Yesterday was Madden Day. Electronic Arts revealed the covers of Madden NFL 23 to celebrate the life of legendary coach John Madden. To continue the celebration, today, EA Sports is releasing new details about the upcoming game.
A new major feature going into this year’s Madden is Fieldsense. This new feature is more of a combination of changes to mechanics than a single advancement. Kicking off the changes is a new way to branch the animation trees for the character. What that means for the player is quicker cuts and turns. Now, with updated animation branching, the player has more movement options that feel like real world interactions. This could mean a lot for the ground game. The control changes enable course correction for missed tackles or new ways of finding holes for running backs.
Another control change, though optional, is a revamp of the passing game. The new game has made it easier to lead receivers and mess with defensive cover. Once the receiver is in a good place, you can place your passes right where you want them to go.
This year also focuses on the battle between two opposed positions: wide receiver and defensive back. Wide receivers and defensive backs play their own game within the greater game of football. Knowing when to cut or when to cover can make the difference between winning and losing. New release moves for receivers and counter press moves for backs bring another level of authenticity and control.
