Madden NFL 23 reviewed on Xbox Series X by Kat Bailey. Also available on PlayStation 5. Note: the Xbox One, PS4, and PC versions are significantly different with fewer new features; this review does not apply to those versions.

Madden fans will tell you that it hasn’t been a great decade for EA’s football sim. Like the NFL itself, the profits have continued to grow, but the product has suffered. Madden NFL 23, though, provides a glimpse of a light at the end of the tunnel with a handful of smart enhancements to animations, AI, and passing mechanics that make subtle but meaningful improvements to the moment-to-moment football on the field. To be clear, Madden still has a long way to go to catch up with other sports sims, the majority of which are more refined, less buggy, and have a clearer identity. After playing Madden NFL 23, though, I finally have a little optimism that it’s on the right path — maybe not an emphatic “Boom!”, but clear forward progress for a series that so desperately needs it.

Why cant they get fox and ESPN plus Thursday night copyright with different commentary instead of the same guy every game. Games look the same every year nothing has changed.

Kev. Mill says:

They should force the kids(millennials) to play a full game of Madden '92, before getting into the main menus

PMA DOOD says:

No next gen features on pc?? lol they dont realize how much money ppl put into their pc's? We don't like unoptimized games and especially games that don't have current features.

Maurice Wilson says:

Feels like nfl blitz but madden the way the players move

“A series that has consistently lagged behind it’s competitors”

Dude, it has no competitors. That’s part of the problem.

Michael says:

We all know IGN isn't a legit reviewer by now

Lyfe of J.C says:

This game is horrible!! Can't even throw without qb throwing in completely wrong direction for a interception.

oj flores says:

laggging behind competitors? What competitors

Our Trio says:

This is the worst madden ever, a step in the wrong direction, if you like arcade style football this is for you. It's a lot of gimmick and glitchy plays on here. If you're a real football fan you probably won't like this game. 2 out of 5

Yung Samus says:

For 30 bucks is okay imho

Mauro Deo says:

Is Aaron Hernandez on it?

DDGreen003 says:

Gave the pile of hot garbage a 7???….. lmaooo.. WTF?!?!… waaaaaaayyyyy 2 generous.. I’d say a 4, 5 at best

ZardChaser says:

“Still has work to do…” – EA

2010-2023

WebSlinger777 says:

Madden 23 is the most broken piece of garbage I’ve ever experienced, game modes, season passes, rewards, franchise, anything you can think of is broken and the game is downright unplayable. Do not waste your money, wait for sales or game pass. Maybe then the game will be fixed when you guys get it.

TM6 says:

For next years madden (and probably the next 4) you can just edit this videos title to said madden release and call it a day. Saved you time and money IGN

Tone Chaser says:

7!?!?!?! You're a joke now IGN

Lil Rob says:

This is a bad madden only cause the defencr will jump a interception and the wr get it

Adam Sunderman says:

still not even close to nfl 2k5

Justin Christopher says:

The game hasn't changed very much in nearly 20 years./ The game is at beast 6.3.
