Following in the footsteps of FIFA 18, this year's Madden NFL 18 will feature a story mode called Longshot. It stars the acting of Mahershala Ali from House of Cards fame and Scott Porter from the American football TV series Friday Night Lights. 

On the official website, publisher EA had this to say: "After three years away from the game, play as former five-star high school quarterback, Devin Wade, as he takes one last shot to hear his name called on NFL Draft day."
