New Gameplay

New Play Call (RPOs)

Introducing RPOs (Run/Pass Options), the offensive scheme taking the NFL by storm. Madden NFL 20 features three RPOs: Alerts, Peeks, and Reads. The playbook includes hundreds of RPOs to practice and master.

Signature Abilities (X-Factors & Superstar Abilities)

Signature Abilities highlight an athlete's unique skills. There are two types: Zone and Superstar. Zone abilities unlock when a player enters the "Zone" by completing an in-game objective. Superstar abilities are always active, and players can have multiple attached.

Additional Gameplay Changes

Streamlined pre-play, post-play, and No-Huddle create a faster experience. Pass rushes are more balanced and intense, with limited time in the pocket for QBs. Defensive backs can perform athletic jumping interceptions, while linebackers and defensive linemen have improved animations. Multiple defenders can join tackle animations, and players get up faster after being tackled. Transitions are polished for responsiveness and user-friendliness.
