![]() Even with some of the odd animations and glitches, Madden 22 looks visually appealing and consistently representative of what we see on Sundays. Now, a lot of those things have been reduced since the patch was dropped - PS, it’s no fun reviewing a sports game that drops a large patch right before launch - but reduced does not mean eliminated. That said, I did see some animation quirks, such as ball carriers tackling the defender, running backs switching uniforms mid-carry (no, really), and players running straight past my return man, through the wall, and out of the stadium without ever losing a step. ![]() The animations go a long way in making me feel like I was watching players replicate how they move and perform when I watch on TV or sit in a stadium. The momentum and player weight also shine during tackling sequences when bigger and stronger players make more of an impact than more agile players. The momentum improvements to the players have the biggest impact on the field, especially during short-yardage situations such as goal line and fourth-down scenarios. The ability to cut on a dime in an unrealistic fashion has been greatly reduced, and in my experience, the running game feels as good as it has in years. Player momentum has also seen a tangible upgrade as weight, ability, and direction now play a larger part in how tackling or blocking sequences play out. But what I see and feel on the field this year that is improved comes in the form of better player movement and additional animations that were added to create a more authentic look and feel. Sometimes EA sort of tries to tell us “XYZ” has been improved, but then you pick up the sticks and it doesn’t really seem different. Madden 22 Review – What I LikeĪ lot of the improvements in Madden 22 are the type that can be felt and seen. Fans have waited a very long time to hear that sort of promise from EA, so I spent a lot of time in franchise mode for this review, but fear not, I’ll cover much more than just that, so let’s dig into things here. This year feels a bit different though as the folks at EA Sports in charge of the Madden 22 franchise mode have promised big changes, so that of course that plays into this Madden 22 review. It is that time of year again as football fans eagerly await the release of their sole choice for NFL bliss on console and PC.
