Original Story: A new commercial for Madden NFL 15 has surfaced, and it’s a bit more exaggerated than previous commercials we’ve seen for the franchise.
Comedian Kevin Hart and 21 Jump Street star Dave Franco go head-to-head for Madden season–will at least Kevin Hart does at first and Dave Franco just puts up with all his taunts.
Notable athletes like Damian Lillard, Eddie Lacy, and Colin Kaepernick make an appearance, as well as other well-known names like EpicMealTime’s Harley Morenstein.

Madden NFL 15 is set to release on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4 on August 26th.
