What’s New in Madden 19?
One of the first things I noticed when playing the game was the difficulty of the running game. I found it easier to run with mobile quarterbacks out of passing plays, than it was to use a traditional running back in run plays. The holes definitely closed up quicker in the games that I played. It may take you a bit of time to perfect the run game.
Fans of the franchise mode will be pleased to learn there is a new Draft Class Creator which should take shape once members of the Madden community begin importing future draft classes. College football fans will like being able to use the 2019 draft class and beyond that are likely to be available for download through the community. Here’s how EA Sports described the update.
If you can imagine it, you can Draft it. Build your own custom Draft Classes for use in Franchise by creating fictional characters from the past, present, and future or by editing Draft Classes shared by the Madden Community. When Scouting starts in Week 3 of the regular season, you will be prompted to either use an auto-generated class, download a class, or import a locally-saved class. Download and import any time Scouting is available, even if it’s later in the season, using Madden Share. This was the #1 requested feature requested by our Franchise community.
There’s also some typical Madden Ultimate Team updates including a new CPU mode. Longshot is also back for a second season.
