Madden NFL 20

Madden NFL 20 is an American football game with several ways to play, including a career campaign built around a created college quarterback. The central goal in Face of the Franchise: QB1 is to reach the NFL Draft and become the face of an NFL franchise, with decisions shaping the career on and off the field.

The QB1 campaign continues after a player is selected by a team. Madden’s Scenario Engine generates personalized playable scenarios, events and dynamic challenges that contribute to the story of that NFL career.
