    I'd wrather have testicle cancer than play this hit garbage game. Ea doesn't make a game of quality they make a bad game look better but play worse. If you want a good game play the show because it's the only good game they have until the glitches start then it's no fun. EA is a pile of dog **** and will always be a pile of dog ****

    This game has an ungodly amount of issues for a triple A title. You don't even have to talk about the fundamentals of the game before being able to write an essay on the performance issues and bugs. EA should never be allowed to ever develop video games.

    I got this game for free (it's free to play right now), played it for about 4 minutes, and uninstalled.

    Words cannot express how terribly, awfully, horribly bad this game is.

    The controls are absolute garbage.

    The game lacks any type of vision or artistic merit.

    What the hell?! This is totally a lazy rehack of the last 2 years? 3 years? I'm seeing banners of the New Orleans Bills and Philadelphia Cowboys as well as seeing banners for Madden 21 in the background. What an absolute joke of a football game. I'm done buying this garbage, FINALLY, until they fix this **** 0 is a fair score

    When you want to play a game with your favorite athletes on it then when you get in the game and your favorite athletes look worst than what they should. I mean the Miami Dolphins players look nothing like they do in real life. Not even close

    Madden 21 had complaints about it, but that PC port was great. This is a nightmare.

    Performance issues had my RTX 3080 chugging and I had to disable in-game V-Sync just to hit 60fps most of the time. There are moments in the story-mode where, after selecting a dialogue option, the voice clip and subtitles will each reflect different dialogue choices. Yeah, it’s that bad.

    It is obvious that almost no effort went into this port, and it probably never got play tested.

    If this port was the product of MY labor, I’d be embarrassed to have a job.    … Expand

    Madden NFL is a great franchise.
    They keep the good stuff and change every year rosters and tiny other things.
    But if you want a total different game you have to wait a decade. :-)

    If you're looking to purchase Madden 22, I would suggest just finding another sports game to play to fill that void. I recommened NCAA Football Revamped or just any of the old NCAA games at this point.

    Madden is a joke of a franchise and cares nothing for the players other than their money. I'm not going to bother about the feauters that we've lost over the years right now, but the game itself feels horrible to play. Movement is still clunky, the CPU is horrendous, and the amount of uncalled penalties is absurd. Madden is soley survivng off nostalgia at this point, other than that I feel no reasons to buy these games anymore. Please if you haven't bought Madden 22 already then just don't.

    Madden 23, when it comes out it might just be the same things as everything else in the last 10 years EA has put out for the seris, a complete and utter waste of time, money and resources. EA has done nothing to push this franchise any further but instead just gives us stupid gimmicks as stat+ or whatever its called. Somehow on consoles and computers that give us Witcher 3, Dark souls 3, Breathe of the Wild, GTA 5, DOOM, and Final Fantasy, we in Madden can't even get referees on the field or a actual half-time show in the game.

    Please just stop buying this franchise, hopefully it will die and some other company can buy the NFL contract off of Ea and try to make a borderline okay triple a football game.    … Expand

    The exact same rehashed garbage as the past 10 years of Madden. Skip this one.

    Graphics: 6/10. It's not terrible but I expect better from a company like EA. Gameplay: 1/10. Very minimal improvements from the past few years but still a buggy mess and not that enjoyable.

    EA have made the strongest argument in favor piracy to try before you buy with this pile of hot garbage. Madden 22 is another low effort release from a company that has a far too comfortable monopoly on the franchise and knows fans will pay for any old crap in the absence of any competition.

    The PC release is nothing more than a mod on Madden 21. There's none of the new features or even visual improvements advertised - these are all reserved for next gen consoles. The idea that only next gen consoles can handle the advanced features is laughable and frankly, just plain lazy. The only thing PC shares with next gen consoles is a ridiculous amount of bugs.

    Madden 22 on PC is not a game. This is is a bad mod at best. Don't give EA your money for this hot trash. They are literally laughing at customers with this dog ****    … Expand

    Absolute worst game I have ever played, I was kicked out to the menu, and now my controls have been remapped, and there is no way to remap them. When loading into the game it thinks that there are two controllers connected when there is only one, this glitch combined with the remapped controls makes the game literally unplayable. Do not buy this game.

    Another year another raging tire fire of a football game is trotted out by EA for 60+ dollars. Glitch galore, zero improvements, on field animations has taken a step back and franchises "improvements" are lack luster at best. But good news is MUT is still shoved down your throat at every chance.

    It's pretty. However it's the same crap gameplay and announcing as last year. And the year before. And the year before that. Do they take players feedback into account, like at all? I hope that someday soon the NFL stops this exclusivity cause EA sucks at making football games. Give me back some NFL 2k ASAP. EA, you suck!

    Madden 22 takes some leaps in certain modes such as Franchise, but takes some gigantic steps backward or maintains inconsistent levels of gameplay in others. While Face of the Franchise loses much of its “underdog story” vibe, Franchise has taken steps forward, while for every MUT improvement, there’s a new on-the-field annoyance. Another year stuck in place, then, but there’s still fun to be had for those looking to score plenty of in-game touchdowns – just don’t expect any huge yardage gains for the franchise as a whole here.

    If we have to compare Madden NFL 22 to one of the two quarterbacks on its cover, the latter is more Tom Brady than Patrick Mahomes: he becomes thinner and more complete over time, but still idles like his last years. The game is running out of steam from a technical point of view, and the difference between the next-gen and the PS4 / ONE versions is not so obvious on the visual, especially as the online and solo bugs are still also common. On the other hand, Madden does not fall into the trap that made Opus 21 a failure, namely to give a second youth to Franchise and Career modes via cool additions (Momentums, coaching staff talent tree ... ). For the rest, we will wait for the real "slap" episode that the new generation of consoles deserves in the years to come.
