    It's better than Madden 21 and while there are improvements in Franchise Mode, I feel like there could be more. And they made improvements to the gameplay. However, I honestly don't like the new home field advantage and the return of X- Factors. But overall, Madden NFL 22 is a very solid game.

    Madden 22. Quite Possibly the biggest disappointment since Madden 06 on the Xbox 360. EA promised a breath of fresh air for this new game after the hashtag #FixMaddenFranchise went trending on Twitter. However, This game is terrible. The game is full of glitches such as Franchise Stats, not counting, players disappearing during plays, and menus lagging. Another big issue is Zone Coverage,Madden 22. Quite Possibly the biggest disappointment since Madden 06 on the Xbox 360. EA promised a breath of fresh air for this new game after the hashtag #FixMaddenFranchise went trending on Twitter. However, This game is terrible. The game is full of glitches such as Franchise Stats, not counting, players disappearing during plays, and menus lagging. Another big issue is Zone Coverage, defenders do not care about their coverage assignments making it possible to run one play and bomb every coverage if your receiver has more than 88-89 speed.

    Ultimate Team is back and even worse. The new feature in MUT is Strategy Cards. These combine physical and stat chemistry, making everything more confusing and forcing players to spend more money doing sets and getting these items. Also, EA changed the MUT level progression system, making it take much longer to level up, forcing NMS players to spend money as it takes nearly 40 hours to reach max level.

    Franchise has had some additions, however, these seem half-baked and are ripped straight from NHL 21. The biggest new feature will be the scouting update but EA has said it will not be released until September.

    The Yard, Superstar KO, and Face of the Franchise are the same with FOTF having a new cringe story.

    Overall Madden 22 is slightly better than Madden 21 but still gets a 0 due to its immense amount of glitches and lack of creativity.

    For gamers who haven’t purchased a new Madden title in a few years (and refuse to spend time hunting for a new console) this is a solid, thorough sports sim that still brings a wealth of gameplay to the table.

    Madden NFL 22 makes the same mistakes the franchise has had in recent years and its successes are not enough to reverse the score against.

    Madden NFL 22 is another Madden game, with not many new features to warrant a new price label of $59.99. If you do not like NFL Football, you will not like this game. While known NFL commentators such as Rich Eisen lend their talent to this entry, it is wasted by being overshadowed by nameless voices called ‘coach’. Ultimately, if you own Madden NFL 21 and don’t NEED to play online, you could possibly skip this entry.
