Re: Why is Next Gen not being brought to PC for Madden 22?

As others have stated this isn't personal for you @EA_Blueberry and EA was making some great strides on the PC front.

There was one major thing missing heading into Madden NFL 21 and that was a lack of crossplay. Had there been crossplay I would have been ecstatic, instead in order to play with most of my buddies I had to purchase the game for console. That was strike 1.

Strikes 2&3 is this abomination of giving fully capable hardware a lackluster experience. My gaming rig has been running PS5 level quality for 3 years now and yet it won't be given the Next Gen experience. This was a calculated call by higher ups in EA that decided they don't like giving the game away to EA Play Pro subscribers and would rather push for everyone to buy the game on console.

Well instead you won't get me buying this on console this year as I did last year even though I shouldn't have had to. But on top of it I have cancelled my EA Play Pro sub. I have no plans to support ANY EA game until we get cross play in applicable titles and the PC version of Madden receives the same treatment as the current gen consoles... yes they are now the current gen, not next gen.
