Madden 23 is well in development, and SGO has learned of some major new gameplay features fans can expect with the next installment of the game from EA Sports.
Everything is currently being tested within the company and still is in development. That said, these changes will see major overhauls to the game’s tackling and passing systems.
Madden 23 Gameplay Features
Hit Everything
The first new system is known as “Hit Everything”.
This system, according to EA Sports, will see the game take a step back from “animation driven gameplay”. The Hit Everything system will see players have more “organic and consistent tackling results when trying to hit players around the field”. Players will use the Hit Stick to trigger “physics driven animations that reward who you are as a tackler and how much impact you brought to a pile.”
Tackle Battles
What appears to be a new minigame within the game, Tackle Battles happen when a user attempts to perform a Conservative Tackle with A/X. This minigame will see users mash the A/X button to either make the tackle or break a tackle. During a Tackle Battle, the ball carrier will be more susceptible to fumbles depending on various attributes. Players will be required to use various mechanics like protecting the ball and give-up to avoid the various hit stick and strip attempts from defenders.
Skill-Based Passing
The biggest overhaul coming in terms of gameplay based on the information so far is to the passing game in Madden 23. Madden 23 gameplay will feature a brand new skill-based passing system that will allow players to have more control over the placement, power, and/or accuracy of their passes.
In addition to being able to toggle the system on and off — you know, like the old passing cone from years back — the skill-based passing feature will include a number of various options that can be individually set.
The full list of options available will be:
Accuracy Enabled = ON
Enabling the Accuracy Meter allows control over the outcome of the pass being accurate or inaccurate. Land the meter in the light green area for a perfect pass every time. Wait too long to release the button and you will throw an inaccurate pass.
Strength Enabled = ON
The Strength Meter appears only when the Accuracy Meter is turned off. The Strength Meter lets you visually see how much power you are putting on the pass, by filling-up the green semi-circles depending on how long you hold the pass button. This can be used to control the arc of the ball.
Short-duration hold = a higher arc, loftier pass
Medium-duration hold = a moderate arc, touch-pass
Long-duration hold = a straight-line, bullet pass
Precision Pass Ellipse (with Reticle)
Ellipse (with Reticle) Enabled = ON
displays a grey target area indicating the area of the field the receivers are able to reach the ball. You can steer the placement of the ball by moving the Reticle within the target area using the L-Stick
Grid-Snapping = ON
The reticle will snap to predetermined areas of the ellipse (target area grey circle) based on your L-stick inputs.
Free-Form Reticle
Holding RT while passing the ball unleashes free form precision passing. This allows you to place the ball anywhere inside or outside the grey target area. This extra level of control is intended to be high risk/high reward. With free-form reticle, you can place the ball anywhere you like, but your receiver may not be able to get to the ball.
Reticle Speed slider:
Reticle Speed controls how fast the reticle moves in free form mode.
Slowdown Effect:
Lastly, Slowdown is an option that allows you to slow down the game at the moment you execute a pass, allowing users more time to aim the pass set strength/accuracy meters. The lower the number, the more the game is slowed-down when making a pass.
Examples of the slowdown effect are:
- 25 = game slows down to 25% of normal Madden speed
- 50 = game slows to 50% of normal Madden speed
- 75 = game slows to 75% of normal Madden speed
- 100 = No slowdown effect. Game runs at normal Madden speed
Madden 23 is expected to launch this August for console and PC. Stay tuned for more on Madden 23 gameplay and more from SGO.

Features? These types of announcements are only exciting to the Madden Sycophants.
These aren’t features these are game breaking bugs and glitches, that are DAF. This is revisited Passing Cone BS.
These are just, Gimmicks, that the Internet sycophants; like Michael Shaw get excited about.
That’s why Madden sucks every year.
QB play is a throw meter system for Baseball.
There; you don’t need a big excited, long winded, short on substance, & explanation, that Madden game play still sucks.
The game play and animations still suck, because they don’t ever fix the issues that causes the problems, they plaster over it and hope no one notices.
Get the basics right first, Tackles Throwing etc then move on to more ambitious game play to get Michael excited.
This is 2006 all over again. Madden just got absolutely destroyed by 2K5 a $19.95 to Maddens $49.99.
Then the Game became exclusive to the biggest hacks in game development.
These gimmicks, is just Madden, reaching into its bag of BS, after getting slammed by the fan base so hard, that even local news journalists picked up on.
Now we get Baseball throw meter system to play QB. Not remotely excited. I’ll be saving my money until I get a lot more info.
This Looks like 06 again.

