"We've worked directly with community members on Madden NFL 19 to
make a deeper, more immersive football game that gives players what they
want - more choice, more control, and key enhancements to fan-favorite
modes," said Carlos Guerrero, Sr. Producer on Madden NFL 19.
"Real Player Motion technology combined with all new franchise-building
tools like Positional Archetypes and the return of Custom Draft Classes
are features that football fans will find fun and engaging. Madden
NFL 19 steps up the authentic football experience in so many ways."
In Madden NFL 19 Franchise Mode, players can choose the offensive
and defensive schemes that best fit their playstyle as they compete in
single player and/or multiplayer seasons. Schemes are also linked to a
new intuitive progression system - based on authentic positional
archetypes - that give virtual coaches the tools and the big decision to
either win now or build their squad for the future. NFL fans will also
have a top community-requested feature with the introduction of Custom
Draft Class Creator where fans can create their own draft classes
featuring players from the past and present for use in Franchise.
Madden NFL 19 Ultimate Team gives fans even more ways to choose
their path to glory as new training tools let them develop their
favorite players their way via Player Upgrades. For players who want to
prove they're the best of the best in Solo Challenges, a new curated
single-player experience called MUT Solo Battles provides a leaderboard
reward system allowing fans to showcase their skills on the field while
competing against other top Ultimate Team players.
