While people are debating the merits of Madden 24, I'm just now getting around to 23 via Game Pass.
I think there's fun to be had with the game, and it's not as bad as its reputation, but it does have issues. Movement in the current engine feels stiff. Ball carrier moves feel ineffective, and almost like they are happening in slow motion, which make running less fun. The momentum system in the game, while a fun twist, also seems too overpowered at times.
Franchise mode is just ok. The menu design leaves something to be desired and the menu speed is laggy. The menus lag in a way that should be unacceptable on modern hardware.
Madden 23 is not a bad game, but it should be so much better.
