GEAR UP LIKE THE PROS
First step to play like a pro is to use the equipment the pros use. Look no further than KontrolFreek’s new line of Sports Performance Thumbsticks, specifically designed to maximize Movement Control and Comfort while providing a wider surface area of the industry’s best thumbstick grip material.
The brand-new Clutch thumbsticks provide maximum surface area for all-star grip and control of your player’s movement and accuracy while playing Sports games. The sports ball inspired white knob field design locks into the grooves of your thumb for outstanding friction and comfort.
The Omni thumbsticks upgrade your controller’s grip and comfort to give you elite control and accuracy of your players while playing Sports games. The sports ball inspired orange on white cross hatch design enhances any thumbsticks for more comfort and friction with some eye-catching style.
In addition to our game-changing sports thumbsticks, we suggest outfitting your favorite controller with a pair of KontrolFreek Performance Grips (in the color of your choice, of course) to reduce slippage when you're running interference or working toward a field goal. They provide superior grip and comfort, and they stick to your controller without leaving any sort of sticky residue, while wicking moisture away.

WHAT’S NEW TO MADDEN 24
FRANCHISE MODE
Fans of Madden’s most in-depth single player mode will rejoice this year. EA has finally given Franchise Mode some love. They updated relocations, uniforms, coach and commissioner tools, and provided so many other accessibility and customization options for complete control over the difficulty, randomness, and scale of your franchise adventure.
SUPERSTAR MODE
Superstar mode is the newest version of Madden’s storyline adventures that let you focus on a single player. Last year, this mode was called “Face of the Franchise”, and it was very different from this mode in previous games, which is okay to try something new, but Superstar Mode brings back a lot of the fan favorite aspects of this game mode like combine drills.
CROSSPLAY
Multiplayer games in 2023 need to have crossplay. Too many gaming friends have been lost to switching consoles and moving to PC. Now you can play with all your friends on any console over the internet via crossplay!
MINI GAMES
One of our favorite parts of Franchise mode has always been the mini games that you can play in the mini camp. Now you can play these games outside of Franchise mode. You can run classic drills and new games to your heart's content to improve your skills!
CATCHING IN STRIDE
The first thing we noticed when playing Madden 24 is how much more seamless pass receptions felt, especially when the receiver is actively running a route. They used to slow up or bobble the ball too often, but now they will do these cool spin moves to turn and catch a ball behind them all in stride.
Winning on the field often comes down to having the right equipment and this is no less true when you are playing on your couch or gaming chair at home. Upgrade your controller with KontrolFreek Performance Thumbsticks and KontrolFreek Performance Grips to give yourself the best advantage over your opponents in Madden 24!
