Madden 20: 7 Rumours You Need To Know

2. Superstar Driven Play Calling

Picture this: new Browns WR Beckham Jr sprints off into a go route, only pausing to pull off a quick double move that fools his old teammates on the Giants side and enables QB Baker Mayfield to throw a bomb down field. At the same time, RB Kareem Hunt (who, granted, can't play for eight games) pulls another few defensemen away from the action.

That is 'Superstar Driven Play Calling', a system designed to make sure the best players are more involved.

Anyone who played a few games of Madden 19 will recall hearing Brandon Gaudin and Charles Davis talking on commentary about each match-up's MVPs. Then, those players would barely touch the ball, thus rendering their superstar muscle meaningless. It's a good thing if EA are taking steps to fix this.

The NFL is powered by its top names. They're the difference makers, the ones who make each individual team tick, and they deserve more credence than they've been getting over the past few games. A new play calling system would re-legitimise their importance during each pass or run play you choose.
