The great and wonderful show of Madden season is in full swing, and the virtual playing field was a week completely free for Xbox One users. From Thursday, October 19th (depending on local time) and until Sunday, October 22 (depending on local time), you could enjoy the best Madden NFL game developed to date.

All Xbox gamers had a chance to test offline features of the latest installment of this historic saga, including Longshot, the first story mode on the Madden NFL career, where your decisions will help Devin Wade fulfill his dream of joining to the NFL lineup.

Xbox Live Gold members were able to:

- Team up with your friends to play Madden Ultimate Team Squads online, in 3 vs. 3.
- You can also relive some of the weekly NFL games with Madden 18's Play Now Live feature (this feature allows you to use live updates of the latest lineups, custom comments and statistics available at NFL.com).

During this free trial weekend, Madden NFL 18 was on sale with a 33% discount. In case the players decided to buy the game, all the advances and achievements that you obtain in the trial version were saved; so if you were in that test, get your copy and find out if you have what it takes to dominate the field! In the mean time, Madden 18 Coins are on sale for the whole week.

In addition to the Madden 18 trial version, this weekend marked the start of the first face-to-face championship of Madden's competitive series, where four contenders will face each other in four challenging events and only one will be crowned the champion of Madden 18. There will be a lot at stake, as the prize pool reaches $ 100,000.00 USD.
