![]() ![]() ![]() Adding the feature would make PC gamers feel more welcome to the series. Given the complexity of the controls I can almost understand why, but re-mappable controls are essentially table stakes on computers. Making matters worse, Madden 19 doesn’t let you re-map the keyboard controls. ![]() EA also gets bonus points for letting the scroll wheel change camera angles, too. It takes a bit of practice to wrap your head around the scheme, but once you do, the virtual thumbsticks emulate the range of movement and pressure-sensitive speed of physical joysticks pretty effectively. (Think of a safety creeping toward the line of scrimmage pre-snap.) Move the mouse farther and players pick up speed. When you slowly move the mouse just a little bit, the player you’re controlling saunters in the same direction. It appears as a small circle in the right corner of the screen, with an arrow inside pointing toward a direction. WASD controls can’t mimic the pressure-sensitive nuance of a controller’s thumbsticks, so rather than tying movement to the keyboard, Madden 19 includes a “virtual thumbstick” managed by your mouse. The keyboard and mouse controls hold up surprisingly well after a bit of practice. You can see the virtual thumbstick to the right of the quarterback in this image. Madden 18 suffered from some frame rate issues on the consoles, but Madden 19 on modern PC hardware doesn’t whatsoever. Yes, I said 4K resolution and 90 frames per second. I’ve been playing at 4K resolution on an AMD Ryzen 1800X ($240 on Amazon) and an EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC2 ($750 on Amazon) and the frame rate usually hovers around 90 fps during on the field action. That level of hardware will match the console experience, EA says, though like with most PC games, ramping up the horsepower can push the game even further. CPU: Core i3-4350, FX-4330, or equivalentĮA’s recommended specs are largely similar, but boost the GPU requirements to the equivalent of a GeForce GTX 670 or Radeon R9 270X.GPU: GeForce GTX 660, Radeon RX 460, or equivalent.Let’s start with the good news: Madden 19’s modest system requirements mean it should play just fine on most gaming PCs capable of playing new AAA games. ![]()
