Kansas City Chiefs Player Criticizes Madden NFL 23

gamerant.com:

Madden NFL 23 officially launched this past week. It included major features to the football game's franchise mode, as well as dramatic improvements to gameplay for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game. Whether Electronic Arts had done enough to improve Madden NFL 23 compared to previous iterations of the annual franchise is another matter entirely, though. At least one Madden NFL 23 player, Mecole Hardman Jr. of the Kansas City Chiefs, has some harsh criticism to share.

Hardman Jr. is a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs and was part of the team that won Super Bowl LIV in 2020. He has a close relationship with the Madden franchise, even hosting a promotional partnership with EA to give out Madden NFL 21 codes in 2020. Yet sometimes a franchise's biggest fans can be its harshest critics. In a recent post to Twitter, Hardman Jr. told his followers that Madden NFL 23 might be «the worst Madden ever.»

Unfortunately, Hardman Jr. doesn't elaborate on why he's unhappy with the latest release in theMadden franchise. The replies to his Twitter post are relentless, though. There are multiple clips of strange bugs from Madden NFL 23, specific complaints regarding Madden NFL 23's changes to offense, and general complaints about EA not changing enough between annual releases. Hardman Jr. seems content to let his statement stand on its own, though.

While Hardman Jr. didn't speak about the quality of Madden NFL 23 any further, he did have to laugh at a joke from former NFL star Chad Johnson. Johnson replied to Hardman Jr.'s criticism of Madden NFL 23, saying," Check your new rating after practice after this comment," with an emoji showing a chart with a downward trend.
