In an effort to better understand where Madden 22 stands a little more than a month after launch, I caught up with executive producer Seann Graddy, who generally denies that Madden 22’s issues are as serious as they are made out to be on Reddit and other venues. I opined in my own review that it was a “grab bag of decent – if frequently underwhelming – ideas hurt by poor execution,” and that fans hoping for a large leap forward on PS5 and Xbox Series X were apt to be disappointed. The mood around this year’s release has once again been fairly negative, with Madden 22’s Metacritic score sitting around 68 and user reviews being much lower. The lengthy patch notes touch on almost every part of the game, from player likenesses to progression issues in Face of the Franchise. The update marks the release of the long-awaited scouting update, which comprehensively overhauls one of franchise mode’s key systems. EA is releasing a major Madden NFL 22 title update today, addressing many of the issues that have bedeviled the community over the past month.
