6 steps to move the Chargers to Los Angeles in Madden NFL 17

In recent years, EA Sports has been adding stadiums to "Madden NFL" one year prior to their openings. In "Madden 25" (2013), it was the 49ers' Levi's Stadium, which opened for the 2014 season. In "Madden 16" (2015), it was the Vikings' U.S. Bank Stadium, which opened this season. The LA Coliseum was added to "Madden 17" for the Rams, and next season's Mercedes Benz Stadium for the Falcons also was added. Should that trend continue, the new Inglewood stadium will first be seen in the 2018 release of "Madden NFL 19."



SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Chargers owner Dean Spanos made it official Thursday morning. He is moving the franchise to Los Angeles. The team released the following statement from Spanos: “After much deliberation, I have made the decision to relocate the Chargers to Los Angeles, beginning with the 2017 NFL season. "San Diego has been our home for 56 years.  It will always be part of our identity, and my family and I have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for the support and passion our fans have shared with us over the years. "But today, we turn the page and begin an exciting new era as the Los Angeles Chargers.

Follow this steps to move them now in the current video game instead of waiting on "Madden NFL 18" in August:
1. Start a new Franchise and select the Chargers.
2. Make sure to "Change Role" and choose "Owner" rather than the default, which is "Coach."
3. It doesn't matter whether you create an owner or stick with Alex Spanos. Adjust any other desired settings and then begin the season.
4. In Week 5 the option to declare intention to relocate appears. This is when the destination city of Los Angeles would be chosen.
5. In Week 6 the name of the team is selected. The Chargers name and branding can be carried over instead of going with one of the three created options.
6. In Week 8 the new stadium is chosen.

 
The steps are simple, but because "Madden NFL 17" begins in 2016 the first season will have to be played through or simulated in order to reach the 2017 season, where the relocation would take place.
