Raised your question up to the team. Please do not mass tag Community Managers on these forums as many of them are no longer active. We'll share more information around this when we receive it.
Community ManagerHey, Madden NFL PC fans.
This is something we’re exploring for the future. We’re still early in the transition to next-gen and right now are focused on making the best, quality experience on new consoles before we look to upgrade other platforms.
Whoever you are, please do not take it personal, but you and everyone else know, that this is not an actual answer to our questions.
Sooo...we will try it again:
Please give us the reason, why you do not implement some features, which you obviously programmed, into the PC version?
It's not that you sell a completely different game for consoles, you just deny PC gamers some new features, without giving us a real reason!
"Focusing on new consoles" with your companies capacities is not a real reason!
Or is it just you? Are you the only person, working on Madden 22?
You know what, even then, it does not explain this step.....not at all!
Thank you for your answer in advance, I am quiet excited to hear your reasonable response.
A stated above, I do feel for you being charged with dealing with this backlash. However, we do need some answers, so I guess we just have to keep asking daily until we hear something

Hey, all.
We'll continue to relay your feedback to the team. This is the answer I have for this at this moment, we'll update this thread if we hear more. The Madden NFL franchise recently came to the PC platform which has been a positive response from the PC community. We're excited for Madden NFL 22 to come to PC again this year. The team is working hard to make this game the best Madden NFL game to date, but in order to do that they needed to focus on making sure it's ready for the new consoles at launch.
I know the answer you were provided was not the ideal one and I understand it may bring disappointment to those on PC looking to experience the new features coming to the game. If I hear anything new out of this front I'll share it with you here.
@EA_BlueberryThe whole game was programmed on PCs....you literally have to delete things, to not have on PCs anymore.
The answer is not "disappointing", it is just not an answer in any way!
ps.: And as stated befor: Please do not take any comment personal Mr. Blueberry, you are just in a horrible job-position.
@EA_Blueberry It really does suck that you gotta take the brunt of the heat for this. I, along with many others, are very frustrated that no Next Gen features are coming to PC. Countless community members including Youtubers that are game changers, reddit users, and other forum members are confused by this since current PC specs are more than enough for it. While I thank you for relaying this info up to your higher ups, please do keep us informed on changes. I will purchase the game if the next gen features are brought to the game, even if that means in a mid season update like Madden 21 got on next gen consoles. This decision to cut content from the PC community is only going to hurt the sales of the game on this platform over time.
@EA_Blueberry If you can get any sort of clarification on whether or not PC will get a next gen update THIS YEAR then I am sure this backlash would stop and we would all either buy or re-subscribe to EA Play again.

That information is not yet available. When we find out more information around these plans we'll share them here.
The description of Madden 22 on the Origin desktop app is false advertisement. It says "Madden NFL 22 is where gameday happens. It's everything you love about the NFL injected into every mode via ALL-NEW Dynamic Gameday. Whether you're strategizing for a match up in Franchise, going head-to-head in Play Now, or competing in Ultimate Team, feel Dynamic GameDay impact gameplay everywhere." If this is only available on next Gen and NOT going to be available on PC then don't advertise it on the PC version! I'm so sick of EA and all the s***! You guys just suck at everything!

Raised this up to the team yesterday for them to look into the wording. Thank you for bringing this up to our attention.
I understand that your company is put under pressure by Sony and Microsoft to make the console version pristine, but you guys really gotta understand that there is a huge crowd that has moved to PC and no longer uses a console to game. (Especially when you can literally go buy a controller from a store and plug it in.) I was honestly full in on buying this game about 20 minutes ago and then realize that I was about to buy a game gutted because the intended purpose was to push players to console, maybe per contracts with those console makers??? Who knows? I don't, but I and many others really think you guys laugh in our face when you do this to an audience that just over-all wants to enjoy your game.
I gave up on Madden about 10 years ago and was going to come back, but no... I won't come back to a joke
It's sad when it comes to $$$$ > Passion , no one likes a money grubber
Here I was perusing the Gamepass menu when I saw Madden 22 pop up. Oh sweet, I thought...as the game was downloading in the queue, I was greeted with a trailer titled "current-gen trailer" which made me suspicious...pause download, go to google and search up "Madden PC next gen" and am brought to this thread. *cancels download in queue*.
EA do you think I bought a $1300 graphics card so I can play PS4 games? Is that what you thought? Do you think I bought a $1300 graphics card so I can play PS5 games? No. The PC version should be THE definitive version. Why? Because it can be. Because there's no excuse for it not to be.
I won't even download and play your game for "free" (on Gamepass).
does anyone know if we are getting next gen for madden 23 on pc if not that is completely unfair
