This really isn't an important question for end-users speaking to gameplay. Madden has been Madden for basically this entire console generation, so it's iteratively improved every year as most AAA sports games are these days. That said:

Frostbite is immediately and obviously the more impressive graphics tech. Ignite, as far as I know, never delivered 4K or HDR. Those only made it into Madden in Madden 18, which coincided with the release of the PS4 Pro, XBOX One X, and the game's transition to Frostbite. In addition to more impressive lighting and shading, the game environment geometry is much more detailed now. This admittedly is mostly limited to stadium exterior shots and story mode cutscenes.

As far as the game itself goes, Frostbite allowed Madden to get onto PC, whereas no Ignite Madden game ever got that far. That's another obvious victory.
