Superstar Mode has always been one of my favorite features in the Madden series, so I’m thrilled to see it return in Madden 24. It lets diehard football fans make a character and watch them grow from zero to hero in their journey to becoming an NFL MVP.

Like most football stars in real life, the first step in that journey starts at the NFL Combine, a week-long event that happens every year where college players perform a series of physical and mental tests in front of coaches and scouts to showcase their skills and prove their worth.
In previous Madden titles that had Superstar Mode, one of the tests was an IQ test. But in Madden 24, it has been replaced with another one that tests your knowledge of the history of the NFL and the Madden series.
There are 60 questions in total, but the panel will select 10.
If you’d rather not waste too much brain power on the questions so you can pass the test and jump right into the action on your quest to become the best or zippiest quarterback, the most creative wide receiver, or the slipperiest running back, I’ve compiled a list of all the questions and their corresponding answers.
