Madden NFL 24 is now out on the PS4 and PS5 alongside Xbox and PC. The game is a minor upgrade over last year's Madden NFL 23 and brings slightly better graphics and more customization options for football lovers. The title is dropping just before the NFL season kicks off later this fall. Unlike last year's version of the game, NFL 2024 features many more customizable settings and sliders.
Bundled with EA's FieldSENSE and improved visual fidelity, the game should excite American football enthusiasts. In addition, Xbox gamers can play the title at up to 120 FPS, although others on a PlayStation are limited to 60 FPS.

In terms of graphics options, players can choose between Performance (1440p 60 FPS) and Quality modes (4K 30 FPS). Regardless of which mode you choose, there are some noticeable stutters and frame drops on the PS5. Thus, we recommend the 60 FPS mode in the game.
