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.

- 3 years ago@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.- NatureBoy23233 years agoHero+
New release moves & counter press mechanics give you more control in Madden NFL 23!
- 3 years ago@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.

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.EA Play Pro Members
