The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of the game are getting what EA is calling the “FieldSense Gameplay System.” This includes new defensive animations, like mid-air hits, tackle assists, and more.

Normally an exceptional football player gets featured on the cover of the new Madden game each year. This year’s installment, however, features none other than the man himself: John Madden. The legendary sports announcer passed away in December 2021. So it’s a fitting tribute to the man who lent his name to this long-running video game franchise to place him front and center this year. Fun fact: the Madden series dates all the way back to 1988.
