In some ways, the Madden NFL 24 video game, which was released Friday, is heading back to the future.
For the first time in years, the game has brought back minigames to help development in franchise mode. In that mode, EA Sports has revamped some of the trade logic and offered more spots to trade players and picks. The company has continued to tweak free agency, too, and offered ways to pick the strength of draft classes and new cities across the world to relocate, too (including Melbourne, Australia).
Within the game play, developers have attempted to get smarter with artificial intelligence improvements, added different ways to tackle and upgraded the mechanics of blocking for offensive linemen.
