Why doesn't Madden 23 PC have the same features as current generation console?

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.

    @Darrenrocker Or just raising the minimum requirement out of the basement. It's almost as if they want people on old laptops to be playing Madden on PC. It's ridiculous.

    @TWJanssen right! These comments from EA are so well crafted. This guy could make a killing selling salt water in the Bahamas

    I see your point about f1 as well. Personally, I am a tech nerd and into game engines and rendering tech. I have a top notch machine. F1 22 has RTAO, reflections, transparencies, etc.
    Too bad I am too pissed at EA to actually play it.
    Though, I have to say, codemasters may be the only studio that hasn't been completely ruined by this publisher's greed.

    Does getting Madden 23 on PC / Steam store get you access to next ten features like on consoles?

    @codyd527 No, next gen is ps5 and xbox X/S exclusive. No reason why had been given yet. But they want you to pay full price so you have to decide for yourself if you find a reskin of madden 19 worth the 60$ upgrade. (If you own madden 22 there are mods on the internet to have the roster update since nothing else will change)

    No one should, even next gen console players. Why buy a product from a company knowing full well they'll throw you under the bus for the sake of profit, be it this year, next year, whenever.

    I shouldn't have to go to Youtube or Twitch to find out what features will be on Gen 4.  You and the EA team should already have that information for us before Madden 23 ever launches.  I mean how hard is it for you to just separate what's going to be on Gen 4 as supposed to Gen 5?  For example is the AI for Gen 4 Madden 23 going to be the exact same AI as in Gen 4 Madden 21 or have they at least upgraded it?  Even in the Gridiron notes I have a hard time trying to figure out "well is this just for Gen 5 or is any of it relevant to Gen 4?"  

    This is an EA problem not ours.  Maybe you don't have that info right now, but a month from now if you're still getting asked the same questions and you "don't" have the answers then that's a problem.  I mean I've already decided not to buy your game I trust you understand for obvious reasons, but you need to know that there's a pretty big communication issue going on.  I mean asking for "fundamental" information about a game shouldn't be the equivalent to getting your teeth pulled out.  Again not now, but you should be able to answer it pretty quickly when the game is about to come out.  Anyway I'm not saying this out of anger or anything I mean I'm pretty indifferent at this point.

    If it weren't done that way they wouldn't be able to sucker more people into buying a game that has minimum effort put into it.

    @cashmachine28 as I've said these are 2 entirely different games in 2 entirely different game engines. It has nothing to do with features being enabled or disabled.
    The ps5/xsx game is in their newer game engine.
    The ps4/x1/pc game is the same as its been for a decade.

    Nba 2k23 just announced pc will again have the previous gen version of the game as well. They seem to follow madden each year. Unfortunately they seem to put pc in the same category as switch, for some reason. They discuss them alongside each other like they are remotely close to the same thing.

    Anyway. Please don't fall for the fieldsense nonsense. They said the same thing last year with GameDay.
    The fact is; they are not giving us the newest version of the game. We will have the ps4 app. The one with cardboard stick figures on the sideline.
    Don't let them mention features like fieldsense. If that were the only difference, no one would care. NOTHING is the same between pc and ps5/xsx versions. The AI is different. Lighting, shaders, all assets, geometry. Everything. Its all made for hardware over a decade old.

    MLB the show, nba 2k, and madden, have been games I've owned for decades.
    However, I haven't played them in years because of this.
    PC is the fastest growing platform. We are about to be 2 full generations ahead of console hardware, and the fact that devs are doing this is disgraceful.

    Console people will say "it's because of the small player base".
    That's nonsense. The small player base is because NO ONE IS GOING TO SPEND $60 TO PLAY MADDEN 13 FOR THE 10TH YEAR IN A ROW
