    Its fun to play with other people in the house but I can tell Madden has really sold out as a franchise. I can speak on this since I have been a player since madden 03 as a kid. I won't elaborate but I won't buy another Madden and I hope they lose their exclusive license soon. They need healthy competition.

    Is it good? No. Is it better than all the other frostbite engine Maddens? Yes. And it's the only way to play football with 17 game seasons and 14 team playoffs.

    Look, its not a bad game, its not a great one either.
    Regrettably I find myself wanting to play Madden around the time the NFL season starts, excellent marketing by EA. I feel if it was released in March it would sell a lot less.

    I am totally over MUT and challenges and other garbage the developers shoe-horn into the game to try and make people stick with it longer.
    It looks good and plays really well but its just not worth the asking price.
    EA should make it a free to play, or say $10.00 for franchise mode, then sell the tack on stuff, like MUT, Face of Franchise and The Yard to whomever wants it. They're the same people who pay for microtransactions.
    Needless to say I still got this for a discount and I highly, highly doubt I will ever purchase another Madden NFL ever again.    … Expand

    Madden NFL is in a very sad state. EA has completely cut every cost in development purely to rake in as much profits from the imbeciles spending $ on Ultimate Team, which is aiding in the slow decline of quality in games. Madden NFL is decent. More animations for game play is nice, however Madden is too animations dependent. The graphics are still mediocre. Remember during the PS2Madden NFL is in a very sad state.

Madden NFL is decent. More animations for game play is nice, however Madden is too animations dependent. The graphics are still mediocre. Remember during the PS2 Era, when sports games were show pieces for Console graphics? That is no more. Madden graphics are far below average. Franchise improvements are welcome, but again they are minimal changes, and they aren't even completely here at launch. What a joke

    Such a shame that Madden isn't a fantastic Football Sim any more. And it will not be again until there is competition.    … Expand

    Cmon man, this is not nearly as bad as some people are pointing out to be, it does have it flaws, as every Madden game, and the franchise score bug is inexcusable, but after not buying Madden 21, and coming back this season, this game is clearly better. Stop thinking about it as a simulation game, it clearly is not.

    I have a lot of fun with this game, but it's so pay to win it's not even funny. I forbid myself from rating it higher than this but It's still a blast.

    Madden is a billion dollar franchise that has grown content. Thanks to its exclusivity deals, EA takes zero risks and fumbles each year providing us rehashed versions of previous entries. Madden NFL 22 is no different. Meager improvements are outweighed by series fatigue. Instead of focusing on giving us polished gameplay mechanics and an improved Franchise Mode, EA's focus is divided into unwelcome modes like Face The Franchise and The Yard leading to an overall incomplete and broken experience.
