    Classic madden installment. Longshot mode is aggravating for the trophy hunting community in the way of long cut scenes you can’t skip. Unfortunately the servers are now closed for this game.

It is a great representation of the sport, delivering a comprehensive and authentic football experience for both casual and hardcore fans. One of the most notable aspects of Madden NFL 19 is its improved graphics and animations, which bring the game to life like never before. Players look and move realistically, and the stadiums are beautifully rendered, with weather effects adding to the atmosphere. Another major technological advancement in this game is the introduction of Real Player Motion (RPM) technology, which revolutionizes player movement and control. The animations are now smoother and more fluid, making the game feel more responsive and immersive. The game also features an updated franchise mode, with new tools and features that allow players to create and manage their own NFL dynasty. The mode is well-designed, and offers plenty of customization options, giving players the freedom to build the team of their dreams. Overall, Madden NFL 19 is a fantastic addition to the franchise and a true testament to the technological advancements made in the gaming industry. It's a must-play for any football fan and a great representation of the sport.… Expand

    Madden 19 was and is the WORST Madden Game ever made. Madden 19 showed nothing new at all even though it was a commercial success, I still say that Madden 13 was the worst game of the Franchise because it was the title that killed the series and set up the terrible foundation for future titles but one thing that Madden 13 is obviously better than Madden 19 is gameplay because Madden 19Madden 19 was and is the WORST Madden Game ever made.

    Madden 19's Franchise Mode was completely shallow and made Madden 08 feel superior to Madden 19. There was barely anything to do in the game, there wasn't a Superstar or Career Mode just a sequel to Longshot from Madden 18 with barely any gameplay, there was also no Mini-Camp, Tournament Mode, Fantasy Football Mode (Ultimate Team w/no micro-transactions), and a lot more game modes... This game had nothing else to do than opening MUT packs. The game is missing over 80+ features, the gameplay is completely ruled by animations, & so many BUGS AND GLITCHES!!!

    Sports games today except Rocket League are incredibly underwhelming and EA Sports Games are the worst sports games today. Just go play other sports games like Madden 2004-08, NCAA Football, NFL/NBA/FIFA Street, NFL 2K, All-Pro Football 2K8, NBA 2K except 2K18, Backbreaker, older MLB the Show titles, Fight Night, and many more titles. Play those sports games or play other games instead of playing this buggy/glitchy cash-grabbing filth of a game.

    This has to be the worst madden ever. The gameplay is just absurdly awful. The only game mode I enjoyed was longshot and even sometimes I had to mute my tv because It was so cringe. I'd much rather play madden 20 or 21 and those are terrible games. At this point just take away all game modes and leave ultimate team there. DONT BUY IT.

Don't feed the beast and give in because it's the only thing on the shelves; just suck it up and play the older ones for a year when the latest edition comes out and force EA to change their ways.

    I've played Madden since 1996...yep. This is not a good game this year. Large defense players are way too fast and catch up with the ball carrier way to unrealistic. Linebackers also make incredible jumps and interceptions. I would not recommend buying this game. Just play an older version with a roster you like. I bought brand new and then sold it. Worst Madden ever.

    Unpopular opinion: I liked Longshot. But that's it. Franchise mode was still the same, and the game had the least features of probably any sports game. Only Play Now, Franchise, Longshot, and stupid Ultimate Team.

    I decided to get my old GameCube out and play some of my old games during Christmas time. After awhile I ended up playing Madden 08, which is the last Madden game I played.

I then got a wild idea, "I should get Madden 19 for my PS4! It will be so cool to see how much progress this game had made in 11 years!".

    Franchise Mode:
    Upon loading the game up I realized that the "create a team feature" has been removed. I then found out that I can relocate my team in franchise mode, but you can't really create a team. You have to choose between a few politically correct pre made teams. I then got to my first off season. And this is when I realized that Madden 08 is a more complete game then Madden 19. All you do in the off season is sign free agents, complete the draft, and that's it. The whole franchise mode has been drastically simplified. It's pathetic. There was so much more to do in franchise mode in Madden 08. Madden 19 is a watered down, simplified, lazy, and un-engaging mode.

    Gameplay:
    The gameplay really sucks. First off, the presentation is horrible. It gets annoying because the announcers are horrible. And it cuts to showing the coach way to often. I literally don't care at all about the coach. So holding "X" after every play to skip the cut scene of the coach's reaction to the play gets profoundly annoying. Also, the passing is broken in this game. You cannot throw a pass over a defender in this game. If there is a defender between the QB and receiver, the pass will get intercepted if you throw it. The AI is broken as well. Especially for running. You need to manually control every single run, because the AI is incapable of running though a hole, or following a blocker. All these issues were not present in Madden 08.

