While I think the Skill-Based Passing will be a great addition to Madden 23, I also like that players do have the option to turn it off if they do not like it. It's great to have options like this in a video game.

What do PC users have to do to get the next gen version of the game ported to PC? Any decent gaming PC is more than powerful enough to run the game. Does anyone at EA look at twitter and see how many frustrated PC users there are? Many of us have been purchasing every Madden since the 90's and we are left out. I understand that PC players are the smallest demographic, but I also know I am not the only one that is not purchasing this years version of the game just for the updated roster. If all we get is last gen with updated rosters at least provide it at a significant discount. Also, for the love of all that holy please fix franchise mode. It was better in 2004 than it has been in the last 18 years. Looking forward to a response.Regards,Loyal Madden Purchaser

Plus on top of it y’all said you’ve listen to the community hahaha right. There have been a lot of people ask about superstar mode to be brought back but now it’s some stupid “hey you gotta prove it on a 1 year deal. Instead of what it use to be. Who wants to go into year 5 on a prove it deal? Nobody. Madden 20 had it going in the right direction then upper management probably put there 2 cents in & now it’s you not even getting to play your full career. Nobody wants that crap. I’d rather do the combine have a chance to be drafted high then have some storylines…..no damn cap on your attributes realistic contracts other than these stupid 3 yr half assed deals……sweet geezus madden 23 is actually a combination of stuff they took out years ago.

New release moves & counter press mechanics give you more control in Madden NFL 23!https://twitter.com/EAMaddenNFL/status/1533102118466469889

@EA_Blueberry You & the team should watch this. It’s how the entire community feels. Y’all had precision passing back in madden 10 & tackle battles back in 2017. You just take it out say you revamp it & it’s all the same. For real though just watch the YouTube clip but y’all won’t because y’all are all about making those micro transactions. Can’t wait til 2k gets back into this. This half hearted stuff is getting old. No one even makes an effort anymore & it’s sad. I for one will not be buying this anymore til y’all do something different.[Removed - CM - Inappropriate video]

@Ripcurlbro13 Sadly, I believe the answer simply is MUT gets priority over franchise because sheep....er.......I mean people continue to pour money into it every year and I feel like console players are the type of people who play MUT more than Franchise so their platforms get priority and PC players like us are an afterthought. I can't imagine paying $60 (or the insanity of $99 for pre-launch) on PC when it's just a roster update and a tribute cover to John Madden.
Also as note to PC players, Sabo (the modder who fixes Franchise and AI issues for the game every year) declared on discord and twitter that he is out this year and most likely subsequent years on continuing to mod the game.
I really can't envision trying to play the game on PC as it ships from EA without his mods and fixes anyway tbh.

@NatureBoy2323 EA loves to use the buzzword "control" when marketing the game. But the reality is, the game engine is based off of triggered animations, not physics. As long as that's the case, any "control" is nothing more than a dice roll and an illusion at best. Discerning players are not buying into these tactics anymore and haven't been for a long time. These are the same players that will no longer be buying the game in it's current state, not matter how many marketing words are used to hype it up.

@jtcamp1981 Haha, I also watched this earlier today as well. The sentiment and tone is EXACTLY how those of us that want an actual simulation NFL football game sound and feel. The important thing though, is those of us that feel that way need to abstain from buying the game now or ever going forward until EA makes palpable wholesale changes in not just the direction of the game, but how they treat their customers in terms of giving them what they want, not what makes them the most easy micro money. The dollar is the vote that counts. Don't forget that, everybody. If you're fed up with copy/paste versions of the game, and want them to focus on Simulation football (which is what their contract is supposedly all about btw) in instead of game modes that are about anything other than simulation football, then you need to not buy the game this year and tide yourself over with something else that you either already own from the past or invest in a different football franchise for the time being. That's the only way real change will come about. Sad that that's where we're at, but since EA and the NLF decided to eliminate competition for an NFL simulation football product long ago so those are the options. They made that bed with those decisions, so now they'll have to sleep in it. If you don't like where the game is at, make your voice heard with your wallet by keeping it in your pocket this year. Cheers.

Another year, another chance for Madden. I will say from the trailer, and the current information, I am not surprised with the changes. But it has already been said, the passing targeting is something that was in the game, unless you took it out, along with the new but old talking. The WR vs DB battle should not be a new feature of the game, let alone take this long to make that more realistic. Gameplay looks the same as last year, and the many years apart. Franchise is always going to be my go to mode. From the sounds of it, its sound interesting but I will wait to see what more you plan on bring, while not waiting two months for a scouting update. While the other modes don't interest me, I know that MUT will get most of the new gloss, while the old player mode is a nail in the coffin for it. Five year in now, playing a must win story mode, where your not doing anything that makes it like other games. Overall I am interested but not to the point of buying the game. Take the hint that the community wants a better gameplay, focus on Franchise mode, and make what Madden started Madden again.

Hey, @Ripcurlbro13

I'm not aware of any plans for a discounted rate for the PC version per the decision the team made on FieldSENSE not being available for the PC platform. We hope to see you on the field with us this season, whether it is at the start or at a later time. The game is still much more than a roster update as it will features updated content for other modes as well which is factored into the experience you'll have in Madden 23 this season.

If you are looking for a discounted rate, your best option for value on PC is the EA Play Pro membership.

EA Play Pro is $99 for an entire year and you also get access to other new EA titles. As well as a huge library full of games. If you are a MUT player, you also receive 500 points per month for a whole year. So if you're a heavy MUT player on PC, in my opinion, going that route is a no brainer because of the advantages you get with points, 10% MUT discount, and your MUT bonus Welcome Pack. Even if you're not a MUT fan though, having a library of the latest EA games and other options to play throughout the year is about the same cost as single games these days.
