Electronic Arts officially announced Madden NFL 23, confirming the soccer game’s release date with a trailer unveiling its FieldSENSE technology.
Kodoani.com – This past December, legendary football coach and commentator John Madden passed away. It’s only true that the Madden NFL franchise has a chance to celebrate its name with Madden NFL 23 this year.

FieldSENSE is notably only enabled on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Hit Everything offers more than 3,500 new animations related to ball handling, Skill-based Pass adds a pass speedometer for accurate throws, 360° Cuts allows players to make cuts harder to run with the ball and WR vs. DB Battles focuses on fast movements without shadows.
