Madden NFL 20 features a new “personalized career campaign” known as Face of the Franchise: QB1, following the journey of a player-created college quarterback from their participation in the College Football Playoff, to being drafted by an NFL team. Ten licensed college teams  are available in this mode.

The mode acts as an updated version of the “Superstar Mode”, where the player would take their custom player and control them throughout a career. 

Our narrative team created the story mode several components within the experience.  I learned a lot again but for me this game ended a 4 year run with the EA team.  I’m extremely grateful for the incredible experience working with some of the smartest and most creative people I have ever met.
