Madden NFL 20 is a football simulation developed by EA Orlando and released in 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The game centers on two headline features: Face of the Franchise: QB1, a career mode in which the player guides a quarterback from college football through the NFL, with decisions shaping the path to stardom; and Superstar X-Factor, an abilities progression system tied to real-world NFL players. Superstar X-Factor assigns special abilities to the league's most prominent athletes, adding a strategic layer to individual matchups and raising the stakes of player selection and game planning. The combination of a narrative-driven single-player career alongside an overhauled player-ability framework represents the primary changes from earlier entries in the long-running Madden series.
