Madden NFL 22 Review

Following the strong community opposition to the game last year, developer EA Tiburon tried to reverse the situation by paying more attention to franchise rights and making more significant improvements to the game. Madden NFL 22 occupies a field of great potential, but it cannot distinguish itself from its predecessors. In addition to its many mistakes, it also erases most of the goodwill it has acquired. After the model is released. In addition to the post-launch update implemented by Madden NFL 21, this year’s model also simplifies your user interface, allowing you to easily access league news or information about your next opponent. I like the new coach promotion system, which allows you to unlock privileges such as increased attributes, better negotiation skills, and additional player experience points. However, my favorite franchise this year came in the form of an improved weekly strategy tool. Here, you can plan for a specific team facing on both sides of the ball and decide the intensity of your practice. Although complete exercises can improve statistics, they do have a chance to knock your players out of the game when they enter the game. I find it helpful to analyze the opponent's strengths and then raise temporarily to counter them.


When you finally set foot on the pitch, the football moves are solid but familiar. Although I still notice tight animations, stupid AI bugs, and players discovering each other after the game, better blocking and tackles make trench battles more realistic. The feeling of the closed pockets around his QB is almost obvious, and I am happy that it is easier to cross the track as a runner. These incremental improvements add to the experience in small ways, but they still haven't advanced the game enough to distinguish it from last year's title. However, my favorite addition comes from the new atmosphere and promotion mechanism. I like to see new boosters react to actions on the field, unlocking privileges for the control side. These modifiers usually appear in the form of hindering the opponent, such as hitting his resistance or hiding his receiver icon. Every time my opponent steals the head, I always try my best to reduce his advantage. When the meter is too far to one side, the camera will even shake before shooting, copying the uneasy feeling of the player on the screen. These mechanisms continue to the series of single-player career mode Face of the Franchise. This year, you can serve as a center linebacker on the defensive end. I have always liked Madden's offense better, but I like to put myself in the position of defensive outfield generals, and have a new shooting angle and more instructive game art. Even if you are in the middle of the game, not every game will be presented to you. This means that your game is more important to the team’s success than playing quarterback, because quarterbacks hit every time. High-level rookies entering the league try to reverse the troubled team through weekly games and unique scenes. As you progress from week to week, you will encounter special situations, such as large-scale matches, weather-delayed showdowns, or matches where the opposition trash talks to your offensive coordinator to increase your score to defend your honor. I find it beneficial to improve my players by deciding how to spend his free time, even if the story is largely forgotten. Once you start from the beginning, most of the narrative beats are awkward scenes, and the voice mail is played through animations of my character on the phone or through uninteresting text conversations. In the preparation phase of a major match, I even had to go through a puzzling scenario where one of the coaches asked me multiple choice questions about the history of the New York Jets. Although I like the race-centric single-player mode in sports games, such a sequence makes me puzzled.

Although I appreciate this new defensive ability, as a quarterback, I found the most fun in the mid-low mode. There is nothing more exciting than making the right offense, pushing the field and completing important passes at the crucial moments of the game. Although the main experience was pleasant, the face of the franchise collapsed due to an obvious malfunction. The seemingly broken scene made the character stunned awkwardly after the dialogue stopped. When the player did not appear on the field, some practice mini-games collapsed. However, the worst failure came in my first game as a linebacker for the Chargers. The Washington football team did not come into being, but I played a repeated Chargers team. The glitch also exists in other modes, but it is particularly obvious in "Face of the Franchise". Those looking for a faster experience still have The Yard, Superstar K.O. and standard online kits. Thanks to the enhanced campaign missions, The Yard adds more challenges to complete, plus the cross-process of your Face of the Franchise avatar, increasing the motivation to continue your career in this garrison mode. Although I appreciate the freedom to spend hours on The Yard or Ultimate Team, this year’s settings did not attract me to spend more time in these modes. Despite various technical problems, Madden NFL 22's field performance is still improving. However, the updates and improvements are largely overshadowed by game issues and the overall stagnation of the series, so it is difficult to recommend it in the first week.
