Madden NFL 24 introduces exclusive next gen features, including SAPIEN technology, which allows for more realistic movement and more lifelike player models.

[2] Franchise mode includes the return of mini games for the first time since Madden NFL 12 as an exclusive feature in next gen, an increased amount of trade slots, added more cities and new and updated uniforms for relocation, and an improved free agency and draft system.

"[10] GamesRadar+ said: "No matter what nominally noticeable technical changes are happening under Madden 24's hood, they don't represent the gargantuan changes needed to bring the NFL series in line with various yearly sports game competition.

I would not want to revert to a previous year's game simply because the on-field gameplay is clearly better, while virtually everything surrounding its best attribute feels incomplete or undesirable.

It feels as though Madden is now like a team with a star quarterback surrounded by a bad offensive line, unreliable wideouts, and a porous defense.
