EA Sports released their Madden NFL 24 Superstar Mode trailer and Gridiron Notes providing plenty of additional details. The team goes over the NFL Combine, Mini Games and Real-Time Player Grading, providing more ways to play and progress your way to the 99 Club.
Your path to fame begins with your role as a rookie, entering the NFL draft as a QB, RB, WR, LB, or CB, guided by Coach Prime, Deion Sanders himself. An updated rendition of the playable NFL Combine provides an opportunity to display your abilities through mini-games like the 40-yard dash, bench press, broad jump and 3-cone shuttle.
Your performance in the combine drills affects your draft position and potential rewards, compared to your peers in the 2023 NFL Combine. Your initial ratings, determined by your chosen archetype, influence your outcomes in each drill. After the combine mini-games, position-specific drills further shape your draft position. A Combine Interview with timed football-themed questions refines your draft rank, so you’ll want to answer as many questions correctly as possible to improve your draft stock. Following the combine, you’ll be drafted based on your combined performance and actual team needs. Players also have the option to bypass the entire process and select your preferred team.
Once you’ve inked your rookie contract, everything rides on you with the all-new in-game Player Grading system, offering instant feedback on your in-game performance. These dynamic assessments shine a spotlight on your effectiveness during every snap, underscoring the critical importance of executing. Your performance grade for each drive influences the rewards you receive, facilitating rating improvements and equipping abilities.
The Superstar Missions system offers a task list for personalized objectives and rewards, spanning game goals, seasonal targets, career milestones and off-field surprises as your career unfolds, including weekly stories and beats in the new Social Media Feed. To enhance your off-field Superstar reputation, engage in Side Activities, featuring a weekly schedule of diverse opportunities to elevate you or your team’s ratings. These include Community Events, training, recovery and Madden Mini-Games. Each week, you can hit the practice field and enhance your ratings by participating in position-specific mini-games like Rushing Attack, Passing Skeleton, WR/DB Battle, among others returning to the game this year.
