Haters are already hating, but that always happens. The addition of the following positions with their own unique ratings has really improved the experience: power halfback, slot wide receiver, rush left end, rush right end, rush defensive tackle, sub package linebacker and one or two others that I can’t think of at the moment. The graphics and player animations are completely overhauled. Strategy is upgraded. If you like football, and you aren’t a negative Nancy, buy this game.… Expand

There's nothing really new or revolutionary about it, and it delivers the expected experience. I'm personally not a fan of Madden Ultimate Teams, and the story was rather painful to slog through, but franchise mode and exhibition mode have always been the bread and butter of the Madden franchise, and they continue to deliver the mindless entertainment of Maddens past.… Expand

   I'll state this right off the bat: I'm someone who essentially only plays franchise mode.

I understand why EA would cater to their most popular mode that just so happens to rake in the $$$. But as a longtime fan of Madden? I'm offended EA continues to consistently give us a completely stale Franchise Mode. It's the same, and it's lazy.
   
   The rest of this review is going to be me simply ranting about a few specific things I don't like about the game.
   
   Team Re-Branding:
   How many years in a row have the options for team re-branding stayed exactly the same? Just embarrassing at this point. Re-branding and design is an area that NBA 2K absolutely blows Madden out of the park in. Which is yet another sad reminder of the type of game we'd have if 2K could still make NFL games...but I digress.
   
   Fantasy Drafting:
   Something I always love doing in Madden is starting up franchise mode, making myself the owner/coach of every team, and doing a huge fantasy draft where I make the picks for every team. In past versions, there was a ticker on the left hand side of the screen showing which picks have already been made and which teams were coming up. This year, it's gone! It makes no sense to me why they would take that away. This may sound like a pointless complaint, but that's the sort of weird crap I do with this Madden every year, and having that taken away is a big deal to me.
   
   Customized Draft Classes:
   Draft classes you can upload to franchise mode? That's awesome. I love that. That's one thing I can easily applaud them for. But it might be the only thing.
   
   Soundtrack is Generic and Terrible:
   Does anyone remember a time when the Madden soundtrack was actually legit? Feels like it's been getting progressively worse since the early 2000s. I remember how exciting it used to be hearing a new Madden soundtrack for the first time and getting all of those sweet jams stuck in my head. Heck, even to this day almost 15 years later I still have Yellowcard's "Way Away" playing in my head on loop... all thanks to Madden 2004. But Madden 19? I simply have no words for this abomination of a "soundtrack." It's a generic disgrace. I can only assume they're going this route now in order to save money on song royalties. That's so incredibly weak on their part.
   
   Thoughts on Actual Gameplay:
   I know they've improved a few things here and there...but I promise you that I literally couldn't tell a single difference in gameplay between 18 and 19. I'll admit that I don't have the keenest memory of what 18 was like (it's been awhile) and that I also didn't play 19 for very long. Would I have noticed some differences if I had played a lot longer? Probably. But if I didn't notice anything different within the first 5 or so minutes of playing both defense and offense? That's all the time I needed in order to realize it's simply not worth the 60 bucks.
   
   I'm glad I played it safe by renting it at Red Box first before opening up the copy I had just received from Amazon. Now I can return it with peace of mind knowing I only wasted a few bucks instead of 50. I wholeheartedly recommend renting first to anyone else who purchases annual sports games. I can't believe this is the first time I every thought to do that...but I'm sure glad I did.… Expand

   The moves are better when running the ball. Still, on screens the lineman do not block and simply run right past defenders and the QB releaseThe moves are better when running the ball. Still, on screens the lineman do not block and simply run right past defenders and the QB release time is so slow its insane. The QB throws the ball horribly on the 10 yard hitch, if you dont throw it perfetly, the ball flies way over instead of underneath. To be honest madden 19 isnt very great and im a huge fan but it makes me not even wanna play because its still **** up.… Expand

   All they care about is ultimate team and not the gameplay. This is not a simulation game but a game based off of animations.
