The first trailer for Madden NFL 24 has been released, giving players a sneak peek into the upcoming NFL simulator. The game is tentatively scheduled to release on August 18, 2023, and will not be launching on Xbox One and PS4. The cover athlete for Madden 24 will be Josh Allen, the talented quarterback of the Buffalo Bills, marking the first time a Bills player has graced the cover. While fans have been calling for significant changes to the franchise, previous Madden titles have consistently sold well for Electronic Arts, and Madden 24 is expected to follow suit. However, given the negative reception of recent Madden games, the success of Madden 24 could determine the future leadership of EA. In response to fan feedback, the game will include significant changes to Franchise Mode, including features such as contract restructuring, trade improvements, and a more extensive training camp.
The trailer for Madden NFL 24 showcases some exciting in-game footage, including Patrick Mahomes executing his signature side throws and the Philadelphia Eagles gearing up for a celebration. However, fans have noticed that certain player models, like Baltimore's Patrick Queen and Los Angeles' Austin Ekeler, still don't receive the attention they deserve. Despite the promising features being added to the game, many fans remain cautiously optimistic about the improvements.
One of the most significant changes to Madden NFL 24 is the overhaul of its Franchise Mode. The developers have also focused on improving the moment-to-moment gameplay by enhancing FieldSENSE and SAPIEN. These changes are intended to make passing, tackling, and player motion appear more realistic and fluid compared to previous Madden titles. Additionally, defensive backs will have improved AI, and receivers will have better control, allowing for more accurate and realistic contested catches.
The Superstar Mode in Madden 24 has been upgraded to provide an enhanced experience for gamers who want to fulfill their NFL fantasies, whether alone or with friends. The modernization of this mode has made it possible for players to start from the NFL Combine and progress all the way to the Draft. Despite the promising improvements, there are concerns among the community about how well Electronic Arts will execute them. Nevertheless, fans can look forward to the release of player ratings for Madden 24 in the upcoming weeks. Madden NFL 24 is set to launch on August 18 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
