M23 Release Day Plans?

[MBizzle13]

Always curious what people’s go-to is once you’ve installed and played the intro scenario…

Mess with rosters? Exhibition? Ultimate Team?

Debating on whether I’ll pull the trigger for early access this year, but regardless I always play an exhibition with out of the box sliders/settings, Pats (me) versus the Jets at Gillette. Hoping the install goes quickly so I can get it in before bed or heading off to work.

Then on to slider and roster tweaking as I’m mostly an offline player.

Straight to my Lions connected franchise. I’ll adjust my franchise/game settings but leave xp/penalty sliders alone for the first season while I see how it plays out. I mix playing and simming games during the season. I don’t engage in any other mode.

Settings then check out the rosters. Then head to practice mode and start running some plays. It’s my pretend training camp until I start my official franchise.

Tradition is to watch an AI v AI game so that I can see what's new etc. After that, this year I'll probably go online and get me a H2H game in.

Work On My Draft Classes For My Eventual Franchise, and Play H2H Online.

Load in, skip the intro stuff, download any rosters available, and get my franchise mode rolling.

Re: M23 Release Day Plans?

Early on I dive deep into fantasy drafts. I’ll do 3-4 to see when players go and then really do my draft. Then once NFL season gets started I usually do my hometown Packers franchise soon after and stick with that through the cycle. No patience to play h2h online anymore.

Re: M23 Release Day Plans?

Read this board to see if EA were true to their promises.

If they fixed some of the basic "polish" that will be telling.
Things like the "coaching points" remaining on screen and all those really basic issues. If they are not resolved, it will tell us how serious EA really were.

Re: M23 Release Day Plans?

- I load that bad boy up & play the introduction game to get a better feel of the game & incase there’s an achievement

-Download the latest roster update & correct anything missing

- Do some exhibition games with my Steelers by myself to get used to my strengths & weakness until my brothers & friends come

-Every year I try to make Madden’s release date a big thing at my house & yes I’m looked at as a big Madden nerd lol

Re: M23 Release Day Plans?

If the game play against the CPU feels as good as it did in the beta I'll be playing Play Now games and I'll start my franchise once the regular season starts and the rosters are set.

I also have enjoyed Ultimate Team the past 3 years so I'll be spending a good amount of time in the solo challenges , solo battles , and online head to head season mode. Ultimate Team gets a lot of attention from EA throughout the year and they did a decent job in 22 keeping things interesting so I expect 23 to be good as well .

Re: M23 Release Day Plans?

I'm stuck to PS4 again, so I'll get the game and just go ahead and match my current M22 sliders to see what real differences are there. I'll do a soft reset back to default after that and probably won't start a true franchise until week one official rosters are set. I'm still going to be the Washington Commanders first run, though.
