What Is Controlled Player Art Madden 24?

Controlled player art Madden 24 is another name for Player Lock. This feature lets you focus only on one player and let the AI do the rest.

When you play Franchise mode, you are generally given control of your entire team. But, if you want to unload that burden and go forward with only one player, the Player Lock feature is an excellent choice.

You will be responsible for making the play for one specific player while the AI handles the rest of your team.

Here is how you can enable this feature:

  1. From the main menu, choose Franchise > Create a new league.
  2. Select your roster choice, choose your team, and the player you want to control.
  3. Choose Change Role and pick your player. Choose the active player from the list.
  4. Pick the start playing option.
  5. Then tap R1 on PlayStation or RB on Xbox to open options.
  6. Select Franchise Settings > League Settings.
  7. Navigate to League Type Settings and find Full On-Field Control.
  8. Turn the setting off.

Madden 24 Controlled Player Art In Superstar Mode

Madden 24 controlled art in Franchise Mode lets you control a particular player. This attribute will give away the Superstar mode vibes.

One way to enjoy your franchise mode with less stress is by managing a particular talent and letting AI do the rest of the work.

On the other hand, some enjoy taking control of every aspect upfront. They are the energetic bunch who want to have the best experience possible.

Such enthusiasts can use the player lock option in franchise mode and get the Superstar mode-like feel.

Xbox users can press LS twice, while PlayStation owners need to press L3 twice to activate the player lock feature.

Suppose you are done throwing the ball to your Wide Receiver and now controlling the player. At that moment, you can use the player lock mode and get a realistic Superstar-mode experience by being in sole control of the WR.

The game will change the camera angles, and you will be taken up close to the WR.

To exit the mode, you can press the same buttons you pressed to enter the mode.

Madden 24 Superstar Mode Positions

Madden 24 Superstar mode positions are Quarterback, Wide Receiver, Running Back, Cornerback, and Linebacker. You start from a Rookie at the Combine.

The Superstar mode replaces the Face of the Franchise. It allows you to create a customized player at any of the aforementioned positions and help him journey the professional footballer life.

This mode is returning after 10 years. Last time, gamers experienced the new mode in Madden NFL 25, celebrating the game series’s Silver Jubilee (25 years).

Once you are ready to start your career mode as a player in Madden 24, you will need to choose one of the five positions.

Wide Receivers are the most exciting yet the most difficult position to master. Playing as a Running Back can combine rushing and receiving gameplay.

Likewise, you can choose QB for a traditional approach where you call the play and throw passes or rush it yourself.

You must remember that you can only create one Superstar for a position. You can switch between five different superstar careers at five positions.

But, if you wish to have a new career, you must erase the previous career of that position.

Player build

You get three builds while starting the Superstar mode. They are:

  • Bruiser: Bigger player difficult for defenders to take down, but has less speed and lower agility
  • Balanced: A decent mixture of strength, speed, and agility
  • Agile: Smaller body frame with high speed and great flexibility

So, if you are playing as a WR, you may opt for speed and agility and lean towards Agile build. It is also suitable for CB.

Likewise, you may opt for Bruiser if you start as a linebacker. You will need strength to tear the offensive line.

A balanced build can be helpful for RB and QB. You can choose Agile for QB if you want to develop a rushing signal caller.

After creating your player, you will be on your ‘Path to NFL.’ Your first obstacle or opportunity will be the NFL Combine, where you will do position-specific drills and answer interview questions.

Your individual record at the combine will determine your draft value.
