    Madden NFL 19 is a game that I have a love hate relationship with. On the one hand, it's graphics are beautiful. The animations recieved a much needed upgrade, and crowds look the best they've ever been in a madden game. Some modes, like Franchise mode recieved some nice upgrades (the ratings upgrade system is significantly improved), but was largely left ignored.

The animations recieved a much needed upgrade, and crowds look the best they've ever been in a madden game. Some modes, like Franchise mode recieved some nice upgrades (the ratings upgrade system is significantly improved), but was largely left ignored. I'm biased in sports games because these mods are my favorite in sports game, but Madden has largely left these modes ignored for the fifth year in a row. That said, there's still plenty of good. 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

    EA's touchdown sim gets plenty right, and leaves behind some fallow seasons. [Nov 2018, p.83]

    Madden NFL 19 isn’t exactly breaking new ground when it comes to EA’s football franchise, but it is a step in the right direction. The additions to Franchise and Ultimate Team modes provide a more complete experience that appeals to more players, and versus play is more seamless this year.

    If you're an absolute die-hard, I guess you’ve already picked up Madden NFL 19, but otherwise I'd warn you to hold off and continue playing last year's version. There's nothing special about this year's edition, and with all of the technical issues, it's a major bummer.
