Overall I'm not as firm in my feelings about Madden 19 as I was last year. Madden 18 had a thesis statement, something that it felt confident in declaring to the gaming world. It was easy to throw myself into that message and find ways to have fun, almost as if Madden itself was cheering me on. Longshot was also an interesting and compelling addition that made it feel like the world was changing a little bit. Now, while the new foundational changes are awesome and it's more fun than ever to play Madden, it almost feels like it isn't enough in comparison. It especially stings that the Longshot sequel feels so unsure of itself, despite its high production values. It's easy enough to recommend Madden 19 to sports fans, but if I'm trying to get someone new started, it feels like last year's game is required reading to get the most out of this year's entry.
In the end, Madden's pride and joy, Ultimate Team, has received the most impactful upgrades while the franchise mode fanbase will still feel as if Madden is still a solid two or three steps behind as they look over at other sports franchise modes.
Outside of the visuals boost, Madden NFL 19 feels more iterative than last year's entry of Madden did. The series' dedicated and interested fans that buy the game yearly and sink hundreds of hours into its game modes shouldn't have any major issues outside of some glitchy menus, but not enough has changed to make Madden NFL 19 a worthy entry for newcomers or casual players who picked it up last year.
Madden NFL 19 is, in pretty much every way, less exciting than its predecessor, at least on a conceptual level. Last year's game had a new engine and a completely new mode to boast. This year's biggest selling point—Real Player Motion—definitely makes running a more viable offensive option. Otherwise, all you're getting is part two of what's becoming an unnecessary trend in EA's sports-related telenovelas and a whole lot of advertising for Madden Ultimate Team. If that doesn't sound good enough for you, then you probably should just skip Madden this year.
If you've played Madden in the last several years, odds are you already know if you'll enjoy Madden NFL 19. That isn't to say the game does nothing new or better over the previous game, but it is very much another iterative game that will make you go, “Yep, that's a Madden.” Whether that's a good thing or not is really up to you.
This game has recaptured the virtual sportsman in me.
Madden ’19 is a dream for football fans.
After giving it a few days, I felt like I understood what Madden 19 was asking of me and that the challenge it posed was one worth growing into, and the game makes a strong and varied appeal to keep trying across its multiple deep modes of play.
Madden NFL 19 is a mixed bag.
For those who decry the annual release cycle as nothing but a roster update, they are not giving enough credit to the locomotion improvements and continuing Longshot story.
On the field it's still a fun game as always, but for the first time in a long time, it feels like little more than a roster update.
Madden NFL 19 is a fantastic entry into the long-running series. The new Player Movement System and air collision system lead to far more fluent gameplay and animation while MUT comes in better than ever. The MUT challenges are enjoyable and offer a great way to start building your team and a new emphasis on training and chemistry allows for more strategy. New or returning, Madden NFL 19 is a must buy for football fans.
Madden 19 is a solid, if occasionally ragged, follow-up to last year's big transition to Frostbite. The improvements to the animation and franchise mode stand out, but Longshot: Homecoming feels like a step back from last year's ambitious introduction. The multitude of interesting but mostly subtle updates ultimately make this an entry that is primarily geared toward hardcore fans of the series.
A game not made for those who don't like football, but the best Madden NFL for those experienced players.

For returning players, Madden NFL 19 does exactly what you'd expect, offering a fantastic rendition of the NFL experience with improved graphics, tweaked modes and other minor improvements. However, if you're not a franchise devotee, 18's introduction of the new engine, full training mode and Longshot's superior first season makes it the better option for newcomers.
This new edition has known improve in many aspects(ways) the last edition with very significant changes in almost all aspects of the title where the fans will find in Madden NFL 19 the best american football's simulator until the date.

Madden NFL 19 is more of an evolution than a revolution then, but what else did anyone expect? It's a refinement of last year's effort with further graphical prowess, more fluidity and a sprinkling of new features. It's just a shame that its Longshot Homecoming mode is such a let-down.
Overall, Madden 19 once again is an incredibly complete package and is among the best sport sims you can play currently. Longshot surprises with a solid (although a bit unbalanced) second effort, MUT, Franchise and gameplay as a whole all received worthwhile additions, changes, and improvements, and together it makes Madden 19 worthy of a buy regardless of what you play it for.
