'It's smoother and marginally more refined, but in so many ways, it's the same old Madden,' Bailey wrote. Still, it's clear that Madden 22, no matter how many upgrades and improvements there are, could be a better football video game. But we may not know the general consensus until more people are voicing their opinions of the game once they have had more time to play it. It's possible the fans' early ratings are tanking the score lower than it should be.

Both PS5 and Xbox Series X editions have user scores of 0.9 out of 10 (though both also have under 200 ratings at the time of publishing). It seems that plenty of people who play the series are still expecting a lot more improvement and fewer issues.

So while this isn't a perfect football video game, things do seem a bit more positive than some recent years.Īlthough the critics have mostly been positive, the fans rating the game on Metacritic have not.

Nash of Windows Central scored the game a 4 out of 5. Mark Delaney of GamesRadar also gave Madden 22 a 7 out of 10, while Anthony J. While Wakeling praised the changes to franchise mode, he also believes Face of the Franchise needs to be better, stating that the career mode 'tells a dull story with unrewarding gameplay.' Wakeling's other big issue with Madden 22 is technical, with glitches preventing the game from running the way it should. He even called this year's edition of the game a 'recent high point for the series.' GameSpot's Richard Wakeling was more generous with his Madden 22 rating, giving the game a 7 out of 10.

'Madden's franchise mode lacks that joyful sense of wish fulfillment that accompanies the best career modes, its rigidity betraying Madden's overall lack of verve and creativity,' Bailey wrote.īailey also had criticisms of other modes, noting that Face of the Franchise is 'short, pointless and ugly' and that the redesigned hub is an 'eyesore.' Kat Bailey of IGN, who scored Madden 22 at 6 out of 10, wrote that the results of EA Sports' focus on franchise mode upgrades are 'decent, if a bit mixed.' While there are new features such as staff management (with talent trees and skill points), improved game plans and a more developed story engine, there's more work that could be done. However, are these upgrades enough to make Madden 22 a substantially better game than its predecessor? There are varied opinions on the matter.
