NEW GAMEPLAY MECHANICS

Only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in Madden NFL 23, an all-new suite of user-friendly gameplay control mechanics lets you affect every play no matter where you are on the field in ways never before possible.

360-degree Cuts:
Break off more big plays: Whether you're a running back, wide receiver after the catch, or returning a kick, new 360-degree Cuts give you the freedom and fluidity as the ball-carrier to hit the gaps you want to, plant-and-go, and elude defenders using Left Trigger/L2 and a well-timed flick of your stick.

Skill-Based Passing:
Drop dimes all over the field: Lead your receivers open, drop back-shoulder throws into tight windows, and place every pass where only your receiver can catch it with surgical accuracy thanks to this all-new way to pass. Skill-based passing introduces a new accuracy reticle and passing meter.

Hit Everything:
Wreak hit-stick havoc: Redefining defensive pursuit, new Hit Everything mechanics let you be more disruptive on defense. New animation branching technology in Madden NFL 23 enables next-gen Hit-Stick physics so you can perform mid-air knockouts, hit the pile to assist in tackles already in progress, blow up blocks, and force turnovers with stand-up tackles.

WR vs DB Battles:
Win the battle off the line: A suite of new wide receiver release moves and defensive back counter press mechanics make for some fancy footwork and crucial 1v1 battles off the line.


MODE DESCRIPTIONS:

Franchise:
Call the shots from the front office: Plan and strategize like an NFL head coach with refined scouting, staff management, and weekly strategy features to take your Franchise to the top. New athlete motivations like team location and salary demands factor into contract negotiations and add to the drama of NFL free agency within Franchise. Updated Trade Logic AI represents the value of star players more accurately for fair and more realistic offers.

Face of the Franchise: The League:
Play your way into the history books: The League drops you into your fifth NFL season at a skill position of your choice (QB, WR, RB, CB, MLB) and you're seeking a fresh start with a new team. Negotiate a one-year "prove-it" contract with one of 32 NFL teams and show out with great on-field performance to earn rewards and level up. New position-specific mechanics brought to life by FieldSENSE and player-focused cameras bring you closer to the action and add to gameplay depth by allowing you to dominate every snap, from anywhere on the field. The addition of New Drive Goals and Drive Summaries allow you to tweak your experience throughout a game and get feedback and rewards based on how well you play.
