Madden NFL 24

Madden NFL 24 is an American football sports game and the next installment in the most popular series of its kind. It was developed by Tiburon, the same studio responsible for the franchise since the 1990s.

Mechanics

The game realistically replicates American football matches. This includes both the players' behavior on the field, developing strategies for the matches and training for them. The game is officially licensed, including meticulously recreated NFL teams, players and stadiums. Compared to the previous game, all these licensed elements have been updated to reflect the real-life changes in the sport.

The game is also heavily upgraded and changed. The new SAPIEN technology (available only on the PS5, XSX and PC) realistically recreates the players' movements and behavior on the field. The returning FieldSENSE system responsible for controlling the players has also been enhanced.

The AI has also been significantly tweaked. The players now behave realistically, react to situations on the field and their trust towards each other varies. Their skills also affect how good they are at passing.

Game modes

The game offers several different gameplay modes. Franchise has us managing a team through the entire season, not only during the matches themselves. We must recruit new players, train them and complete various scenarios.

The popular Ultimate Team mode also makes a comeback. It's a competitive online mode during which we create our own team using players drawn from random card packs.

There's also Superstar, a mode simulating the career of a single player, from the beginning to stardom. It features matches, training camp mini-games, talking to media, getting sponsors on board and maintaining a positive reception on social media. A player developed in such a way can compete against other players in 3v3 multiplayer battles.

There are also simpler single matches against the AI or other people.

Technical aspects

Madden NFL 24 features high-quality visuals. The models and locations are very detailed, while the animations are excellent.
