With the games release just two days away—if you paid for the Deluxe Edition of the game—, EA Sports has released a full, deep look at gameplay for Madden 26.
The gameplay, which you can see below, gives a look at the game’s new presentation look as well as updated weather, including snowy whiteout conditions.
In addition to weather and presentation changes, EA Sports is touting a number of improvements on the field this year. Some of the gameplay improvements include in-game coaching adjustments, wear and tear, stunts and twists, more realistic throwing motions and more.
“Gameplay in Madden NFL 26 is all about bringing you closer to the NFL, while providing ultimate control and performance on the sticks, EA Said. “We’re powering our playcall AI with years of NFL-coaching data that will make our gameplay smarter and more rewarding.
“We’re expanding and replicating signature styles of NFL players and coaches that you can see and feel. Not only that, our team is continuing to focus on the fundamentals of the sport for more depth and gameplay balance.”
Madden 26 is available starting August 7 for Deluxe Edition owners. Those with the Standard Edition of the game have to wait until August 14.
The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. The game’s Switch 2 release marks the first time since Madden 13 back in 2012 that Madden will appear on a Nintendo console.
