“Just Lazy” – Twitter Erupts with Anger Over Madden NFL 23

“Just Lazy” – Twitter Erupts with Anger Over Madden NFL 23

Twitter has not been kind to the newest edition of Madden, most of the initial criticism was due to the accuracy of player models, or lack thereof. Most of this criticism comes from the inaccuracy of offensive line player models.

Not only are they grossly inaccurate, but they also make the game look like it took a 10-year regression. Look at Nelson from Madden 22, compared to Madden NFL 23, compared to real life.

Then there are major gameplay issues with offensive tackles just whiffing horribly too often, as seen in this clip below.

Then tackling stinks. It seems that on All-Madden the user team can seemingly never make a tackle, and can never break one against the CPU, which is on display below.

Yo @EASPORTS_MUT @ClintOldenburg @EAMaddenNFL REALISTIC GAMEPLAY… WTF IS THIS SHIT? Pursuits & tackling in this game is a joke, I am sure you will fix it though by say Christmas or is that giving you to much credit? pic.twitter.com/zWc1IO4dh0

Then the simply changes that should have been made were not, which validates the “Just lazy” comment. Here we can see how the one major change that would have to be made was not, as the Super Bowl celebration displays ”Washington Football Team” instead of the Commanders, ya know the name they changed to this offseason.

Proof Madden doesn’t update franchise mode: just won the Super Bowl in Madden 23 with the Commanders. In the celebration, the game still has them as the ‘Washington Football Team’ 🤦🏼‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/TmDWAs9d0I

And then there’s an issue when a player in the NFL says it might be the worst Madden ever…

This might be the worst madden ever ..

But then you have some people taking a big-picture view, saying that the game is good and improving since the entire #FixMaddenFranchise situation.

The energy of people hating Madden is as strong as ever.

Idk man, they've done a pretty good job making the game better these two years since #FixMaddenFranchise. It's not all gonna happen overnight.

Stay on EAs ass but #Madden23 is worth playing IMO.

Just my two cents. 🤷‍♂️

#Madden23 is good.

So now, which side is true? I see both sides, especially the negative since that’s the easier one to cling on to. It’s easy to see something broken, or something frustrating and hold onto it forever. The gameplay has been an adjustment and the broken tackles and fumbles are a bit much. However, a lot of good has been done.

Amazon Not Expected to Make a Bid for EA Sports – Reports

The new free agency system is awesome, and although classes seem very stacked at times I would much rather that happen than no one hit the open market. The motivations and tags system provides a new depth of realism and emersion that was missing two years ago. A new title update for the game was posted today, and you can read all the details here, but player likeness and face scans are being added for numerous rookies, and the alternate helmets are coming (all but three, which will be added in another update) so there’s a lot to look forward to. Overall, I like Madden NFL 23, and the improvements it made.
