Critic Reviews
- Madden 22 is also plagued by bugs. Players will freeze mid-animation in games, there are clipping issues, and crashes. Face of the Franchise also suffers from out-of-sync voiceovers and subtitles during cutscenes, and sometimes the voiceovers just disappear altogether.
Sophie Halliday · Sep 22, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Madden 22 is the next year’s instalment on the franchise and I feel it’s gone back a step. Yes, it looks graphically better, but otherwise it’s really not that much different to previous instalments. The career mode is a roll-forward from previous years, as are the achievements. EA could do so much more with the Madden franchise and it’s a shame they haven’t executed it as well as I’d hope.
Ian Wray · Sep 19, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Madden is as compelling as it ever was, but it can’t escape the slight feeling that things are spread a little too thin. Improvements to Franchise mode are welcome and help the experience, but they are smaller than perhaps they deserve. With so many different ways to play football, it’s a little difficult to get in invested in any one game.
Patrick Dane · Sep 17, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Madden NFL 22 definitely tries to get things right, but the lack of competition turns it into its own worst enemy. The rush to release a new game every year during a period in which game development takes more time than ever results in an incomplete and bug-filled launch.
Bruno Costa · Sep 07, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Madden NFL 22 I feel is the first Madden in a long time that has added something significant, with a few smaller additions as well, without taking steps backwards. The full revamp of the Franchise Mode is really great and finally something done for the fans that isn’t around MUT or selling packs.
Jordan Hawes · Sep 07, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - When everything's working as intended, Madden 22 marks a recent high point for the series. The gameplay doesn't move the needle much mechanically, but changes to the AI make for a more interesting and varied challenge, while Gameday Atmosphere and Momentum brings every team's fans to life to palpable effect.
Richard Wakeling · Aug 23, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Some things are better, some things are the same, some things are still broken; it’s a guessing game each year what will be up or down, and in the end, it all ends up at the same result: a passable but uninspired football simulation.
Ed McGlone · Aug 23, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Madden 22 goes for broke on improving Franchise mode after years on the backburner, and it mostly works, even as it comes at the expense of most other modes in a pandemic-struck year.
Mark Delaney · Aug 21, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - For every enjoyable new thing in Madden NFL 22, there's something else that's equally as frustrating. The real saving grace that makes the game a solid experience is the upgraded gameplay and graphics for next-gen. If you like Madden, you'll have fun, even if you get annoyed from time to time, but the franchise still has a long way to go if it wants to catch up with the other sports games on the market.
Charlie Ridgely · Aug 20, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Madden NFL 22 takes big strides forward from last year’s game, with the focus on Franchise being overdue but appreciated all the same. We like the direction EA Sports has taken this year, with even the new Gameday Momentum system adding immersion to every individual match.
