    Just ignore all of the bad reviews, if you're a die-hard Madden fan then you'll love this game! Each year Madden just gets better and better, though the music is a bit lackluster this year that doesn't take away from the exciting hard hitting action! Get in the 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

    I haven't played Madden since Madden 10 and this game feels great so far.

    I really enjoy how franchise mode plays out and the overall feel of the game is much better than the previous one I played on xbox 360. The player motion feels great and the AI seems much smarter.

    Madden 19 is a big improvement from madden 18 across the board except for long shot.

Running the ball is a bit more difficult this year but if it feels a lot more fun. MUT isn’t as pay to win (for the time being), which makes a solo grinder budget guy like me happy. The power system in MUT this year is way better than last years power up system. Franchise mode is better but still not great. It’s harder to build a dynasty this year on account of realism, you can import custom draft classes, and the new archetype system paired with schemes increases the immersion. However, the sim stats in franchise seem a bit unrealistic, with edge rushers consistently getting nearly 20 or above 20 sacks, among other statistical issues. For the bad, Longshot I’ve heard was meh, but that’s not what I play the game for. Online, the strip ball mechanic can be overpowered at times. The commentary is pretty bad and doesn’t capture the excitement of the game. Finally, the running animation is really awkward and weird. Overall, Madden 19’s much improved gameplay and franchise make it a worthy buy.… Expand

The running is tougher but I like that. The A.I. is much more intelligent now as now teams really do play more like their real life counterparts. I played against Steelers and they ran the ball much more than the pass happy Patriots. Also the DBs in this game for the first time ever in a Madden game, do not drop the ball. Now if a QB makes a bad throw more than likely DB will come down with Interception. Graphics are significantly better. Most importantly, Madden 19 does not feel repetitive like 18.

It's a nice wrinkle for those of us that have been autopilot for the past few years. Still no real customization for team relocation which is a big disappointment and the soundtrack is inexcusably bad (one Pusha T song with a collection of bottom of the barrel trap garbage). The In-Game graphics, sound and commentary have all been given a shiny coat of paint as they do every year. The other shining bright spot is overall control responsiveness. These controls are tighter than they've ever been and add to the experience overall. Good and meaningful improvements.

    The effectiveness of popular offensive plays from previous versions due to the poor game engine have been nerfed due to how rigged some of those plays were. CPU blitzing is also more effective in this years version. In ultimate team, the ranked MUT draft still gives above average players a good opportunity to earn rewards without having to grind through the solo challenges. However, I do wish at some point they'll release all-pro or all-madden solo challenges that don't require us to grind out so many rookie and pro challenges.

    Overall, Madden has been consistent in making slight improvements at best year to year. No one should be purchasing this game unless they plan to play online competitive modes because everything else is pretty trash and way to easy. This game is still great for online competitive play. The improved computer blitzing and nerfing plays that have been way too effective year after year due to poor game engine/mechanics will make online more competitive, which will continue to challenge online players in a new way.    … Expand

The commentary is improving, the sounds on the field are realistic, and the overall presentation is solid, with the execption of replays, which often times leave you on an awkward angle where you can't even see the play.

    Without question, the most infuriating mode is Home Coming. The mode is absoletely a joke, lasting a mere 3 hours without completing an NFL season (again). This mode is an embarrasement to sports gaming and needs to be done, from the ground up.    … Expand

    Why isn't there a player look customization tool with facial features, body type, etc?

    It just crazy....

    They do this because the millions just buy it, then throw tons of money at Ultimate Team after that. This is why having one company with the pro license is really bad. Nobody pushes the genre forward.

    I think NFL needs to open the license for competition again. I think that games should either be free platforms with microtransactions, or pay one price and play with all features. No mixing the two.

    The NFL games, and EA sports gaming in general are getting worse the longer they go on with exclusive rights. They make hit games by buying the licenses. The sitting on them and adding Ultimate team microtransactions. They are hit games because they are the only choice for the given sport. (At least FIFA has PES to compete with. But look at PGA, it got tons of competition and then EA gave up. Look at basketball, NBA2k is now the dominant franchise. It is possible to compete with them, so much so that when someone else innovates EA crumbles.)

