New Features3 of 3Persona EngineAvailable in franchise mode, this feature brings personality to each player. Tackle StickThe hit stick was introduced to the Madden franchise in the 2005 edition of the game, appropriately featuring cover athlete Ray Lewis. Now players can choose from a variety of tackles, including wrap and lunge options. Timing MattersPlayers who have perfected Madden over the years will benefit from the new timing-based catches feature. Longtime players who can maneuver the controller and perfectly time up catches, both offensively and defensively, will consistently complete catches at a greater clip.
