    Madden 22 Beta Impressions

    Thought I would go ahead and start this thread, as I understand it, it’s ok to give impressions, you just can’t stream or capture any content.

    Re: Madden 22 Beta Impressions

    If any has any questions feel free to ask, just started a Bucs franchise.


    The first thought I had when I first loaded up the beta was NCAA, the textures, music and presentation is much more ncaa like, I like that.

    Home field advantage thing adds a new element to gameplay as well.

      Can we use the other thread for asking for codes and leave this one for questions and impressions?

        Movement is 2.0 very very realistic and smooth. Wonky animations from last years next gen version are gone.

          Sadly to me graphics are the same as novembers game but fluidity is much improved across the board

            Franchise fans:

            Here is some nuggets for you on your franchise set-up menu:

            Staff Talent Cost Modifier - Multiply the amount of Staff Points needed to purchase each talent. Slowest (3X), Slower (2X), Slow (1.5X) Normal (1X) or Fast (0.5X)

            Progressive Fatigue - when on all players carry over fatigue from week to week and can be managed through “player health” in “Weekly Strategy”

            Practice Injury - when on injuries may occur during weekly training due to setting practice intensity to “Full Pads”. Or “Higher Practice Reps” in “Weekly Strategy”

            Auto Progress Talents - set to on to auto progress your teams talents

              I have a lot of thoughts so far after messing with the game for a couple hours.

              You can choose to gameplan with full or half pads. Full pads gives an extra stamina drain and injuries can occur.

              Home field advantage stuff seems cool. Nothing too OP. Although the game keeps crashing when trying to play in Lambeau.

              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.

                Just a heads up to anyone with the beta, there is a Graphics setting now. You can choose between Performance and Image Quality. Performance seems smoother overall especially during after the play scenes. Image Quality reminds more of Madden 21 on PS5.

                During Franchise, I simmed to the playoffs and got a neat scenario

                  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.

                    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.

                        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?

In M21 next gen it was clicking the right stick twice so it put you into the quick sim screen if the game didn't recognize the second click.

                          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.
