The sideline looks still so empty and generic..sad sad....if I would perform like this on work year after year my job wouldn`t be my job anymore, I think the EA CEO has a quite minute where he scrolls through the net and sees this reviews, shouldn`t that ring a bell soon?? Well EA you screwed it up once more with this series, I know one purchase less you do not care, but hey...… Expand

This is comparable to putting piss on a turd and then calling it your "golden child"...
   
   Attention to Detail: 0/5: It's just not there, it's missing a deep passion that members of the community could do better than the Developers themselves. Multiple NFL Stars are missing facescans, player mugshots are not there, NFL rosters aren't updated, aesthetic visuals are not updated - political messaging from what was left in the forced-diversity politics in which EA wanted to put in my games from last year of 2020 are still in the game. Phrases like "End Racism" are still on the back of players helmets when they aren't now as of the late 2021 NFL Season, which just goes to show they just copied and pasted the player models instead of updating them. Player tattoos are still not allowed, Equipment was hanged out, left to dry with only receiving maybe two additions at best. You can tell when certain stadiums get the EA treatment over others, some still have the exact same textures when a team is on the low, but if a team like the Bears for certain gets a new popular QB, the stadium will only be slightly updated with better textures. Lighting is even worse than 21's, there is no Dynamic Weather Events despite EA claiming 22 has "dynamic gameplay", immersion doesn't feel any better than it did last year. They tried to do it with the Home Advantage system, however I feel like that's just a cheap copout to enforce more DDA within the game's system if gamers aren't paying attention. The same panoramic shots of the field happen, there is no variety to it. The UI for scoreboards is only slightly changed when you score a TD which is cool but then you would have to think about how late EA would be considering score presentations were already in the game almost 10+ years ago. No disrespect to Brandon Gaudin and Charles Davis but they've on this game since Madden 17, I've been able to go from High School to College and they're still on this game? Why isn't there more commentators working on this game? Is EA really that greedy? It's annoying to hear the same voices over and over again. I was really hoping for a change, but hope is something that EA corps like to suck out of you for profit.
   
   Functionality: 0/5: I'm always willing to give any brand new game the benefit of the doubt when it launches because bugs are always bound to occur. With this year giving EA even more time to develop their game, there should be absolutely ZERO excuses as to why this game is as broken as it is. On my first night of playing with my friend, we had to stop and restart our game 3 times because of how unplayable it is. This game has multiple game breaking bugs that prevent you from either finishing games or even getting to halftime without some gameplay-stopping glitch occuring in the process. Animation warps still occur, when I say that this game is NOT dependant on motion and physics, I mean it. This game will suck you into so many animation tackles that it ruins any chance of getting YAC plays, or even running the ball. Forget about using any team that doesn't have Escape Artist on the Quarterback, you will get sacked consecutively if you dare to move around or step up in the pocket. WR vs CB/FS/SS logic still isn't there, I played for around 10 hours this week and I found the receivers having a harder time trying to make big body catches, without getting warped into an animation that either gives the DB leverage over the receiver or gives them an automatic interception animation that clips through the receiver. Don't even bother to use TE's this year if they aren't above an 87+ rating, it feels like they are nonexistent giants when you try to throw to them. DB's are somehow still bullying TE's which makes no sense given the size differences. There should no excuse as to why this game is still running 2 different UI's in the background, it slows menu loading times by multiple seconds and makes everything harder to get through. The UI in Franchise is not only confusing but works against itself in the process - you could tell they copied NHL's layout in the past and threw it all together within a couple of months. That's not the dedication and honor that the EA Devs promised sports gamers a year ago.
   
   Please do not buy this game if you are not willing to review it and give it the criticism it deserves. It's abundantly clear that EA is not willing to make generation defying leaps with the hardware that this game is now on, nor are they willing to rebuild this game's engine from the ground up to make everything more versatile and better ran. EA is a stubborn company that will not fire it's bad employees because of how bad they've ran this franchise into the ground. Nobody who's a programmer or designer with a lick of common sense would want to enter it and I don't blame them. 0/10.… Expand

   I'll admit that EA fooled me....again. I really listened to their message that they were rebuilding franchise mode and making the experienceI'll admit that EA fooled me....again. I really listened to their message that they were rebuilding franchise mode and making the experience more playable. The truth is that 98% of this game is exactly the same as Madden 21. They added home-field advantage and added (useless & unlicensed) assistant coaches, but there are no changes to the core game-play and have done absolutely nothing to make the overall game more engaging.
   
   My biggest complaint is still that PS2 era Madden games had a lot more features and game-play depths, so it is hard for me, and many other long-time Madden fans, to understand why we can't have the same game-play depth as 15 years ago.
   
   My Personal Verdict: If you have a Madden game from the past 3-4 years, then please do not buy this game.… Expand
