As it appears as of right now, Madden 23 on PC is likely once again current gen. Are there any plans on changing it to next gen in the coming years or is it staying current gen? Do you guys possibly move on from PC as a whole again?

Tbh it’s just a disgrace. The fact it looks like there is going to be no cross platform is bad enough for pc with its small player base. Nevermind not even giving us the next gen version.
It just proves again ea don’t care about us simple as.
Might be the first time in over 10 years I don’t get the new madden shame.

Hi, @Axzhh
We'll track down this question on whether PC will receive all the features console has and update you here on this post.- JMEllis20203 years agoSeasoned Adventurer
Stop giving us excuses and tell us the truth. It has been 3 years since the new gen started. PC players deserve the features being brought to next gen and can also handle those features if they are playing on PC. Its such a disappointment that PC is being left out once again...I'll be so glad when the exclusivity deal ends...Simulation football games on all platforms deserve better than this...let competition happen, it will make all of the games better. I think EA is scared of competition myself, I mean look at NBA. You have given up so many times on it, all because 2K actually listens to their fans and tries to innovate their franchises. Anyway...I shouldn't expect much from this company anymore...With as much money as you make EA, you should be able to put out the best video games around the world, but the money all goes to the board and the top of the food chain in the company instead of being invested in the ones actually making the games and the games themselves.
I truly hope this changes one day...its not looking good currently...- 3 years ago
Unfortunately there's not enough people making a big deal about the current situation with Madden on PC right now. We will likely get left out once again. If we're lucky maybe we will get next gen later in the year. I Wish they would be honest and just tell us the PC community isn't important to them. That's ok because the first second a different company steps up to make a quality simulation football game... I'm leaving EA and Madden in the dust.

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.

Just in case you need to use the same tired message again.
From June last year.

Hey, Madden NFL PC fans.
This is something we’re exploring for the future. We’re still early in the transition to next-gen and right now are focused on making the best, quality experience on new consoles before we look to upgrade other platforms.- JMEllis20203 years agoSeasoned Adventurer@ericth3r3d
Its really sad that this is the same message we have heard the past two years already and we will be hearing it again this year ☹️ I wish one of my favorite franchises didn't get treated this way on my preferred platform

1 year not porting next gen to PC is understandable. 2 years not doing it is pushing the limit. 3 years not doing it says they don't care at all about their customers on the PC platform. There is no justifiable reasoning at this point not to port it. As far as I can tell, all you get for the $60 purchase price currently listed on Steam is a roster update and a tribute cover of John Madden. Ridiculous. Will not be buying the game again this year. I'll wait until it's added to the vault for free on my EA Play account like I did last year. But honestly, since Sabo, the modder who fixes all the Franchise and AI issues, has already said publicly he's out this year and every year going forward, I probably won't play it much even then.
In the future, EA, if you're going to release a PC port of the game, either actually put the same effort into it as you do for the console bois, or don't bother with the port to PC at all. Very disappointing!

This is so stupid, been buying Madden every year since 12.. This is it, I'm done.
- 3 years ago@Ingijudo Agreed. My football gaming goes all the way back to the original Tecmo Bowl on the NES. I owned every Madden starting from the original up until 2016 when I finally stopped buying it as it was clear at that point they didn't care much about Franchise mode anymore and I had moved on from console gaming to PC gaming anyway. Haven't bought it since then and only have played it last year when '22 got added to the vault on my EA Play account.
I still check each year to see if it somehow would be worth buying and getting back into, but it never is. Had high hopes this year they'd really commit to making a good version as a tribute to Coach Madden passing, but it seems like the same copy / paste thing they always do and the no next gen port for PC just solidifies my decision to not buy it again this year. For PC gamers, I don't see any justifiable reason to do so.
- JMEllis20203 years agoSeasoned Adventurer@o---DaVeX---o I have EA Play Pro, so at least I don't have to pay for the game on PC. But still, its very disappointing. John Madden would be disgusted at the way the PC fan base has been treated no matter how small the group of players are, whether its 1 or 100 players. He would want us all to have the best version of the game.
