Question for pc madden players

[crenk]

I am debating on making the jump to PC for madden presuming ps4/Xbox will continue to make only minimal improvements to franchise over the foreseeable future....my question is, in what ways does the pc version allow the user to change the out of the box experience for those that want a better franchise experience? What is better about the experience?

Worlds better because PC modders can change just about everything about the game, unlike what can be done on the console. Heck there's even a full college mod so you can play with NCAA teams.

Mods are great. They can’t completely make the game what it should be but they make it tolerable. On top of gameplay mods like Revival, you get college football mods and even XFL and CFL mods. You get custom uniforms(every new uniform for the upcoming season is already in the game).

If I do purchase madden going forward it will be on pc for sure

Mods help, and you can customize much more on PC than on console, but at the end of the day, Madden is still trash in terms of gameplay, immersion, and replayability.

Are the mods hard to apply? I've been thinking about getting Madden for PC but not real sure about it because I'm not sure about how to make the mods work.

No, it's super easy. I would join the Madden Modding discord. I wouldn't buy the console version if you have a choice.

Really just takes some basic computer knowledge. Have to download a program or 2, then download the mods, then apply them in one of the programs.

It’s not hard at all and there are plenty tutorials out there to help you.

Two weeks ago I bought a PC and it's totally another world than consoles. My hope now is that the next-gen game isn't just exclusive to PS5 and Xbox X.

You should be good. I know most Xbox games are also on pc and it’s rumored Sony will start releasing exclusives on pC as well

Madden on Xbox will have smart delivery, so who will buy a game for Xbox One will have the update free on NextGen Console. On PC we don't know how will it work, maybe we have to buy two different games if we want to play since August. This is my concern.

Why would you have to buy two different games for PC?

Because there will be two games, one for the Old-Gen and one for the New-Gen, we need to understand if PC players will receive smart delivery update like Xbox players.

There will be one game for PC, most likely. You'll get the next gen experience at launch, and it will be up to your rig how many of the new features you can run. You may need to upgrade to take full advantage.

On a somewhat related note, DIRT 5 will run in 4K @ 120fps on Xbox Series X. I wonder if Madden will run at 4K120 on PC and XSX.

I hope you are right but I don't think Madden will launch the Next-Gen game 3 months before the new consoles. Most likely there will be an update for PC gamers too and this is what I want.

Re: Question for pc madden players

Assuming they continue PC releases, PC will likely be the PS4/XB1 release for at least Madden 21, and possibly for longer. History suggests EA struggles to dedicate the resources to get the PC version updated to the next gen release when there are console generation changes and they have an older and newer version going. As Saro mentions, it's very unlikely PC gets the next gen release before the new consoles even hit.

I could be wrong but I think FIFA has had this issue more recently - took a while for PC to get the latest code.

History also suggests this isn't a bad thing necessarily, at least not for a year or two while the next gen version gets more established.
