Features

  • QB DNA leverages real QB play calls and game situations over nearly a decade to deliver unique, player-specific pocket behaviors, signature throwing motions, and distinct scrambling styles that match real on-field movement of star NFL quarterbacks.
  • Burst upfield like Cover Athlete Saquon Barkley with updated player movement to reflect the explosive athleticism only the NFL can deliver. Physics-based interactions now include catch tackles, stiff-arms, and trucks for improved collision control.
  • Control your pass-coverage depth with new custom zones, and perfect your pass rush strategy with new stunts and twist options at the line.
  • Coaches make decisions based on their actual philosophies, backed by nearly a decade of NFL data. Experience real coaching styles like Dan Campbell's fourth-down aggression, Kevin O'Connell's creative offensive approach, and more, adding new layers of strategy to every matchup. 
  • Dynamic coach suggestions provide play recommendations based on what your team’s coach would dial up in specific game situations. And new multi-player counters offer smart recommendations against opponent tendencies, making it harder for them to succeed with repetitive tactics.
  • Modernized depth charts, new positional roles, and the Wear & Tear system add strategy and experimentation to roster management and game-planning.
  • Build your dream football team with NFL Legends and current stars, then compete online with the best. New dynamic MUT Events will test your skill in fun and interesting ways, Pack Helper provides a simple way to manage player items, and smaller Leaderboard Campaigns increase competition for both solo and head-to-head play.
  • Celebrate your favorite NFL franchise while earning team-specific rewards in online modes across the game, with new drops each season so you can always rep your team with fresh looks.
