Play This Year's First-Round Rookies In Madden NFL 16
The 2016 NFL Draft is underway, and whether you're a Rams fans salivating at getting first overall pick Jared Goff or looking to crush receivers with Jalen Ramsey, you can play with these newly minted rookies in Madden NFL 16's Ultimate Team mode.
As in previous years, you can play with this year's first-round picks in Madden 16's Ultimate Team mode (EA Tiburon will be posting the players' ratings soon here) via elite and gold versions.
I wonder if developer EA Tiburon will create a special Gas Mask version for Miami's Laremy Tunsil...
In other Madden Ultimate Team mode news, developer EA Tiburon has started a beta for a Salary Cap Ranked mode within Ultimate Team (for Xbox One and PS4). As it sounds, the mode sets up a salary cap when selecting players from your binder. Publisher EA Sports has also announced a Madden Championship tournament using Salary Cap Ranked in Madden Ultimate Team with a $50,000 prize.
Finally, if you haven't played Madden 16, you can play the full game for free on Xbox One and PS4 (with an EA account. Also requires a Live Gold membership on Xbox One). The trial lasts until May 2 (at 11:59pm ET). You can also download the game during this time for $19.80. For more info, head here.
Here's a look at this year's top five first-round picks.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
