That all changes in Madden NFL 26, which has harnessed some of the best elements of EA Sports College Football 26, while adding its own signature features to leave us with the best, most complete, and most fun Madden in years. If you’ve been waiting for significant improvements to shell out your hard-earned money, well, this one is it.

On the field of play, it looks better than ever, which is no surprise, and although there's plenty of weird limb and funny collision moments going on thanks to the fancy new physics model, it plays a better game than last year, and you can feel that immediately.
