I enjoyed the new “Weekly Strategy” and “Manage Staff” menus. In this way, they have made great progress.

There was clearly work put in to try and make the franchise menu full of life and create a change of pace from the previous few years.

Now let’s get to the meat of the franchise mode: the franchise menu and decisions. Overall, the gameplay needs some tweaking for some of the new mechanics but also some of the old. I could run in and out of the endzone, with nothing happening. There were a few times that I would score and it wouldn’t actually show a score. Several times, I also had players run wrong routes, run backwards, or not run a route at all. There were also several times replays didn’t show the player making the play and some of the plays in the Gameflow were blank, making it impossible to see what play you might be calling.

A lot of them are slow moving, making it harder to read the play you called, or it simply doesn’t show up, causing a lot of mistakes that don’t feel fair. The new pregame/postgame animations are fun, showing the players running out of the tunnel, warming up, talking to coaches, shaking hands, taking pictures, and more (even though they still have Tua throwing with the wrong hand in warmups).Īnother new gameplay change was the artwork for the plays on the field. I find myself leaning more towards “secure catch” instead of “aggressive catch” like I had in Madden 21.

The new catching update has been a challenge for me personally, giving more control to the player on how they want to catch the ball. It makes each play feel like it could turn everything around, which I can greatly appreciate. Then BOOM! The momentum shifts ever so slightly as Tua throws a deep ball to Jaylen Waddle for 43 yards. As Tua and the Dolphins tried to make their way down the field, everything from the screen to my controller was shaking, making me feel like this was the time to make a play.

I played a game against the Bills where the momentum was completely on the Bills’ side. I greatly enjoyed the new momentum mechanic, which makes the game have a certain NCAA feel to it with the stadium getting louder and louder as the momentum shifts. Let’s first talk about the gameplay - don’t worry, it’s still Madden football at its heart.
