So basically the game is made on PCs, and can run on PCs, but nope, can't just port it over. Its just too hard to create a new folder labeled "Madden 22 Next Gen - PC version," then select all from the Xbox Series X folder, click the copy button, click the paste button in the "Madden 22 Next Gen - PC version" folder, and then release that version of the game to PC players as well. Then have both versions available to PC players in case they don't work on the customer's current PC. Problem solved easily and everyone is happy.
I've been playing Madden for 16+ years. I have played on PS2, PS3, PS4, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One X (not to be confused with series X), and PC more recently. Out of all of those different versions, the PC version sounds and looks the best. This same thing happened during the last new console too, except EA just dropped the PC version because they didn't want to deal with the hassle of doing this and maintaining the servers (easy for a billion dollar company to do)
I will compliment EA on something that shocked me. EA Play Pro members do get the Dynasty edition of Madden 22 for free as long as they subscribe, so that is one good thing. Just a tip for others seeing this, the annual price saves you a lot of money, plus its the price of Madden 22 Dynasty edition anyway and you get 10% off of other purchases too (including MUT stuff I think confirm for me Blueberry), and other EA games to play as well. Now if we can just convince EA to upgrade the PC players version to the next gen version instead of the last gen so we can have all of the awesome new features that they added to the gameplay and presentation.
@jimmarshallAnd that most likely won't happen because the PC community is a lot smaller already because the people who could have started something like that have already just switched over to Series X or PS5.
I've been in this fight as well, because I would prefer to not use console.
I played the game yesterday via early access trial on ps5, on image quality mode, and hopefully it eases your minds to know that this game is trash.
It has MUCH worse graphics than any madden since 16-17. The audio is better.
Longshot looked a thousand times better. Face of the franchise in particular has horrible graphics. And looks to have much less effort than Longshot did. I mean...it is ps3 level cinematics where the mouth doesn't even come close to matching the words.
I'm not sure what the hell they're doing, but I do know that my PC would be able to brute force some of these garbage issues.
not me. I'm not paying that much for a system to play their games.
Perhaps EA's revenue trends help explain their disdain towards us lowly pc gamers again this year? I really hope that BF2042 is a success, and maybe for next season's Madden23 we'll get next-gen dynamic gameday and x-play too! 🥳
As much as I'm addicted to football, EA messed up terribly for me to not have bought this game already. I would buy a terrible football sim but current gen Madden is below that. I too wont buy until we get the next gen version. Also the game is extremely glitchy and EA desktop ruins my CPU.
