Why is Next Gen not being brought to PC for Madden 22?

It doesn't make any sense that Next Gen is not coming to the PC for Madden 22. While not getting for the remainder of Madden 21 made some sense - not having it all for Madden 22 is inexcusable. The E...

Hey, 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.

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_Blueberry I've cancelled my EA Play Pro because of EA's decision to shortchange PC players. There are other who've done the same thing. Tell your managers to check the cancellation logs. PC gamers aren't impressed at being considered second rate.

Give us equal features and we'll gladly buy the game and resubscribe. We shouldn't be left to feel like we should be 'honored' that you even bothered to give us Madden 22. There's literally ZERO logic in taking away features from the PC version. It's been said time and time again that next gen consoles are basically PCs. You literally had to rip out the features in order for them to not appear in the PC version. If PC won't ever be equal, then you may as well just not even bother making a pc version.

      the computer I built last winter running is running pretty hard on this current gen guys, & if you look at the forums many people have been having issues. I'm just hoping they don't abandon us to be honest.

        My 3 year old PC runs this game in its sleep.  Just because you built a subpar PC doesn't cover EAs laziness\greed.

    @CoolwaterPSN 100%. Not buying another EA product until they start respecting PC gamers.

      @EliteTeamKillerbut they never will because that's not where their core audience is, even on the last earnings call they said, quote: "The main drivers of growth next year remain FIFA on console, Apex Legends, Apex Mobile and FIFA Mobile."

        It's also a joke they upped the system requirements starting with Madden 21 for PC when the game engine dates back to 2013. There no reason why a Windows 7 or 8.1 PC cannot play the latest Madden. Also Origin blocks you from installing it on a PC not running 10. This basically the same game since Madden 19 for PC yet for some reason greedy EA had to jack up the system requirements .
