You can play Madden in one of two graphical settings on next-gen consoles: Quality and Performance. The attention to detail on the higher-end systems is astounding and really adds to the gameplay experience. I know I said I wasn’t going to pontificate on the grass here, but I have to give the development team credit – the game looks really good on next-gen hardware. Madden NFL 22 as a whole is just another disappointing release in a long line of soulless cash grabs that are only in the position they're in because there's only one modern football game in town.īut, to be fair, there are a few things Madden is doing well, and consist of promising signs for the future. Like the Franchise Mode, the Yard, and whether or not we think this game is actually worth the hefty price tag.įor a game that often gets associated with the 'Madden Curse', we don't wish anyone a bad time playing Madden 22 and hope to offer some useful if not interesting opinions in this review.ĭoes it really shock you that there is nothing great about Madden NFL 22? Nothing in this game is particularly shinning – not the game modes, not the presentation, and certainly not the gameplay. The game itself, however, has changed quite a bit over the years and in this review, we will talk about some of the changes made to Madden 22 that we like and some we didn't like. So without further ado, let's get into it, your Madden 22 review, the good, the great, and the not-so-good.Īnd while the NFL has changed much over the years, Madden has more or less stayed the same, so much so Madden, and sports games like it, often get meme'd as being too stale or unoriginal to require yearly upgrades. In 1984, Hawkins reached out to Madden, and while the game had its programming issues, lawsuits and delays, in 1988 John Madden's Football was released and the rest was history. However, Joe Montana turned him down due to an existing deal he had with Atari, and Kapp was passed over on account of him wanting royalties. They were famed NFL quarterback Joe Montana and Cal coach Joe Kapp. But before John Madden found himself at the call of Trip Hawkins, Hawkins had his eye set on two other football stars to help launch his game. Though John Madden, the game's namesake retired from announcing in 2009, he continues to lend his name to the game, which EA has released every year since 1990. In 2013 is was released that the Madden franchised had earned EA some nearly 4 billion dollars in profit, making it one of the most valuable video game franchises ever created. To this day Madden is the only officially licensed NFL game and has sold more than 250 million copies in its two decades on the shelves. Trip Hawkins, the founder of EA came up with the idea for a football game in 1984 and approached the NFL with the idea. The History of John Madden Football Released in 1988īefore there was Madden, there was John Madden Football, the original name of the Madden franchise up until 1994 when the name was changed, dropping John Madden's first name, the famed announcer who the game is named after EA required the right in 1993. īut before we get into the good stuff here is a brief history of the Madden Franchise as we know it, starting with its humble beginnings all the way back in 1988, when the first Madden was released, John Madden Football. Rather than bore you to tears with expository writing about how great the grass looks and other boring crap like that, let’s get you into the great, the good, and the not-so-good of M adden NFL 22. Madden 22, the latest offering from EA’s long-running Madden franchise, was released on August 17, 2021, and we don’t really need to tell you what Madden is, as we all know what we’re getting into here.
