Madden 24 Servers Down

EA Sports has revealed the first look at Madden 24 with a new trailer featuring the gameplay. Madden 24 will feature the new SAPIEN Technology that delivers a leap forward in NFL realism by rebuilding the character skeleton, providing more body definitions and variations to physiques on the field.

Moreover, for the first time in the EA Sports Madden franchise, players can play with their friends regardless of their platform with cross-play mode. Fan-favorites Superstar Mode and mini-games will also be seeing a return in Madden 24.

Gracing the cover of Madden 24 is the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills, Josh Allen, becoming the first Bills player to ever land on the cover of Madden NFL. Allen holds the record in NFL for total touchdowns (177) through his five career seasons, which made him the most-played person in Madden 23.

Here’s a list of upgrades coming to Madden 24:

  • 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.