    I would like to see NFL19 sell 20-30% less and have EA actually have to really dig and make a great game again to draw players. Or for the NFL to allow multiple publishers make competing games.
    Then we'd see some great things happen.    … Expand

You seriously could HB toss right and left your way to victory in every single game because the AI never learns.
    I like to play D-line when I play and the linemen all have this ability to get magnetically drawn to the O-line. This has been like this since the Madden 90's era. Forcing the lineman to butt heads. Also the offense is just as bad. When a dime zone defense lines up on a fake punt offense and the pass completes for 40 yards it is almost as bad as a goaline blitz 90 rated defense watching a 62 rated HB run up the middle untouched from 15 yards out for a touchdown.
    The only reason Madden gets the reviews it does is because of team/player licensing and nobody else wants to try and get in the business of football games because EA has cornered the market since the early 90's.
    All in all just another EA game with purchase options to boost your Madden Ultimate Team(MUT) to whatever your wallet can handle to blow away single purchase players online with booster pack players.

While some bugs are comical in nature, such as the LB turning and staring at the referee which makes me think of some humorous situations where such an action would happen in the middle of a play, others are not so funny, annoying, or downright infuriating. One of the most common bugs that is fairly annoying but not too bad is the injury notification that flashes every other play when no injury occurs. This will pop up several times in a game when noone gets hurt and will scare you a little the first time it occurs but will become annoying once you realize it is just a hoax. Another glitch involves the use of coach mode, in which the offense will run on autopilot as the mode intended, but the defense will not. This isn't even a situation where not touching the controller will put autopilot on, as if no action occurs, then the player will stand idle. The game soft locks if you spectate a field goal attempt regardless of you kicks it. LBs will stop in place to allow CPU RBs to break off for big yardage. CPU LBs will phase through linemen to tackle your runner behind the line of scrimmage on All-pro and All-Madden difficulty. on harder difficulties, QBs can break off multiple sacks in order to make a big play even if your defense plays flawless. If you use the 3rd person camera for defense, the game does not autoflip the control stick for tackles, so when you go to tackle, your guy will dive away from where you want to since the game is reading the stick in the opposite direction. During the pre-snap, the QB will sometimes wonder toward the sidelines and rarely , though quite infuriatingly enough, not come back resulting in a delay of game. If you call an audible on offense and also a hot route before snapping the ball, the game will sometimes not allow you to snap the ball unless you reset the play to the one you originally called. The player lock-on focuses on the player, but does not position the camera to where you can see the ball, so you are for the first couple seconds playing blind to what the offense is doing. And last but not least, Leveon Bell can teleport across the field, don't believe me look it up.In its state as of writing this, this game is annoying to play really needs to be ironed out.… Expand

The Longshot hasn't been that good, and I bet Madden 20 is going to have the same thing to the story mode, cutscenes, cheesy dialogue, and a little bit of gameplay. At least with Fifa's the Journey you get to play as many games instead of watching cutscenes, and the Journey as fun to play. Madden Ultimate Team mode has been fun to play if it didn't have any of those stupid microtransactions. The game is still fun to play with your friends. The franchise mode it better than last year with the addition of draft classes in the game. EA is nothing but a terrible company that doesn't listen to there fans, makes the game worst, and lastly ruins everything that made Madden great in the first place. If EA didn't have to buy the whole license in the first place, there still would have been NFL 2k vs. Madden today. Imaging if NBA 2k decides to obtain the entire NBA exclusive license to destroy there competitor NBA Live and NBA 2k would still be the exact same thing year after year, and people would hate the game even more. That what Madden is today. I think it's about time that EA finally gives up the whole NFL exclusive license so we can have NFL 2k vs. Madden again, and make sports games great again.… Expand
