Madden 23 PS4

[LinvilleGorge]

Real quick, are the franchise mode improvements on the PS4 version? I've read conflicting reports. On sale for $30 and the newest version I have is '20. All I do is play offline franchise mode so if the franchise mode improvements aren't on the PS4 version then there's really no reason for me to even spend $30.

I'll move this over the Lounge after I get the answer. Just wanna get as many eyes as possible to get that answer quick.

To get your best experience of all modes in madden.. you need to have a next gen console. I’m sorry to report.

The only features I care about are the improvements to franchise mode. I don't care about better animations, new intros, etc. All I care about is franchise mode.  Is it significantly improved in the PS4 version or no? If no, then I won't bother. I'm not buying a PS5 for awhile.

Don't have it, but from what I know it has some cool new features like hiring coordinators and stuff...And when I say new, I mean bringing back a feature Madden 12 had. If you already have 20, really no reason at all to get 22.

Now Madden 08? I'd pay 100 bucks for that game.

Only have the PS5 version but it's definitely improved on all fronts. So if they moved that to last gen at least the gameplay part it may be worth the $30.

Depends on what you mean by improvements.

If by you mean, mechanically 1:1 with next gen, then yeah sure. Everything is there.

If by "a big leap in logic from Madden 22" then depressingly no, for every good thing abt Madden 23 there's 2 or 3 more frustrating step backs. On top of that, while next gen load times aren't great, On PS4/Xbone they're unplayably slow. 

If you want sim poo and don't care abt gameplay atm, I'd look into Axis Football, even on a lower spec PC you should be able to run the sim there and I've heard good things abt the sim and customization options.

Expecting improvement from madden is asking a lot

I have PS4 and Madden 23. Way too often, a save error locks me out of a franchise. Can’t open it so it’s lost. Frustrating.

My son and I did a franchise on 22 and started another one on 23. Seems more or less that same to me, but the in-game player movent has been tweaked and feels a little better IMO.

Movement is all they adjust year to year.

From what I have been told, similar to any time a new generation starts, last-gen versions are essentially glorified roster updates. No new anything.

Madden/EA doesn’t care about franchise mode lol. It’s all about MUT and in game purchases.

It doesn’t help that EA has a contract in place with the NFL where they are the only dev allowed to create an NFL game. Wish 2K could make NFL games again. Competition breeds ingenuity and a better product overall.
