Game is out on EA Play so opening up.

Player models are terrible and a joke. All the running backs have their body sliders set to max so they all are built like Derrick Henry. They got incredibly lazy with Last-Gen.

This isn't my impression, but it's one I saw/heard on youtube from a guy who has the trial. He said defense is better than last year, and that the gameplay is more tight and smooth. Says it doesn't feel too different, but is improved, especially the defense. He liked the new body types as well. He also said you have to be more deliberate with your passing, knowing when to throw a bullet vs lob, as apparently the throw type is more important than it was last year. I've decided I'm going to get it, considering I don't know when or if I'll get a PS5, so I might as well have one last Madden to enjoy.

Yeah I'm assuming that's a bug as body types will change mid play.

Playing on PC and I'm not impressed.

Only thing I've enjoyed for the "price" is the new player tags/motivations, contracts pre-built terms, free agency evaluations and the face of the franchise (early on game play at least).

Not getting any gameplay improvements, such as replays, player movements, momentum, etc for a 3rd year in a row is ridiculous. And the fact that they are charging the "standard" last Gen price of $59.99 USD is blatant disrespect.

Just charge $30 and let modders get the PC version were it needs to be.

I truly feel bad for the last Gen console players that can't financially afford or find a console!

Played only a game and a half on PC (Via trial). Defense appears improved out of the box imo. Better camera transition from big plays to celebrations. Runs smoother than 22 on my PC. Not overly impressed thus far though I'm early in. Can't say it's worth $60 right now if you have 22' as it seems like very little was done to improve it at first glance...I will certainly use up my 10 hours before making a final decision..
