Your feedback and frustrated is acknowledged. The Forum Team will continue to pass along all PC fan's thoughts on feeling excluded from FieldSENSE to the team. It's not ideal and I am sure it came down to a tough decision to not be able to include this for that platform. If there is any path to adding Gen 5 features for players on PC this season we will make sure its announced to the community. Throughout my years at EA and helping the Madden team I do not anticipate any deviation from what has already been announced for this season of Madden NFL 23.
The game features/details you are requesting to be shown are unavailable to the forum team to announce at this time. As in the past, these features are showcased over Gridiron Notes and social media as we come closer to launch. We'll make sure it's posted here as soon as we become aware. It's understandable eager fans like yourself want to find out what's included on PC so you know how the game will feel and play. Pre-order bonuses are valid up until the Worldwide release date. So if there is any concerns on missing out on those benefits we thankfully have more time on our side until additional news about the game is revealed. In a world where we have Twitch & YouTube streamers and those with early access to the game it allows fans to get a good idea what a game will be like before making a purchase. Again to bring this up in the forums the EA Play Pro membership includes the full game and a huge library of other games. EA Play Basic will allow 10 hours of gameplay for Madden NFL 23. I know some players will jump into that to see if they want to purchase the full game once the 10 hours of gameplay are up.
We hope you join us on the field this season but we also don't want you to feel obligated to play a game you don't think will have the best experience. Having fun in our games is a pretty big part of why we make games. We really think this year will be an amazing season of Madden NFL football on both Gen 4 and Gen 5. That is up to you to decide in the end though and we'll make sure all concerns are forwarded to the team from our side both before and after launch. That is what we are responsible here on the forums. We'll be your voice in any way we can so they can consider requests for the future.
Pre-Order canceled, pass that along, I'll also be canceling my Play Pro, and I'll be pushing friends and family not to buy this game. There is no reason that a game developed on a PC cannot be ported to a PC with all its features. EA made over a Billion dollars on Madden last year so spare us all the Corpo speak. I know you are just a community manager and don't make choices about the game so please don't think this anger is directed at you or the DEVs this choice rests solely on management who doesn't take PC players seriously. This is now the third year PC players will be getting a substandard game despite most PCs being on the same level or better as current Gen consoles. The fact that EA can't be bothered to let people know PC players will be getting a last-gen port until July one month before the game is set to release says it all.
FIFA 23 for the PC will be based on the current generation (PS5/Xbox Series), with double the system requirements and almost all the same features.
There's no reason for Madden NFL to be left out in the dust again.
Such a waste. If EA would release all the features for Madden 23, they would make a killing. I’m not going to be buying Madden on PC until it matches or exceeds the console version. EA might want to look at how well Elden Ring did on PC. It outsold PlayStation. Whoever is in charge of the PC division should be fired, because they are just losing money by not making the PC version match the console version. Instead of growing the PC user base, they are just going the wrong way.
I might actually give FIFA 23 a look since they seem to be able to deliver the same experience on console and PC
