Madden 22 Beta Questions

Re: Madden 22 Beta Questions

For NextGen, Has the CPU QB pocket presence/movement changed at all?
Are field goals by the CPU more unpredictable? i.e. is every FG under 50 yards (including extra points) always made?

Re: Madden 22 Beta Questions

In franchise mode do CPU controlled teams have access to the same options as the user? Do they get scenarios this year? Otherwise it'll make leagues even more unbalanced for user teams.

Is the way player progression changed at all?

Re: Madden 22 Beta Questions

In franchise mode do we have a separate option on play cooldown limits for offense and defense, or is it how it was in last Madden?

Re: Madden 22 Beta Questions

I don't know how I would be able to tell. They get dev trait increases from what I saw but I have no idea if they're getting scenarios or not.

Not that I can tell. It's still xp based with XP sliders like prior years.

Small sample size but the CPU QB (Mayfield) in my game spun out of pressure and rolled out and finally just threw it away after more pressure came, but it was something I don't remember seeing before as typically they just take the sack or throw it to the sidelines.

Re: Madden 22 Beta Questions

As soon as I compile a nice amount of game time I will try to answer a lot of questions in here.

Re: Madden 22 Beta Questions

Can you still actually participate in the practice sessions? Are teams still in full GameDay gear? Do we have the position drills back?

Re: Madden 22 Beta Questions

how is the league player stats menu this year do they show which team they play on.
Or is it the same.

The Skills Trainer drill portion of practice which earns XP no longer takes place. Players instead get XP the moment you install your weekly game plan (it’s a simulated step). I did not see any options in Franchise to perform any of the Skills Trainer concept drills.

I did not see any new drills, though I actually don’t think Skills Trainer is in the beta at all, so we may have to wait for launch on that. I recall reading in the Game Informer article that EA confirmed the absence of individual player mini games (such as those in PS2 Madden).

You do still have the option to do open practice after you simulate your weekly gameplan install.

Skills trainer IS in the beta under exhibition, but nothing new in there

During weekly gameplan install, you can choose whether to practice at full or half intensity, and per-position whether starters / backups get more reps (you can also split reps).

Full intensity practice earns more XP, but you incur the risk of players suffering short-term injuries. I believe if you do half-intensity practice there is no injury risk, but I’m not 100% sure of this.

Practice intensity and starter / backup rep distribution also affects season-long fatigue levels, but I don’t know to what extent yet because I’ve only done a couple practices. Presumably a player’s Stamina rating is penalized if you keep running full intensity practices over the course of many weeks.

Re: Madden 22 Beta Questions

Is there any change in the kicking game? Cameras , missed FG’s , harder?
