Madden 23: 10 Things You NEED To Know Before Buying

1. It’s An Annual Sports Title

Yes, that sub-heading is mega-obvious.

It's also one of the biggest things that needs pointing out before you even think about purchasing Madden 23. EA love their marketing hype, but the truth is this is a rolling 12-month cycle of updates. That’s the case for FIFA, NBA 2K etc too, of course, so nobody’s ragging on Madden solo here.

However, don’t be fooled by all the jargon - this will be Madden 22 with a bit firmer footing on new hardware and some fresher gameplay features. It'll live and die on the strength of those FieldSENSE improvements, so maybe see what reviewers/YouTubers you trust say about those before plonking down your hard-earned cash.

One thing is for sure: Madden 23 will be the best PS5/Xbox Series X entry to date. It's the third one, and EA has had significant time to pull the best from both consoles. Still, it might be wise to view 23 as the PS4 Pro version of Madden 22. If that isn't enough for you, then maybe skip a year.
