of fans will not be in attendance at the Seahawks-Buccaneers match, they will have more opportunities in the upcoming years. The league will host a annual regular-season game at the stadium of Frankfurt in 2023 and eventually plans to make international matches in Germany an annual occurrence.
Whether those games will have the same fervor remains to be seen. But for the moment the Madden NFL 23 can be extremely content with the early welcome it has received -an outcome that could not be said about the roughly 2925.000 people who weren't able to buy tickets.
The Kyler Murray 'study clause' is a distraction to the Cardinals' making
The week before, Kyler Murray was named one of the Madden NFL 23's top-paid quarterbacks, when he signed a 5 year, $230M contract. It was a sign of confidence, an expression of faith, a guarantee of the fact that Cardinals believed that Kyler Murray was destined to lead their team into their future. A few days later it's goneit was replaced with a disturbing, and frankly insulting clause in the agreement.
The "Independent Study Addendum" is a document obtained by Ian Rapoport of the Madden NFL 23 Network and it claims to state that the quarterback must study during this season or the team is entitled to put the contract into a default state, which Murray has to fix or else the deal will be declared unenforceable.
"Player must complete at a minimum an average of (4) hours of independent study (as defined below) each week (excluding any bye week) during each Playing Season (as described below) during the time for the Contact."
It goes on to outline what this means, and add that Murray can't multitask when he's studying for his class. There are no videos, no TV and no internet browsing during these four hours. If that sounds strange, it's because it is. This kind of study clause has never been a part of a Madden NFL 23 contract before, and while on the surface it might not seem like a big deal -- already we're seeing what the implications of the decision.
The issue at the heart of the addendum isn't mandating independent study but rather what the mandate says. The preciseness of the clause will lead anyone to the one result: "Kyler Murray doesn't study, so we're forcing him to." It's in contradiction to what the Cardinals had to do with this contract, which was inspire faith, put their support into Murray and continue to move forward.
Murray's relationship with cheap madden 23 coins fans needed healing.
