Well since EA_Blueberry can't even tell us if Madden 23 on PC will have any meaningful improvements over 21 or 22 there's no point in wasting my time here. So for 2 years in a row, I won't be buying Madden. One of the easiest choices I've made all year. Good luck guys.

Hello there,

I have been out since the 9th and came back in yesterday and still attempting to catch up on what I have missed since being out. From my understanding PC players will receive all the same features as console users, except for FieldSENSE which is a PS5/XB1SX/S feature only. Details on what is included in FieldSENSE can be read here.

  @EA_Blueberry no offense, because I know this is not your fault, but that's just marketing jargon for saying "you're basically getting last years model with a new color" That's not good enough. PCs are already far more capable than the next gen consoles available out there, and the next-gen consoles are using PC technology. The Xbox itself is using windows-based technology, so there is literally NO valid reason that ALL features available for next-gen Madden 23 should not be available for PC players. To port it to PC requires virtually no effort on the part of the developers.
  
  So I am asking you to please stop listening to the marketing jargon, and just be real. We are NOT getting any new features. It's basically only some slightly upgrade graphics and animations, updated rosters, and some additional polish. Other than that, it is the exact same as Madden 21 and 22 which were basically carbon copies of each other.

  Have you heard anything in regards as to why next gen features won't be brought to PC? Also, are next gen features still in the plans of being implemented to PC in the future? I know in the past we've been told that it was being considered for the future. After 3 years of waiting I'm a little confused about what their timeline is looking like for PC

    @Roninx007 Don't give them the opportunity to lie to us. Saying they'll add the feature later would be a lie. Has Madden ever added features after launch?

  @EA_Blueberry Welcome back. Sadly, you're not answering the questions put forth. I hate to pull a Karen, but i'd like to speak with your manager.
  
  SOMEONE needs to hear us. SOMEONE needs to provide an honest answer here. I know you're just doing as you're told, but seriously, we as gamers are aware of how many things work in this industry, and there's legitimately no reason that PC cannot have the same features. So just tell us why that is. Be honest, and stop trying to market speak us to death.
  
  Why isn't the PC version of Madden 23 getting FieldSENSE?

    @CoolwaterPSN Let's show EA Sports how big our community is, how passionate we are, and how much we care about being given the same features as our console brethren, rather than being treated like a second-class community. It is not right on many levels to give PC players a last-gen version of Madden 23 at full price, when not only are our PCs fully capable, and easily powerful enough to handle anything Madden 23 throws at us, but even the Next-Gen consoles are based on PC technology (the Xbox itself being windows-based), so even porting it requires minimal effort on the part of EA Sports.
    
    So sign the petition below, and let's show EA we mean business.
