![]() Since we didn’t cover last year’s upgraded next gen versions, I want to talk a bit about how Madden plays on the current gen consoles. ![]() The same menu interface of the past season is back and you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two if they were next to each other in a Highlights magazine, like “what’s different in these two images?” Many of the options and game modes are identical and I honestly didn’t expect much difference. On the surface Madden 21’s upgraded next gen version is extremely similar to this years’ Madden 22. Last season, as I mentioned in my review for Madden 21, you received a free upgrade to the next gen version once they dropped and we didn’t circle back to discuss it. Madden 22 this year launches on the previous gen and current gen (it’s not considered next gen anymore right?) at the same time. Every season I want to give EA the benefit of the doubt and hold out hope for a new or much improved experience, and every year I’m let down, so far at least. As someone that doesn’t write a whole lot of reviews for the site anymore, I still take pride in the handful of titles I choose to cover and Madden will always be one of them. My Madden reviews are becoming much like the Madden game year after year very much the same. Now that we got the cover situation out of the way let’s talk about the actual game. I guess there’s always hope for the Madden curse to return (…kidding). So EA really didn’t do right by me with this year’s cover (I mean come on, no Peyton Manning edition the year he goes into the Hall of Fame!?). ![]() That love also ties me to hate Mahomes and the Chiefs as they are in the Broncos division and by association I can NEVER root for them. ![]() ![]() As the resident Gaming Age Madden reviewer for the past five years you may know my dislike of Tom Brady and love for the Denver Broncos. Both Brady and Mahomes grace the cover of this years’ Madden and this review is not starting off on the right foot. Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes… not the way I wanted to start this year’s Madden review, but here we are. ![]()
