There was going to come a point though where this innovation year after year could no longer be sustained Mut 23 Coins; Madden 23 is that year.

We're at the end of this console generation so it's not entirely surprising to see the pace of progress slow a bit. However, what hurts Madden 23 more is that not only do the improvements feel minimal compared to previous years, Madden 23 also takes a few steps back in some areas that may divide and frustrate some of the player base.

The disconnect starts with the theme for this year which is introduced right away to the player: the return of the Pro Bowl. Madden 23 hypes this up right at the start of the game as some kind of major new feature. Anyone that follows the NFL seriously knows that the Pro Bowl is a total joke. The announcers in-game unironically point out how the Pro Bowl tends to have high scoring games and never acknowledge that the reason for that is that none of the players care to actually try.

And fans, uninterested in watching an exhibition not even played at half-effort, haven't taken the Pro Bowl seriously for decades. There's a reason the NFL has experimented with a trying to find a format that isn't a total bore over the years. So this “triumphant” return of the Pro Bowl falls super flat, and just left me feeling like EA was either asked by the NFL to hype the Pro Bowl up Madden 23 Coins Buy, or that they were desperate to find something to get players excited about this year and in either case, it left a weird taste in my mouth.
