Madden NFL 22 and Its Cover Stars Revealed Alongside Significant New Features
Today EA unveiled Madden NFL 22 along with announcing the game’s cover stars: Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes. The annual football game is due out on Aug. 22 and will retail at $69.99 on PS5 and Xbox Series S | X, and $59.99 for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia.
Along with revealing the game, EA has dumped a lot of new information about what is going to be new this year and, honestly, it’s quite exciting for a change.
The last few years we’ve been a bit down on Madden. While it has continued to be a serviceable football game, it has felt very stagnate. I’m quite forgiving when it comes to sports games because I can sympathize with how difficult it must be to make a new game year after year, but last year I felt comfortable calling Madden NFL 21 a “roster update” for all intents and purposes.
Madden NFL 22, at least on paper, appears to be coming in much harder with fresh ideas that have the potential to really shake up the gameplay.
The big one is Dynamic Gameday, which is a new feature that will attempt to inject stadium atmosphere, game momentum, and even home-field advantage as factors that can impact how a game turns out.
