The start of the 2022 National Football League (NFL) is upon us, and fittingly, Electronic Arts is releasing EA SPORTS Madden NFL 23.
With his namesake John Madden celebrated on every cover and powered by the game’s PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S version’s game-changing FieldSENSE gameplay system, Madden NFL 23 offers the most authentic 11-on-11 football simulation ever .
FieldSENSE forms the basis for consistent, realistic gameplay. It gives players the control they need to demonstrate their skills on the pitch.
FieldSENSE brings even more realism to the field, thanks in part to a new animation technology that allows the Hit Everything feature to redefine defensive interactions.

In addition, there are improvements to central gameplay systems such as zone coverage, pass rush and the containment of strong running quarterbacks, which take balancing to a new level.
