Dozens of improvements to foundational football elevate the
Madden NFL 24 football experience, while the return of fan-favorite
Superstar Mode and mini-games (on PS5™, Xbox Series X|S and PC
versions) deliver fun new ways to play and learn the game. Plus,
for the first time, fans can play with friends regardless of their
platform with cross-play support and feature parity on PS5™, Xbox
Series X|S and PC in head-to-head and certain online multiplayer
modes.
“We set a new foundation for football gameplay with the
introduction of FieldSENSE last year, which was one of the
best-selling years in Madden NFL franchise history, and we’re going
even deeper in the areas our fans want most in Madden NFL 24,” said
Mike Mahar, Senior Producer, Madden NFL. “We’ve added more ways to
play with mini-games and Superstar, more realism through
FieldSENSE, deeper immersion with dozens of foundational football
improvements and the introduction of SAPIEN Technology – all of
which bring the game closer to what fans see from the NFL.”
Buffalo Bills fans have something special to celebrate as their
quarterback, Josh Allen, becomes the first Bills player ever to
land the cover of Madden NFL. One of the most dynamic playmakers in
the league, Allen owns the NFL record for total touchdowns (177)
through five career seasons, which propelled him to become the most
used player in Madden NFL 23.
“As a fan of Madden NFL since childhood, I’m honored to be the
first Buffalo Bills player on the cover, and I wouldn’t have gotten
here without the support of my team and Bills Mafia,” said Josh
Allen. “Superstar and mini-games are back in Madden, and I’m really
excited for fans to see how the experiences have evolved.”
Gameplay in Madden NFL 24 for PS5™, Xbox Series X|S, and PC is
more realistic, with improvements to FieldSENSE delivering
increased control in throwing, catching, and tackling and SAPIEN
delivering more body definition that improves the fluidity of
athletic motion. More upgrades available on these platforms
include:
- Hit Everything: New contested catch tackles provide more
control to play the receiver and new tackle types like: Wrap
tackles, Scoop tackles and all-new Hit-Stick animations add
personality and more variety on defense. Dynamic branching tech now
expands to blocking as well.
- Skill Based Passing: Skill Based Passing makes throwing
and catching feel more fluid. An overhauled catching system ensures
that receivers consistently maintain their momentum when catching
the ball. It feels better than ever to hit a receiver in stride,
giving you more control to get loose and get up-field after the
catch. A variety of new passing and catching animations capture the
authenticity that players expect – dive catches, no-look passes and
some game-changing moments never before seen in Madden.
- Foundational Football: Enhancements across blocking,
ball carrier pathfinding, quarterback decision making and defensive
back behaviors not only provide confidence your AI teammates will
execute your gameplan the way you intend, but also deliver an
authentic challenge. An all-new post-play engine brings the emotion
of an NFL game to life through more realistic reactions and more
emotive celebrations and frustrations.
- Superstar Mode: Superstar returns with modernized
versions of beloved experiences like your journey through the NFL
Combine and Road To The Draft. New additions like 3v3 Superstar
Showdown give fans the ability to live their NFL fantasy with
friends.
- Mini-Games: Test your skills with dozens of new
mini-games, including moving obstacles and destructible targets in
Franchise training camp or weekly strategy; every week in Superstar
Mode; and playable from the main menu.
- Franchise: Added depth in one of the most popular Madden
NFL modes addresses top community requests like contract
restructuring, trade improvements and deeper customization to name
a few. Plus, mini-games are back with training camp and weekly
training.
