It is about to be August, and you know what that means: It’s Madden season, baby. Or, for forward-thinking fans who already put up the money, there’s already been a taste of Madden season—and all of this year’s new features.
The game’s official release date is Friday, but EA Access members have had the opportunity to play 10 hours of Madden NFL 20 since Thursday. As for those of us less privy to the perks of membership? We can get a jumpstart on all our run-pass options and no-look passes by pre-ordering the Superstar or Ultimate Superstar editions.
Going the Superstar-to-Ultimate-Superstar route has its merits. Of those, the vast majority are added game-mode bonuses you would either have to grind for or, in a fit of laziness, pay for later. Alternatively, you can have those bonuses and still start grinding early—as those editions grant players access to the game Tuesday.
This year’s gridiron simulator seems to have hit the sweet spot for new features—somewhere between the uninspiring features (or lack thereof) in Madden NFL 19 and what feels like yesteryear’s but is in fact 2006’s, unloved quarterback vision cone.
