The devs gave players more flexibility and improved trade realism to resolve that issue. The amount of trade slots in Madden 24 doubles from three to six, and players can trade up to six draft picks.
To ensure that players don’t abuse the ability to trade more assets, Madden 24 improved trade tuning to cut down on inconsistencies of player values.
Madden 24 draft additions
EA emphasized: “Making our generated draft classes more unique and more fun.” Players will be able to edit the strength of each position in the draft and add new variations to draft prospects. Generational prospects are the best prospects to appear in Madden history.
The devs also added more 99 Club prospects, including top-end running backs, wide receivers, guards, and linebackers. Utility prospects that can play multiple positions and injury-prone prospects add an extra level of risk and reward to the process.
