What is Superstar Mode in Madden 24?

Superstar Mode is Madden 24’s career mode. The Madden development team listened to feedback from the community to deliver a mode with “NFL football as its core, gameplay as the focus of the mode and deep progression.”

Thus, EA decided to bring back Superstar Mode, a feature from the Madden titles in the mid-2000s.

Players will begin their career at the NFL Combine. Madden owners can choose to be a QB, HB, WR, LB, or CB, modify height and weight that affects the archetype, and go through the “modernized” Combine process that includes mini-games that are position-specific, as well as the 40-man dash.

Additionally, individuals will be able to answer interview questions. Those, as well as the NFL Combine, will influence draft position.

Once a player turns pro, individuals will be able to “live the life” of an NFL superstar. This mode will include a social media that will give reactions to performances, the ability to unlock endorsements, and the ability to customize and make use of special celebrations.
