The Madden video game franchise is the only officially licensed NFL game series, meaning it carries a lot of influence in the gaming industry simply by existing. But that hold on the market might not have been the best thing for the game’s year-to-year quality, especially considering how often it’s released.
According to a report from Insider Gaming’s Mike Straw, the upcoming release of Madden 24, likely slated for its usual late-August window, will be “make or break” for the series. After an update file caused many players to lose their Franchise mode saves in late 2022, leadership at EA is apparently displeased with how similar matters have been handled. One way they’re trying to rectify the situation is by offering a 50 percent discount on the next edition of Madden for those who had save issues.
