EA Sports ventured into more storytelling, moving away from the simple Superstar Mode and creating Longshot in Madden 18. MUT DATABASE: Best players, top card ratings for Ultimate Team Face of the FranchiseĪs someone who used to love the Superstar Mode of the old Madden games, I usually look forward to the renovated version of that, which is now Face of the Franchise. MUT is truly a year-round game mode with constant updates throughout the year, so it's a little unfair to give it a full review right now. It's hard to fully review MUT at the start of the year because so much changes as the game goes on. EA Sports decreased the benefits you received from Solo Battles and MUT Draft, two staples of NMS users who would grind those challenges out to compensate for their lack of Weekend League rewards. MUT has already received complaints for being "pay to win" and these changes make it even more difficult for NMS (no money spent) users to field a competitive roster. Madden Ultimate Team made a lot of changes in terms of how users progress, and I'm not a fan. Although in EA's defense, it's tough for real-life defenses to stop that combo as well. It's not quite game-breaking, but it's becoming near impossible to stop the combination of Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill. Zone defenses get burnt over top by fast receivers too often, and man defense has had similar issues in the past. While this wasn't as big of an issue as the two defensive schemes I pointed out, it is nice that EA Sports is observing what users do, and improve the gameplay to make it better.īut the improved gameplay has also created some downsides. On the offensive side of the ball, users can no longer use the "stop and go" technique. It's still somewhat possible if you get a good jump and you have a really fast player, but it's not nearly as exploitable as it was in Madden 21 or Madden 20. You shouldn't be able to cover essentially the entire field with a single player.ĮA Sports also fixed an issue where you could simply run around the offensive lineman if you rushed with an outside linebacker.
But with the new movement, it's much harder to run around, and that's a good thing. For example, you used to be able to use a defensive player in the middle of the field, and if they had good speed then you could essentially just run around and cover everyone. These changes took away the ability to manipulate the game in a number of ways.
And EA Sports made a big improvement with its gameplay in Madden 22. But as you continue to play, you get more used to the changes.
The changes are quite dramatic when you first start to play as it feels like your player is moving in slow motion. While we didn't have the full experience of the Next Gen Movement 2.0 featured in the next gen consoles, EA Sports did make changes to gameplay for current gen. MADDEN 22 GUIDE: Everything you need to know before buying the game Gameplay There are a number of noticeable differences between current gen and next gen, including improved graphics, Next Gen Movement 2.0, Next Gen Stats and gameday atmosphere. Note that our review is based on the current gen consoles, so we're missing out on some of the upgraded features of next gen. Since then, millions of fans have been playing the simulation football game, but understandably, some may still be holding out to see if the game is worth the $60 asking price for the standard edition.Īfter playing through the different game modes, Sporting News is ready to review the popular football game. Madden 22 had its worldwide release on Friday, August 20.
