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...

@EA_Blueberry There is a 20something page topic on the pc players getting screwed in madden 21, and a longer one in madden 22. Both of which you are apart of.
They are obviously referencing the fact that the pc version is an entirely different game than the ps5 version.
No one is buying this recycled nonsense.
We are looking for an excuse as to why we keep getting shafted. And tell the support staff to stop lying to people.
Thank you

@BestShowonTurf1 Don't even go there. The character models are much better. The physics is much better., but its none of those things that actually matter
Madden, like everything else, should scale well above console.
We should be getting the best version of the game, BY FAR, but I'd settle just to actually be able to play it above 60fps in native 4k.
It should release with console settings as medium and go up to ultra.

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

@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?
