Madden 22 Review
Our Mike Straw reviewed Madden 22 recently. Here’s a little piece of his gameplay breakdown:
“Two Man Under and Cover 1 against streaks are both automatic big plays or touchdowns if your opponent has a smidge of speed on the outside because safeties are so laughably bad — I’ll get to more on this in a second — that they act as if they forgot what assignment they had and start to freestyle towards the middle of the field. So because of the huge issues with man, I can see many favoring zone defense until they at least fix the terrible safety play whenever they have a deep blue assignment.
Now playing zone… (sigh) Playing zone hasn’t been great either — maybe it’s engage eight’s time to shine!”
