Madden NFL 23 marks the football series' 34th anniversary after the first game was released in 1988. Since then, EA has taken the Madden NFL series to the top of the sports games pyramid beside FIFA and NBA 2K Mut 23 coins. However, annual releases that differ very little from each other have come to hurt Madden NFL's reputation, as fans have begun to wonder why they need to repurchase the same game every year at full price. Since NFL 23 marks an important moment in the series' history by being the first Madden NFL game since John Madden's passing, EA has gone to noteworthy lengths to try to make this year's title break bad patterns from the past.

Indeed, even last year's game serves as a reminder for what NFL 23 needs to avoid. NFL 22 did not necessarily perform poorly, but it was received with negative reviews. The game failed to improve gameplay and graphics to a degree that warranted a full-price release, and even the new elements introduced in the game were not new at all. Homefield Advantage - what critics have hailed as the best aspect of the game - has existed as a mechanic in other football games for a long time, most notably NCAA, which is developed and published by EA, too.

NFL 23 introduces free-form passing, standing tackles, and FieldSENSE to the series, an all new method and mindset to gameplay. FieldSENSE is largely built upon thousands of new animations and advancements in animation branching technology.
