Since it's now confirmed PC does NOT get any of the next gen features yet again, a better question is what ARE we getting for the PC version that justifies charging up to $99 for this copy / paste game on Steam? A roster update? A throwback tribute cover of John Madden? This is absolutely ridiculous. Last Madden I actually bought was in 2016 when I had a PS. Ditched that platform long ago as PC gaming is just better in countless ways. Last Madden I played was '22 because I could add it to my library for free with my $5/mo. EA Play account. Even then I uninstalled it after a couple days due to it not having any of the next gen features. I won't be buying this for PC yet again if the devs care this little about our platform. Good lord.

Relaying my response in another thread I posted earlier regarding a forum user that had similar feedback:
We hope to see you on the field with us this season, whether it is at the start or at a later time. The game is still much more than a roster update as it will features updated content for other modes as well which is factored into the experience you'll have in Madden 23 this season.
If you are looking for a discounted rate, your best option for value on PC is the EA Play Pro membership.
EA Play Pro is $99 for an entire year and you also get access to other new EA titles. As well as a huge library full of games. If you are a MUT player, you also receive 500 points per month for a whole year. So if you're a heavy MUT player on PC, in my opinion, going that route is a no brainer because of the advantages you get with points, 10% MUT discount, and your MUT bonus Welcome Pack. Even if you're not a MUT fan though, having a library of the latest EA games and other options to play throughout the year is about the same cost as single games these days.

If it was not for this feature , I would not have played Madden at all the past 2 years. I pay your 25$ subscription to play for a month, which doesn’t bother me because the lack of new features and diversity doesn’t keep my attention for more than that.
after finding out PC is still going to be last gen technology , I will be doing the same most likely , or not at all to be honest. It’s astonishing how much PC players get left behind and forgotten when it comes to sports games.
@cis0Yea. I think EA and 2k are just lazy.
I believe we will see MLB the show on PC next year, which would be phenomenal. That game is just begging for a native 4k/high frame rate experience, and Sony is going all in on PC ports. The complete opposite attitude of madden and 2k devs, I guess.
What 2k and madden devs are underestimating, is just how many people ditched consoles and built PC's in the last 2 years. They can not use 10-year old games to guage interest. No one is buying that stuff. Even with my 3090, I can not polish a ****(madden "23")
@EA_Blueberry Will you respond to any of this or just leave it like this? Any word why fifa is next gen and madden isn’t since can’t be that hard if I see the fifa specs?
He can't do anything as he has no say in what the Devs say or do, he can only forward our concerns. I don't think he fully understands what the issue is though that's for sure. Be it I didn't get a response for such a large issue I'd say my piece to the public and quit because all he's there for is to take BS from the community. This whole thread is falling on deaf ears. Community Managers=Community Handlers. I.E. 'We don't have an answer right now but please buy EA pro in the mean time'
