EA: no “current plans” for Madden 19 on Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 0 comments
FIFA 19 is coming to Nintendo Switch, but what about one of EA’s other flagship sports titles, Madden? Madden 19 was announced at EA’s press conference, but only for other platforms. Gamespot talked to the game’s producer, Ben Haumiller, and asked him about a possible Switch version of Madden. Here’s what he had to say:
“We always think about every platform out there. It’s really a decision of what’s best for Madden and us as EA and where we’re going. You never rule out getting your game in front of players. You want to go where everyone is. We’d never rule it out. We just don’t have any current plans right now.”
So there you have it. No clear reason was given why Madden 19 isn’t on Switch, but EA isn’t categorically ruling it out for the future.

FIFA 18 was the first time EA had its soccer franchise on a Nintendo platform in several years. Despite being a solid effort in some ways, there were some notable and surprising omissions such as the inability to play with friends online.
With FIFA 19, EA has addressed this. The Switch version is playable at EA Play, and Press Start reports that you can play your friends in full best of five online friendlies.
