About Madden NFL 96

Madden NFL 96 is a football simulation based on the 1995 NFL season. Players can engage in various modes, from single exhibition matches to a complete season or playoff bracket, using the official teams from that year or special all-star rosters.

The game incorporates several systems for team management and on-field play. A team match-up feature provides a positional comparison of players against the opposing lineup. Strategic elements include new play designs and the retention of a windowless passing mechanic. Environmental conditions and a wide array of potential player injuries remain factors during games.

Notable additions for this installment involve audio commentary and expanded roster control. Users have the ability to generate new athletes and participate in a drafting process to see if those created players are selected by teams.
