Madden NFL 16 is the latest installment in the football series boasting gameplay and feature innovations, while delivering everything fans need to own their rivals on both sides of the field.

Be the playmaker in Madden NFL 16 with all-new controls that allow you to dominate in the battle for air supremacy.

Combined with a new risk/reward catch and pass-defend system, get ready for the biggest WOW moments in franchise history.

In addition to new songs from The Weeknd, Yelawolf and Blackberry Smoke, the soundtrack also features world-premieres from new artists Brooke Candy, Jimi Charles Moody, LunchMoney Lewis, Robert DeLong and Youngblood Hawke.

“For the last few years, our Madden soundtracks focused on recreating the stadium experience,” explains Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing for EA. “But with Madden NFL 16, we’ve now returned to our roots for introducing new artists and new music. This soundtrack is truly one of our most adventurous, and one we think fans will enjoy the mix of genres and artists we’ve included.  Once again, ‘Madden Music’ will define the sound of the upcoming season.”