    MUT Mode:
    I refuse to play this piece of garbage. This mode is what's wrong with the gaming industry. Imagine if instead of MUT we got a complete franchise mode experience.

    This game is trash. I rated it a zero, because I bought this game. And after playing it for a couple days, I will be returning to Madden 08 on the GameCube.    … Expand

Almost no matter how good your team is in Franchise Mode, if you want to spectate your games, you're gonna lose most of them.. Your team (especially your quarterback) just performs horribly, for example I had Kirk Cousins throw 10 touchdowns and 30 interceptions over the course of a season. Even if I turn down the interceptions slider, he will just throw a ton of incompletions while Ryan Fitzpatrick throws for 3 TDs and 300 yards on the other team. This was definitely more balanced in previous games. With Ultimate Team advertisements in the main menu, it often feels like EA doesn't pay any attention to other game modes - they have definitely lost a customer until the game (and especially Franchise Mode) receives a serious overhaul.… Expand

However, the version 4 years prior was the only one of the last decade other than 19.

    Game is very scripted. I have played 5-6 seasons and had one where I lost 8 games in the final defense of a drive.

    I have a running back that has got worse each season as he almost never breaks tackles. First and second year he had about the same number and the third year was half the number, per run. He was rated about 80 average the first year, upper 80s the second, and about 94 the third.

    MUT (Ultimate Team)

    The solo battles which is equivalent to FIFA's squad battles requires an online subscription, while FIFA does not. Also, you have to wait days to get a new set of games. The rewards are also quite poor compared to other game modes. The solo challenges can be fun but can also be very frustrating as they seem to be far more scripted. I just played 7 of the training challenges and NEVER stopped a team on 3rd down in 9 (Played last one 3 times) challenges, except once. In that game I had a 3-point lead and the computer threw into double coverage. The deep man kept running deeper while the pass was angled to the sideline so he was too far from the receiver. The Front defender just dropped to a walking speed allowing the receiver to catch the ball for a first down and this was on 4th and long. They get a touch down later so I had to get one to win. I march down field and score a TD with 12 seconds left. No return on the kickoff so they start at their 25. I run a 3 man line with deep zone defense and they pass. Single defender can't make the tackle and the deep defenders let him get 30 yards more before he is taken down for a 58 yard gain with 2 seconds to go. They kick a field goal to tie the game. I win the toss and get to where I can kick a 44-yard field goal. I have not missed under 50, even in high wind with my kicker. I kick the field goal and it hits the bottom bar and bounces out. I eventually intercept the ball and stop a team for the first time in about 20 drives. Note, my defense is rated about 86 with the teams I played being 76-81 overall. I drive down field and kick a 26 yard field goal I thought I was going to miss because it barely cleared the bar.

    Some noteworthy issues with the game.
    1. Forward progress marking is terrible. I had a receiver catch a ball and get hit at the 1 and knocked back and a second defender drops him at the 4. He never moved forward after the first hit so it should have been at the 1. Next play, I run the ball and get hit at the 1 and they pile on pushing me back to the 11 where I finally hit the ground. Should have been marked at the 1 and it was marked at the 11. I have seen many dozens of bad marking like this and likely have not noticed most of those that happened to shave a yard or two off.

    2.Scripting. The other team seems to be pre-determined to play very well or very poorly. It seems very weighted to the former.

    3. Too many big plays. Plays of 15+ yards are the norm.

    4. Too pass dependent. Running is often much harder than passing. In hundreds of tackles when running between the ends of the offensive line I have never broken one made behind the line, even when not using the acceleration burst.

    5. MUT is too online focused. No solo option that I can see to fine tune your team like the leagues in FIFA.    … Expand

    I am going to be as objective as possible with this review. I was going to give this game a 0 but to be fair there are some aspects which are not that terrible, but let me explain.

The only difference is that now you are able to choose what aspect of your player you want to upgrade    I am going to be as objective as possible with this review. I was going to give this game a 0 but to be fair there are some aspects which are not that terrible, but let me explain.

    Franchise mode:
    - There is absolutely nothing new about Franchise mode as opposed to last years game. The only difference is that now you are able to choose what aspect of your player you want to upgrade after each game, that is, if they received enough points for improvement.
    - The draft class upload is the only feature that is really nice. You can upload draft classes from online all the way up to 2023, if enough people have created these draft classes online.
    - If you want to relocate your team or upgrade your stadium, there is no need because the stadiums, team names, and relocation cities have stayed the same since 2012.

    Let us move on to other things:

    Gameplay:

    The gameplay offline is alright, but the one thing I absolutely hate is the animations this year. What I mean by this is that if you have a receiver wide open and you tell your QB to throw high, the linebacker or whoever will jump about 10 feet high to intercept it. That is my review on offline gameplay, which is not that bad...

    Then I decided to try the online gameplay...holy **** a disgrace, let me explain:

    I don't know what it is about these animations this year but whenever you try to tackle somebody online with the hitstick they decide to spin off the tackle like a ballerina. I am not saying I am using a CB to tackle a FB, rather, I am using a DT to tackle a QB while he is running, and no it is not Michael Vick, it was Dan Marino. In addition, whenever you try to tackle someone online (MUT Squads against computer) the computer doesn't just spin off 1 tackle but off several.

    Anyway enough of that aspect...let us move towards MUT squads:

    MUT squads is not bad, but if you are not willing to spend the coins, then there will have to be countless hours put into the challenges if you want to get a team to compete against others online or even against the computer online. The standard you have to have in order to compete online is an average of an 88overall team. Even that may not be acceptable. But that is my benchmark and then most of the time, people will use "Money plays" every single time.

    "Money plays" are plays that work everytime because the computer (AI) is unable to actually respond to the same play that is being chosen. There used to be a time where Madden actually took skill to play such as Madden 1998-2013 (roughly) but now it is all dependent on "Money plays".

    Let me go back to gampelay for a second:

    - Pre-snap issues:
    - If you tell your defense to base align, they do the complete opposite. If you tell them to watch overtop, they will get beat overtop. So those pre-snap calls are absolutely useless.

    - Half-time show attempt:
    - Congratulations! Madden has ESPN or whoever now, but is unable to make anything of it because the halftime show during your game is just scores being recorded throughout the league by Jonathan Coachman. This is not needed as I can see this while playing the game.
    - God forbid you skip the halftime show, because then Madden personally attacks you with stupid phrases like: "well alright then, I guess I won't take a break"... so funny...maybe it is just because I heard it so often that it gets annoying when they keep saying sly sayings when you decided to skip the halftime show.

    The Story mode:
    - The story mode is not even worth playing because it is just a movie. It is a nice feature but all it is, is that is a mode for new people coming to madden or even football and just want to be interactive in a playable (partly) movie.
    - I did not even complete the story mode because it is not worth my time.

    Conclusion:
    - The same game as Madden 16 pretty much with updated rosters and a new story mode.
    - MUT squads is a decent mode if you actually invest time into it, however, do not expect to win much if you plan to go online. Also if you play MUT squads online against the computer with a friend, always go into a regular defense if the computer is on 4th and less than 10 yards. It is a guaranteed fake every time.

    - Franchise mode is nothing new, and I have played the entire 15 seasons, so trust me it just gets repetitive after the first 3 seasons as every team just get's the same generic stadium because they want to have the newest stadium. I literally played 9 teams in the same stadium in my 7th season.
    - Gameplay is terrible and needs a complete makeover to the point where it takes skill again and the animations aren't something out of a Michael Bay film. 10 feet jumps from the AI, while your player is having a seizure when you tell him to jump up for a ball.

    Save yourself and dont buy this game, although it is May so this review is probably not worthy to anyone. Anyway, Madden 20 won't be much different but I will buy it, cuz what else am i gonna play    … Expand

    This game is awful. Maybe 1% effort went into making this. Its still the same game from 10 years ago. Bring back NFL 2K FOOTBALL

    Made an account just to rip this game to shreds, here it goes;

    The gameplay is far beneath expected of a AAA game; there are some animations that are still in the game from like Madden 07; it's choppy; the AI is incredibly stupid; Runningbacks don't play to their unique skillset and miss wide open holes and running lanes; Players have no weight (how is a 330lb Offensive guard flying    Made an account just to rip this game to shreds, here it goes;

    The gameplay is far beneath expected of a AAA game; there are some animations that are still in the game from like Madden 07; it's choppy; the AI is incredibly stupid; Runningbacks don't play to their unique skillset and miss wide open holes and running lanes; Players have no weight (how is a 330lb Offensive guard flying around like a ragdoll?); Worst of all the morphing and scripting continue to overpower any raw organic gameplay this heap of trash possesses...Gameplay is really embarrassing

    Graphics are alright but they are behind NHL and 2K when it comes to body models and just overall look, it has this plastic look to it, it's weird.

    No new features, just recycled from previous maddens that had them and were removed for some odd reason, most of the changes are just lipstick on a pig. Franchise receiving the worst of it by "immersing" me by showing me a slide show of my coach doing the same 4 things for every day of his career LMFAO, they removed the good player lock camera from last year, so now no controlling the defense *Facepalm*    … Expand

    Madden 19 does not redefine the series but it's a great game nevertheless.

    Madden NFL 19 is a sublime example of what can be achieved with a sports title. The Real Player Motions generates that feeling of not 'controlling' players, but rather living as the players instead. Seeing how lifelike all the players are within a match, and how they communicate with each other before and during plays, and then watching them seamlessly get into the next play, is freakishly uncanny.

    Madden 19 is much like Madden 18 before it.
