Madden NFL 19 Cover Athlete, Worldwide Launch August 10th (Graphic:

Madden NFL 19 is set to push players onto the path of gridiron
greatness with more precision and control than ever before
worldwide on August 10th. Want to tackle the gridiron on the go?
Rebuilt from the ground up to deliver a completely revamped
football experience, Madden NFL Overdrive is the new update for
mobile available August 15th, 2018 on iOS and Android.
“I am beyond honored to be on the cover of both Madden games,”
said Brown. “There’s a lot of milestones athletes dream of, and
after being inducted into the Madden 99 Club earlier this year, and
now appearing on the cover of this year’s games, it’s clear that
business is not just booming, but I’m also among the all-time
greatest with these honors.”
Fans eager to control AB and other NFL stars will see the
immediate benefits of Real Player Motion in Madden NFL 19. RPM
technology will give fans even more control of in-game moves and
immersive animations, making AB and other players move and act like
their real-life counterparts as they charge through the game,
showcasing their unique personalities, mannerisms, and of course,
celebrations.
“AB has taken the league by storm the past few years and is
arguably one of the best wide receivers to ever play in the NFL,”
said Joshua Rabenovets, Sr. Brand Director at EA SPORTS. “His game
is hot, he’s got a ton of personality on and off the field - he was
an easy choice for the Madden NFL 19 cover.”
Fans can also look forward to the continuation of last year’s
first-ever Madden NFL story-mode with the return of Longshot:
Homecoming. Players will have more control over Devin Wade and Colt
Cruise’s football quest with more NFL gameplay, more ways to impact
the story, new storylines, and the ability to continue their
Longshot journey within Franchise and Ultimate Team.
