Coaching staff development and management, and more meaningful game planning and preparation, should give a big lift to a staple mode. “Especially on All-Pro this year, you’re going to get different experiences based on who you’re playing.”Ĭrucially, though, Madden NFL 22’s franchise mode will also get a substantial change for the first time in years. “To address one piece of fair criticism against us, when you played against the AI years past, some of those games could feel a little same-y,” Seann Graddy, the game’s executive producer, said during an online preview event earlier this week. Aware that fans expect more at launch, Madden NFL 22’s makers promise that die-hards will see an all-new game backed up by features they’ve demanded for a long time.

Madden NFL 21 closed out the previous console generation feeling like a placeholder effort, with the real changes coming in the game’s post-release support, particularly the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions that launched in November. Overall, Oldenburg and his colleagues are trying for more dynamic, less rote gameplay in Madden NFL 22’s single-player modes - where 80% of all user games take place, he said. That meter works for visiting teams, too they just will have at least one fewer boost to unlock. These boosts are user-triggered, available when a new mechanism called the game day momentum meter fills up. Previously, hat-count was available at Madden’s lower-level difficulties and was shown in the pre-snap play mapping. “They’re just little boosts and penalties here and there to make you feel emotionally connected to that environment.” One example: The game’s “hat-count” display - which shows which side of the line of scrimmage has a stronger defensive presence - becomes visible, and gives an edge to the home team’s offense. “It’s not so powerful that you’re going to need them to be successful,” Oldenburg said. And kickers in Chicago will have a harder time thanks to Soldier Field’s gusting wind patterns. Teams playing the Broncos a mile above sea level will have a harder time recovering stamina, for example. But a home field’s challenge won’t simply be in ramped-up volume and roaring crowds. With crowds returning after a pandemic year quieted the NFL’s stadiums last fall, they’ll be a more noticeable part of the league’s video game, too. Yes, home-field advantage is real, Oldenburg said. All I could hear was the crowd,” said Oldenburg, today Madden NFL 22’s gameplay producer, back then an offensive lineman trying to make the Denver Broncos’ 53-man roster. “When I was at the line of scrimmage, I couldn’t hear anything.
“Not a regular season game, not a playoff game.” The crowd in Seattle still annihilated his ability to think.
It was a preseason game, Clint Oldenburg said.
