Madden NFL 23: everything we know right now

2022-08-22 09:46

As the 2022-23 NFL regular season approaches, that can only mean one thing: a new Madden game is here. Madden NFL 23 is now live and available to fans who can dominate the NFL field with their favorite players and teams. But with each release, a question arises: what's new in this year's edition?

The marquee feature added to the game, called FieldSENSE, is designed to give players more control at every position gang stealing, rushing to the quarterback, covering the perimeter, better offensive line blocking, and more. This is a feature built into all game modes. Quarterbacks also have skill-based passing, which operates like a pitcher in MLB: The Show.

In franchise mode, the scouting and free agency functions have also been revived. Scouting players provide more detailed information than surface ratings, as are signing free agents. Lineup depth, starting quarterbacks, state income taxes, and other factors all come into play, so teams trying to lure free agents to California may need you to pay more to complete a deal.

Unfortunately, Madden NFL 23 doesn't have cross-platform functionality, just like in years past. You can only play games with friends who are on the same console or platform as you. It could be in a future Madden game, though, as EA Sports will be cross-playing in FIFA 23, which has a release date set for September 27.

Yes, if users pre-order the game, they will receive a bonus involving the ultimate team game mode. These rewards include the right to choose two elite-level Ultimate Team players, one for offense and one for defense, All-Madden Gear for their players and a "Madden Strategy Item" to assist in calling the match.
