It is becoming a tradition that with the start of the NFL preseason, fans know that EA is also readying the latest version ofMadden NFL 23. This year’s version is scheduled to release in a few days but is a bittersweet launch as the game will be dedicated to the late John Madden, an NFL Hall of Fame coach and renowned commentator who passed away in 2021.
As with all yearly titles, there are a few differences in how the game will work andMadden NFL 23boasts a wealth of improvements over last year’s title. Along with the improved graphics and various roster changes, players will be able to dive into the new career mode to take their favorite team to the Superbowl. The official release date forMadden 23is August 19, but EA is allowing players to get ahead of the game a few days early.

While players can certainly enjoyMadden 23on Xbox One as part of Game Pass, they will however be missing a key feature in this year’s version.FieldSENSE is the new next-gen feature forMadden 23, and much like the HyperMotion feature seen in the latestFIFAgames, the mechanic is set to give gamers more control over their squad using its “physics-informed mechanics.” The downside is that EA has advised that the improved movements will only be available to gamers playing on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
As players of American Football can finally get their hands onMadden 23, EA’s attention will turn towards the other football as they gear up for September’sFIFA 23release. The game will be the final entry in the three-decade-longrelationship between EA and FIFA. Next year EA will still release a soccer game under the guise ofEA Sports FC, whereas the FIFA license has yet to find a home, although 2K is reportedly in talks to snap up the lucrative name.
