Look, if you absolutely need a new Madden, this version is ever so slightly better than the dumpster fire that was Madden 21. Gameplay has a few tweaks that make things feel a tiny bit smoother, and Franchise mode has some small improvements. But man, EA clearly cares way more about microtransactions than making a solid game. It's loaded with bugs, players act weird on the field, and the presentation feels ancient. Unless you're desperate for a football fix, wait for a heavy discount.
