All Maddens are the same since 16, they basically just update the roster and add a number to the title. Physics are awful for a game in todays age, if this game came 6 years ago, I’d be impressed. Pay to win MUT is insane, even if I do pay into it and spend let’s say an additional $50, it’s pointless. People spend hundreds and you basically only get matched up with those teams. My MUT overall is 86 and I get matched with 97+ teams on multiplayer. I requested a refund for this game. It is trash and I think they need to rebuild madden from the ground up. Take off 1-2 years of games and rebuild the entire thing. The next madden should be Madden 2025, that gives time to build a solid polished game. Because even if they were to release Madden 23 and Madden 24, it would be the same game again with a roster update.
TL;DR: Same game, different year. Better off buying an older Madden for half the cost.