If this game is still the ps4 version on PC, I will never buy another EA title. I’ve had every Madden since 92 besides last year. If they give PC players the shaft again, I’m out.
We will have gpus coming out that are over 5x stronger than console this summer, and cpus that are, also, much stronger, as well as gen 5 ssd’s that are 3x faster than the ps5’s. I sold my console. PC is the fastest growing platform. EA and 2k don’t have the luxury of sitting on the sidelines for an entire third year. Either give us the normal games, or don’t release it at all. If you’re worried about anti-cheat, there are many solutions for that, and it doesn’t need to be cross play.
I want to be excited about the changes, taking a year off as I did, and hopefully PC gets the best version of the game, as it should be. No one should be playing an app based on a system built in 2013 on their 4090.
Blah blah blah. I laugh my ass off if pc version getting same from ps4 and Xbox one for this game ????
Ea sports company goes behind peoples back and decides to monopolize the NFL LICENSE BY MAKING legally developed ARCADES nightmarish disastrous arcade football games with overpowered powerups and profiting off of the madden NFL 23 cover athlete being john madden IN THE FIRST place OF THE DISRESPECT TOWARDS THE DEAD AND TURNED MUT into a pay to win gambling casino of MICROTRANSACTIONS gambling throughout ultimate team of Ea sports company definitely being evil here of Ruining the foundation of THE REAL ASPECT OF Simulation football games AND ALSO DESTROYING THE SPORTS GAMING COMMUNITY OF THE ENTIRE Gaming market HERE OF Clinton Oldenburg,THE DEVELOPERS OF THE MADDEN Community GOES OFF PROGRAMMING THE CPU OF THE COMPUTER TO CHEAT on certain aspect OF CERTAIN players IS WHAT IS DEFINITELY BOILS down too,OBVIOUSLY ,MAYBE NFL 23 NEEDS SHUT down for this and the nfl license permanently needs taken away from electronic arts company permanently and maybe shreded towards PIECES AND THE EXCLUSIVE LICENSE also of making college football 24 before that game BECOMES A GAMING DISASTER also?
Not sure I’ve ever seen a game get one person that spams comments so negatively. I mean soooo many posts. If you don’t like it Michael, please don’t buy and move on. It’s annoying having to sift through drunk guys post after post just trying to see if anyone has any other info.

Yep, everyone is angry because glitching the game, and money plays will be more difficult. Welcome to a Madden game that requires true skill to win games. Congratulations EA Sports. Just as expected, 90% of Madden Players will cry and complain. Now let’s see all of you glitchers try to win legitimate games. ?
This.
The lack of player-driven mechanic skill that came about in late 2000’s/early 2010’s is what killed my interest in the game.
Unless you playing multiplayer, it’s all about the skill of the player combined with their playcalling rather than just relying on the money plays year-in and year-out.
I don’t agreed with theese features,madden nfl 23 in alot of trouble for putting this stuff in games because nobody asked for face of the franchise and ultimate team ruining football games for the Last decade Really Year AFTER YEAR
stop it!!!
You’re just mad because it will actually take skill now to win.
I’m not buying madden nfl 23 because it’s all about ultimate team and face of the franchise of fing bullshit year after year,i used to like madden nfl before utimate team was intruduce before madden nfl 10 like madden nfl 07 because it’s all about the cash of ravenue of mut garbage of a worthless NFL football game of sports ball every goddamn year.
You have no class if you think madden ultimate team is bad. It’s the whole reason for the game. If you don’t like it don’t play. It’s not the game for you if you suck at it.
