Madden NFL 22

Like other sports games created by EA Sports, Madden NFL 22 is a simulator of a specific discipline, in this case American football. The game offers faithfully reproduced players and numerous licensed teams, which we can lead to successive victories at will. The game contains many game modes, designed both for one player and for several.

Mechanics

The gameplay in Madden NFL 22 has not undergone major changes in relation to its predecessors. Its goal is still to imitate sports competitions in a credible way, while providing fun at the same time. As a player we have a lot of control over the players and we can easily perform complex actions with them such as passes, charges, rushing, etc. At the same time, we have to control their stamina, which decreases as the game goes on. Each of the athletes has different statistics divided into several categories, determining how effective he is in different types of actions.

A new system, called Dynamic Gameday, has debuted in the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. It introduces changes to three elements: Gameday Atmosphere, Gameday Momentum and Star-Driven AI. The Atmosphere contributes to the development of player and fan behaviour in order to recreate the atmosphere of the matches as closely as possible, for example by increasing the variety of celebrations and the cheering of the fans. Momentum is a mechanic that allows you to view parameters that affect gameplay, such as the type of ground or the dominance of one team in a match. Star-Driven AI, on the other hand, is a system that collects information about how players drive specific teams, which the game then uses to improve the artificial intelligence of the players.

Game modes

The game allows you to play in several different game modes: Franchise, Face of the Franchise, Madden Ultimate Team and play single matches. In Franchise we lead our team through the whole season, playing not only matches, but also taking care of trainings and fulfilling imposed scenarios. In the role-playing Face of the Franchise mode, we control the fate of the player we created, deciding on the team he plays for, impersonating him during games, participating in press conferences, etc. Ultimate Team consists of building your own team using players you draw by opening packs of cards, and playing matches with other players over the network.

Technical aspects

Madden NFL 22 presents a high level of graphic design. Special attention is paid to the detailed reproduction of players, stadiums and realistic behavior of characters, including fans and team coaches.
