Madden 24 Gameplay Trailer revealed
To the joy of the Madden community, EA Sports has finally released the Madden 24 Gameplay Trailer.
The trailer covered all the new gameplay changes that Madden 24 brings, such as an Improved AI, the introduction of the SAPIEN Technology, and a plethora of new tackling and throw animations.
These changes are expected to take the title to a new level and provide fans with a unique gaming experience.
Madden 24 on PS5
Madden 24 will allow PS5 users to experience a plethora of new features. These features are only available for next-gen consoles. So, if you want to experience Madden 24 in all its glory, the PS5 is the perfect console to do it in.
The new Madden 24 features improve the overall gameplay. Ai players are now smarter, which enables smoother and more realistic player reactions.
Passing was also improved in Madden 24, with new throw animations, and improved catching for AI players. This makes the gaming experience much better and more immersive.
Some game modes also received massive upgrades. These game modes are mostly single-player focused, such as Franchise, and Superstar. However, Madden Ultimate Team also introduced some new features.
In Madden 24, the Superstar game mode offers new customization features, plenty of new mini-games, and a live player grading system. It also introduced the Superstar Showdown, which allows players to showcase their skills in a 3v3 match, with a unique atmosphere.
The Franchise mode has been left behind for years but was finally prioritized in this edition. Developers fixed the database issues that plagued the mode and improved the contract management feature.
New mini-games, training camp drills, and a reworked team relocation feature were added to Franchise. Free agency was also completely restructured. Players can now make counter offers to cornerstone playmakers, and restructure their contracts in multiple ways.
New commissioner tools were also added to the game mode. This will allow players to have full customization power over their online and offline leagues.
It's also worth noting that, Crossplay will only be available for the next-gen consoles.
Madden 24 Release Date
Madden 24 release date is Friday, 18 August 2023.
This perfectly aligns with the timing used in recent years, with Madden 23 and Madden 22 both having a worldwide launch on the third Friday in August.
Madden 24 will also have Early Access, which allows players to experience the game three days earlier. Players that buy the Madden 24 Deluxe edition, can start playing on Tuesday, August 15.
Crossplay
Crossplay has been on the wishlist of Madden fans for years. It allows you to play online with or against people on other platforms.
Fans were left disappointed in Madden 23, with cross-play not included in the title. However, Madden 24 will finally introduce the highly anticipated feature.
Players were very excited when they heard this news. They will finally be able to play with friends that have the game on different platforms.
This feature alone makes it worth buying Madden 24. It's by far the most important feature added to the game in recent years. However, it's worth noting that, only next-gen platforms will have access to crossplay.
Cross-platform
For those that haven't been able to get hold of a PS5 yet, but think they might be able to during Madden 24's cycle, cross-platform could be a key inclusion on the game.
Madden 23 included Dual Entitlement on the All Madden Edition, which granted access to PS4 and PS5 versions, with some progress syncing as long as you're using the same account for each.
Everything in Madden Ultimate Team could transfer except progress in competitive modes, and all progression in The Yard carried over, however, Franchise Mode and Face of the Franchise had absolutely zero carry-over for your save files.
So far, we still don't know if progress syncing between old-gen and next-gen consoles will be possible. However, the PlayStation store has a warning saying:
Game progress may not transfer between platforms.
This might indicate that, while some users will be able to transfer their progress others might find some issues with it.
Madden 24 is the most important title in franchise history
Madden 24 will either "make or break" the gaming franchise. The title has been the only NFL game for years, having a stronghold over the market. In the opinion of many fans, the lack of competition led to a slow decline in the game quality.
Madden 24 needs to be a great game to win the Madeen community back. Some big errors that have taken place in past years have also made fans a little bit angry.
After an update of Madden 23 made many players lose their Franchise mode saves, EA was met with heavy backlash from the community. To once again fall in the good graces of the Madden community, EA will have to deliver a groundbreaking game.
Madden 24 trailer
