Madden has been out of my life for the past three years now.. And guess what?? I don't miss it.*

Spot on article. This right here

*it wouldn’t be at all surprising to see some franchise players walk away from*Madden*completely now*
Is especially true. I have always played franchise from release to release and I walked away in December or January. There's just nothing there that should be there in a modern football franchise mode to keep me engaged.

Agree with Kache. I used to buy every Madden at launch, but now I just play the 10 hour trial via Game Pass/EA Play and that's it. They need to go back to a**real-time physics engine instead of the animation based crap. It's amazing to me that the old Xbox/PS2 games still play better and it's been almost two decades now.*

Yea I don’t think I’ve spent any money a new madden game since ‘19. Thank god for gamepass is all I’ll say. Don’t see myself shelling out $70 anymore for this bare bones game*

Madden 23 updates will include:

- new locker rooms for scenario cut screens
- new and improved generic faces drawn by producer's 8- y/o nephew
- all new and improved Long shot mode that no one cares about.
- be a ref mode so that you can now play as your favorite referee
- enhance your stadium by updating box seats, bathrooms, and concessions (things you'll never see in the game)
- create a team (that can only be used for 'play now')
- new accessories for coaches, including hats and glasses
- improved AI logic for when all new cut scenes spring into action
-customizable FG nets

Be sure to catch up on these updates in our summer deep dives.

But in all seriousness, this is a great article. If I were associated w/ EA I would feel absolutely embarrassed by what has transpired. Once again they messed up, got called out for messing up and instead of owning it, they just tried to throw something together thinking they would save face.
