The Madden NFL 24 closed beta went live today at noon ET on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms. If you signed up for the "opportunity" EA advertised a while back, there's a chance you have a beta code in the email account associated with your EA persona. Codes are going out in waves so keep checking your email, or keep an eye out for giveaways on social media from MUT accounts like @EASports_MUT and @MUTdotGG. We might have a different way to win a code at the end of this article too. 😏
One important call out by the EA Development Team is the fact there are 500 new plays coming to Madden NFL 24! More information will be coming in a future Gameplay Deep Dive article but if you want a sneak peek at a few, they recommend checking out the NFC North, NFC South, NFC East, Chargers, Chiefs, Colts, and Seahawks playbooks.
