Seems like M19 and future iterations are going to push more and more into eSports, and away from franchise modes and single player modes. There will be new features like Long Shot was, which is just to grab casuals, and turn them into MUT players.

EA's own corporate direction is stressing more MUT and eSports for all their sporting titles, even non-sporting titles. From a gameplay perspective, that means Madden will be built around things that help the competitive community, and away from the simulation community. There'll be less "Football" aspects in the game, and more "eSports" aspects. Adjustments, interplay between blitzing and blocking, ball-carrying features, passing and catching dynamics. Attack and counter-attack, built-in button configurations, and so on.
