This year’s Madden NFL title is coming out on August 23. According to EA, this title is heavily based on a feature named FieldSense. This feature is introducing new passing, running, and defensive mechanics to the game, EA has exclusively developed this feature to improve the experience in this year’s Madden NFL title.
The gameplay details were recently revealed in which EA detailed what FieldSense is going to do in the game. This new feature has been developed based on player feedback and will help in making the gameplay feel more authentic and realistic.
What Does Madden NFL 23’s FieldSense Do?
This year’s Madden NFL is a special title. Last December, John Madden, the legendary American football coach, passed away. This title thus prompted EA to go back to the roots of the Madden NFL series, including digging into why the company partnered with the coach. Based on this research, the company has come up with new improvements to the gameplay.
This year’s Madden title will have John Madden on the cover. Commenting on the iconic football coach’s mentality and approach towards football, EA said, “Coach stands for authentic eleven-vs-eleven football.” “That caused us to go back and look at what inspired him, and EA, to partner originally. A lot of those principles are manifested in the FieldSense feature, and gameplay changes we made.”
With FieldSense enabled, quarter gameplay will be more accurate. The game also introduces a new reticule and passing meter which will be more accurate than the old system. The system also adds fresh pass mechanics and animations. These animations can be seen in wide receiver vs defensive back face-offs. FieldSense also offers extra control to running backs while making 360-degree cuts. The game also makes hitting every defense trigger on the controller difficult at peak moments as they will only summon more turnovers and multi-player pile-ups.
FieldSense is also bringing in reworked playbooks. From Madden NFL 23 onwards, each game will feature realistic teams who perform based on the interaction between its players. This will make the matches feel more unique, and the experience will keep differing from every match to the next. This new addition will also help players to narrow their approach down against any particular opponent.
Apart from this update, the game will also come with some graphics and interface improvements.
