PC Madden will get the next gen version, either this year or next, since they'll sunset the prior gen versions at some point. Unless they move away from PC entirely, and that's unlikely. It drives valuable EA Play subs.

The CFB title? Eh, we'll see. Waiting on UFC and NHL still. Nothin.

Easy way for them to get people to double dip on older titles imho.

Hopefully it does, but their history with Fifa shows it is no guarantee. Of course Fifa has a more global market where powerful PCs are less common. I'd imagine in the states the Madden PC community has on average more powerful PCs that can keep up with an upgraded version.

I've spent entirely too much time playing this game. Lol
Still a blast and the exploration and mainly the base building has been very addicting.
Completed 2 bosses so far. Got butt handed to us on the 3rd boss so we're gearing up for that one to hopefully fair better next time.

We finished the 5th boss and are ready for a break, but have loved it.

Anyone have good recommendations for a nice chair that offers good back support. I don't need it to be fancy or a gaming specific chair. I just need an office chair for my desk that offers some lower back support because my current chair does not do that at all.

I bought some chair off of Amazon last year or the year before that was touted as offering good lower back support, but very quickly the thing lost the ability to really lock in place, so it leans back no matter what I've tried to do to fix the chair and it offers little in resistance and back support.

If I am playing with a controller I can lean back and kick my feet up and be comfortable, but using a mouse and keyboard and sitting up sucks with the thing.

Looks like EA Play for Game Pass subs is live on PC.

I had a few issues but finally got it to work. Nice to have another 100+ games to play.

1 - if you already have EA Desktop Beta, it didnt work initially until I signed out and then signed back in.

2 - you are supposed to be able to click install from within the Xbox app (and I assume it would redirect you to the EA app) but it gives an error every time. Much easier to simply do it within the EA app, especially since the Xbox app doesn't list all games.

3 - EA desktop app is still buggy. Two instances I downloaded a game and it simply didn't recognize it. Had to uninstall from control panel (or windows settings) and download again. Still no option to uninstall from within the app either (for the games that actually recognized as downloaded), have to do that from control panel or windows settings.
