Why doesn't Madden 23 PC have the same features as current generation console?That's it. That's the question. The same happened with Madden 22. I didn't buy Madden 22 because PC is not being treated with the same respect as consoles. I won't buy Madden 23 either. I want the fully featured PC version. There's really no honest reason to not give the PC version the same level of content. Current Generation consoles are closer to PCs as ever before.Stop porting last gen versions to PC, please.

I can confirm the PC community will receive everything a Gen4 version of the game would receive (PS4/XB1). As many of you are aware, only Gen5 consoles will receive the FieldSENSE technology. Details on what that includes is mentioned in this deep dive below: https://www.ea.com/games/madden-nfl/madden-nfl-23/news/gridiron-notes-madden-nfl-23-fieldsense-deep-dive

Title says it all.Madden 23 introduces FieldSense which seems great and all... until you realize it's not coming to PC. No idea what y'all are doing anymore. The first year, I understood not porting the next-gen version of the game to PC because the new generation of consoles had just released. But this is the second year, with a full year of development. Nobody can understand why you continue to ignore PC players by giving us old, dated versions of the game and then wonder why the player count on PC is so low. Maybe, it's because PC players are constantly left in the dust, considering there's no support from developers.

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?

Let's return the favor and forget Madden when 2k releases

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...

You're not understanding the issue. Any current PC built/bought 2019-today can perform better than PS5 and Xbox series X. The PC edition of this game is intended for GPUs that are 9 years removed from what's up to date. That's for the recommended specs, don't get me started on the minimum requirements. The commercials that make the game look great are played on these PCs that hold 3090 GPUs. That's why they always say "Gameplay is not representative", because the next-gen consoles are 3060 GPU equivalents. Are you even reading the comments?

@EA_Blueberry I'm convinced you're a bot, and we are all fools.

My apologies in advance for the caps.

WE KNOW THAT THE PC VERSION IS ONLY GETTING GEN4 FEATURES!!! THAT IS THE PROBLEM!!! WE WANT GEN5 FEATURES ON PC TOO!!!

@CBlan1224 If they're going to give us last years features, they could at least offer it at a reduced price.

Seriously. I don't know how these people have jobs outside of doing what their bosses say to not get fired.

@EA_Blueberry Your confirmation seals the deal. I won't be buying Madden on PC or subscribing to EA Play Pro again until there is an equivalence had with current gen consoles.

Why did EA come back to PC only to give us a last gen experience? I just don't get it. Are they not interested in selling PC games or subscription numbers?

@CoolwaterPSN it's not even last years features. The physics engine implemented last year, or the next gen stats, won't be in the game.
They use wordplay to make it seem like fieldsense is the only thing that's different, but the GameDay stuff they added last year and everything else I've mentioned won't be in it either. It's literally madden 20 with a roster update.

I've been tracking this topic for a couple years. This year, EA made 2 entirely different games. One in the new engine, and one in the old. It is not even possible for us to have the same game, minus a few features. It's entirely different character models, lighting, geometry, everything.

@CBlan1224 whatever it is, i'm not buying it. So that ship has sailed.

It sucks, but EA made this bed.

Just for clarity to anyone who looks at this thread, this has an "EA approved solution". The solution is telling us PC has a gen 4 game for GPUs that are 9-10 years old, instead of a next gen game for PC that can frankly outperform next gen consoles which has been the case for years. Just so there's no confusion because EA and the community managers are pretty firm on dodging the question "Why doesn't Madden 23 PC have the same features as current generation consoles".

@EA_Blueberry Was posting that link in this thread just to rub it in? We are wanting to know what will be NEW to the version we are getting. Is it just a roster update and new theme for FOTF? Is new trade logic and scenarios for Franchise on the watered down version as well?

These are great questions. Unfortunately, we do not have the specifics on these modes to share right now. The team is planning to reveal more about the game such as Franchise, MUT, and other features as we get closer to launch. Stay tuned!

@EA_Blueberry How far is EA with the official statement for neglecting PC?
