Developed by Tiburon · Published by Electronic Arts





This American football simulation centers on NFL teams and seasons. In Franchise, you run the league and manage a roster, while players’ distinct personalities influence their motivations, demands, and reactions to your decisions.
On the field, call plays and adjust your team before the snap. Receivers and defenders jostle for position, contested catches use timing-based controls, and short-yardage plays include a Tush Push mechanic. Coverage systems let defenses respond as plays develop.
In Superstar, guide a player from high school through a career toward the Hall of Fame, developing skills and making career choices across playable positions. Ultimate Team lets you customize your roster with Captains. Dynamic weather and changing field conditions can affect movement, stamina, and ball security.
The supplied reviews are largely critical, with recurring complaints about crashes, bugs, blocking and other on-field behavior, online connection requirements, and monetization. A smaller number of favorable reviews point to Franchise additions, including roster and contract management, as well as the catch and quarterback-sneak mechanics and presentation details. Some players also report enjoying the football gameplay, though that view is not shared across the sample.
