Prepare yourself, sports gaming fans, for the arrival of the latest iteration of the beloved football franchise - Madden NFL 24.
This year, the Electronic Arts-produced game promises not just significant enhancements in gameplay, but a leap towards heightened realism, a roster of new modes, and an element that has had gamers on the edge of their seats for years - cross-play.
The excitement surrounding Madden 24 is palpable, with pre-orders live and the buzz building. The most anticipated feature? The introduction of cross-play across platforms, a long-awaited addition that will allow players on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC to challenge opponents on other platforms in Ultimate Team, Head to Head, and a brand-new mode known as Superstar Showdown. This evolution of The Yard promises a fast-paced, avatar-based gaming experience that's perfect for quick gaming sessions with friends.
However, there's a minor hitch in this grand plan - Franchise players won't be able to enjoy the benefits of cross-play just yet. But there's no need to worry, as the folks at EA Tiburon have confirmed that they are actively working on integrating cross-play for Franchise mode, hopefully before Madden NFL 25 launches. It's an exciting prospect that promises to make recruiting for league play significantly easier, offering players a host of additional benefits.
