Hang on a minute...you mean to tell me that you're asking us for evidence of what the company you work for is doing? How is the press finding this out but employees are in the dark?
@Findicarton
"Features" was mentioned and we will want to be specific on what we're discussing because that can refer to anything, including game modes.

This is the same way Madden 22 was handled.
†Dynamic Gameday only available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5

I refuse to buy another madden until EA stops intentionally creating feature gaps between PC and Current Gen Consoles. Additionally, Where is cross play?
Thank you, @CoolwaterPSN
Yes this is accurate. ††FieldSENSE™️ Gameplay System is only on PlayStation®️5 and Xbox Series X|S versions.
If you want to know the why, it is due to monetization. EA believes that since there are a lot of low spec PC gamers that it is in their best interest to copy and paste the previous generation of the game so that more users can engage in microtransactions. If they were to put their best product forward then that means the person already playing last gen at 35 fps would now be unable to do so.
Same strategy done by 2k.
Thats a terrible take and harkens back to specs. The recommended specs for this pre gen game on PC people generally don't even own the hardware anymore because they're so old. 90% of new games that are released cant even run on them. I know this because I had the exact gpu recommended by steam and it was unable to play the majority of games 2-3 years ago. Its blatant negligence on EAs part.
EDIT: and another point should be made, GPUs last 5-8 years. The recommended GPU is 9-10 years old.
Exactly. There's literally no excuse for specs like that. For the minimum requirements to be GPUs that aren't even made anymore. My PC can outperform both next gen consoles and they're giving us a port of the xbox one/ps4 game because it's minimum effort. There aren't even any proper visual settings on PC. It's possible for them to make the PC edition next gen, but it comes down to 1 of 2 things:
1. EA sports and how they allocate their resources puts PC at the bottom of the totem pole
2. EA sports just doesn't care.
And with 0 response to the biggest thread in the Madden NFL 23 Forums that's been going on for months, I'm pretty sure the developers just don't care.
