At EA Play today, EA revealed a new campaign mode for Madden NFL 18 called Longshot.

Taking cues from shows like Friday Night Lights, the mode follows a young football player as he rises through the ranks, and stars Moonlight and Luke Cage actor Mahershala Ali.

Madden NFL 18 is the first in the series to use EA’s ubiquitous Frostbite engine and will launch on August 25. This year, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is the cover athlete.
