After a long off-season since that epic Super Bowl game back in February, NFL is finally back with a bang - and with it comes the annual return of the Madden video game.

Madden 19 promises to be better than ever and in the latest instalment, players can now play at Wembley, where games are held at least once a season, as well as all 32 official NFL venues.

There is also the chance to live life as an NFL pro player through the eyes of Devin Wade and Colt Cruise in Longshot: Homecoming, which continues Madden's first-ever story mode.

This year's cover star is Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, while those fans who want to treat themselves to the Madden NFL 19 Hall of Fame Edition will see the legendary Terrell Owens on the cover.

The special edition, which includes various in-game rewards and unlockables, is available to purchase for £79.99.

Ultimate team

Following on from the success of the FIFA franchise's Ultimate Team game mode, Madden fans will receive their choice of player to start with in Madden Ultimate Team (MUT) from Terrell Owens, Brian Urlacher, Rod Woodson, Dan Marino or Terrell Davis.

Players also receive one Training Pack, 12 Gold Team Fantasy Packs and two Custom Uniforms in MUT.

New features

Real player motion is one of the most important changes from last year. Players will be more realistic in their movements and will be able to carry the ball better than before, preventing one too many fumbles.​

The tactical side of the game has also had a revamp, while the Draft system has been overhauled to allow you to display which player you are selecting. These are minimal improvements but important nonetheless.

How to download

​The game will be available on PS4, Xbox One and Origin (PC) from Friday, August 10.
