Back in June EA Sports made the announcement that for the first time ever, the Madden franchise would finally be introducing a story mode titled "Longshot." Much like FIFA's newly introduced story mode, Longshot follows the journey of a young talented football player looking to crack the squad of an NFL roster.

EA Sports also revealed that the mode would feature Mahershala Ali (House of Cards), as well as former NFL running back JR Lemon in major roles alongside Dan Marino who plays the role of the protagonist's mentor. Last week EA Sports invited a number of YouTubers to play and capture their experience with the game, providing us all with a sneak-peek at what the mode will look like. Here's a full reveal of the first 10 minutes of the mode.

Interactive cut-scenes, dialogue options and the ability to choose your character's story arc...you can count us in so far. To check out more gameplay from the longshot, checkout AntoDaBoss' YouTube channel, or simply wait until Madden 18 officially launches on August 25th.
