I could do a deep dive on this subject, but I'd rather not waste my time (it's essentially pointless). Short version: Madden, in its current form, exists to function as a MUT cash-cow. The code needs to be gutted and entirely rebuilt from scratch. The only way we're going to get a fresh, new, simulation-style NFL gaming experience is when the exclusivity rights finally expire and another company takes the reigns. That's the reality of the situation.

I honestly think you didn’t play the beta bruh! On god you couldn’t have and came to that conclusion!

You’re gonna have to elaborate or you’re just a plain out ***** no matter what!

Do settings/sliders from beta transfer over to main game (I saved my settings prior to beta closing)?

Yeah, I get the hate Madden has gotten and the copy paste criticism has had warrant in the past. Anybody that says the 23 beta feels the same is either lying or hasn't played it. There were things happening every game that I've never seen happen in Madden before. Was it perfect? No, of course not. But it had dynamic gameplay/outcomes, and that has really been my number one want for this game since 2005. I am more hyped for 23 than I have been for Madden in so long

Unfortunately not. Nothing from the Beta was saved.

wouldn't they have to tie the animations to frame rate to make different game speeds? That's not a good design choice imo.

Did anyone who played the Beta mess around with Coach Mode? Did they make any changes(Eliminate the need to hold a button while on defense, No longer have to manually kick FG's, etc)?

I didn't, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. Coach mode players are even less numerous than PC players, and they've but PC players on the back burner for years.



EDIT-shoutout to the genius who added that emoji. LMAO it's perfect.

Snaps from the center and long snapper need to be redone. The ball warps to the QB/Punter/Kicker at light speed. It throws timing off and is probably the reason why QBs drop back so far.
