Former Giants & Jets like Bart Oates & Wesley Walker hang with Madden gamers

EAST GARDEN CITY, NEW YORK—The action was pretty intense as the players competed to win it all. Any football player will tell you that for a team to be successful, it must run the ball, have a good passing attack, and play good defense. That goes for real football as well as hitting the right buttons on a video game.

But not everyone is a gamer.

“I have to understand the game first,” said former Giants center Bart Oates who was at the Microsoft Store at the Roosevelt Field Mall this past Sunday at a tournament and launch party to help promote the new Madden 19 video game.
