Madden 22 Beta Impressions

[Armor and Sword]

Practice has consequences both good and bad!

High intensity full pads? More XP and highest boosts.

But injuries and less fatigue recovery can happen!!

You can split the reps between starters and back ups or all starters or all backups! And this can be done at all positions.

Want only your back up RB’s getting reps so you can rest your workhorse this week? You can do it.

Man they put some effort into franchise mode folks. Real stuff that we had been asking for.

An upgrade for your weekly training and development is unlocking each tier of the “after school tutoring” skill for HC Talent.

You can add up to three additional Extra Focus players for weekly XP bonus in practice.

No new abilities or ratings New menus are welcome but will be confusing at first Coaching tree abilities are hit and miss. A lot of old stuff was put in there like xp boosts. Nothing crazy. League history tab now goes back to 1967 News section is kind of a jumbled mess I hope they make it sleeker. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I agree with everything you mentioned here..

Also, the season recap is nice but it seems they are off by a year. It acts like the Bucs and Chiefs just played Super Bowl 56 and the Chiefs and Packers played in Super Bowl 2.

Pretty cool if it actually works.... Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

The weather already impacted those areas in the past. Domes also impacted kick distances and accuracy. Denver also saw a kick power increase. We were able to see all of the modifiers and the values EA had set by default when modding Madden on PC.

Maybe they have expanded on those mechanics more and it is why they're mentioning it now?

Because it’s a question. This is impressions only.

Since when? The guys with the beta said we could ask questions and they were answering them until whatever this nonsense is... The people asking for beta codes didn't need to be in here but we've always been able to ask questions to people with the beta in this thread in the past and until like 5 minutes ago...

Rookie ratings have been drastically toned down!

Miami Dolphins:

Jaylen Waddle 58 OVR
Jaelan Phillips 59 OVR

Trevor Lawrence 62 OVR

So that gives you a nice idea about the ratings spreads! Glad to see this. You really gotta develop your draft picks!!!

Most notably their awareness ratings are very low. As they should be going to the pro game.

Questions can go in a separate thread. We don’t need to be seeing a bunch of questions in here, just impressions.
