Madden NFL 23 delivers the ultimate, authentic 11v11 football simulation experience. Headlined by the game changing impact of the FieldSENSE Gameplay System - a new foundation for consistent, ultra-realistic gameplay - only available on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S versions, players will have more control in their hands at all positions in every part of Madden NFL 23.   

Through new technology and mechanics, FieldSENSE delivers a gameplay flow with realistic outcomes on the field. FieldSENSE leverages animation branching technology to enable Hit Everything, which redefines the physical interactions during the play allowing players to fight for every inch and change the outcome of tackles - whether mid-air or on the ground. It also provides new mechanics such as 360 Cuts, giving players the ability to change direction on a dime while controlling ball-carriers, and Skill Based Passing, a new way to pass that offers players the ultimate control to place the ball exactly where they want, with the power they want.

Regardless of the mode, FieldSENSE changes gameplay across Madden NFL 23, giving players the control to showcase their skills on the sticks, and to become gamechangers on the field. Coupled with a multitude of improvements to core gameplay systems that upgrade the football fundamentals like zone coverage, the pass rush, and containing mobile quarterbacks, Madden NFL 23 hits a new level of gameplay balance. 

Presentation across the game also gets a boost with new Player Body Types, gear and visuals rebuilt from the ground up using new NFL player full body and game day gear scans for the first time. Hundreds of new player and coach likenesses have also been scanned for launch, with more delivered all season long. Plus, new player-focused 4K touchdown cameras that recreate the latest NFL broadcasts, lead to unprecedented NFL realism.

FieldSense is an all-new foundation for consistent, ultra-realistic gameplay that gives players more control all over the field, in every single game mode. Fueled by animation branching technology, FieldSense makes gameplay more varied and realistic, thanks to physics-driven outcomes.

FieldSense comes to life in Madden NFL 23 in four major ways, through the following new control mechanics: Hit Everything, Skill-Based Passing, 360° Cuts, and WR vs DB Battles.

Hit Everything

Hit Everything takes defensive coverage to an entirely new level, using six key components that offer fresh gameplay interactions and over 3,500 new animations to give you precise control over every impact, tackle, and collision for more authentic outcomes. The six components are: Hit the Pile, Stand-up Tackles, Hitting Blocks, Mid-air Knockouts, and Add-on Blocks.

Skill-based Passing

Skill-Based Passing is designed to provide quarterbacks with expert-level control over every throw, using a new passing meter to dictate power and trajectory, plus a new mechanic for pinpoint precision. Skill-Based Passing enables you to lead receivers open and place the ball in the perfect spot where only they will snag it. Make back-shoulder throws, place it into the perfect spot on a corner route, hit an impeccable end zone fade, or lob it over the defense on a streak run. Skill-Based Passing opens up the entire Madden NFL 23 offense in a whole new way.

360° Cuts

360° Cuts provides exact control to trigger hard cuts while running with the ball anywhere on the field. Previously, players could only rely on their basic movement to choose between hard cuts or rounded turns, but now you decide when and where to cut so that the ball carrier finds the perfect lane as soon as you do.

WR vs DB Battles

One-on-one battles in the secondary get a massive upgrade too, as FieldSense introduces branching WR releases and cuts, defensive back presses and counters, and an all-new defensive evade mechanic. While all of these are available in every game mode, WR vs. DB Battles have been created specifically with player-locked modes like Face of the Franchise: The League and Squads in Superstar KO and Madden Ultimate Team in mind.

Face of the Franchise: The League is back with a sharper focus on building a legendary NFL career across five skill positions, including cornerback for the first time, and the goal of joining the coveted Madden NFL 99 Club. FieldSENSE brings player-specific mechanics all across the game and because The League is a player-locked mode, regardless of the chosen position in Face of the Franchise, there are new mechanics to master. New additions to Franchise Mode include top player requests like all-new Free Agency and Contract enhancements, improvements to Scouting, and updates to the Hub and Trade Logic, putting players in the owner’s chair to call the shots from the front office. Simplified team-building and convenient competition in Madden Ultimate Team allow fans to assemble the most powerful roster of current stars and legends of the NFL.
