In this Madden 26 Superstar Guide for Beginners, we’ll go over everything you need to know to get started in this player-based career mode. Unlike Franchise, Superstar sees you controlling one character and living out their Pro Career. Throughout your NFL journey, you’ll need to play well, manage your health, and build relationships with various people. Without further ado, let’s dive right in.
Overall, this Madden 26 Superstar Guide will explain everything regarding:
