This suggests that the developer is under no pressure to Madden 22 coins substantially improve the game each year. In 2020, an enthralling campaign on Twitter urged the league to release EA as its official partner- #NFLDropEA. However, despite the social media outrage, which also involved coordinated review bombing of Madden's Metacritic website, Madden 21 sales were way up. This year's Madden 22 did well, too, and Madden continues to be the best-selling sports franchise ever.
The critics come from a vocal minority, however, an entire group whose role is to be very vocal. We're talking about YouTubers, who earn a living by making videos by streaming themselves playing a sport they claim to hate.
The variety of YouTubers' areas of focus shows how massive the game nowadays. There are YouTubers like Belton who post videos of their own games as well as a plethora of people who post tips and tricks. Then there are those who are dedicated to playing Madden.
Last fall, a TV channel named SOFTDRINKTV published a 14-minute clip entitled "The worst Madden of All Time," followed a week later by a 19-minute film titled "Madden NFL 22 isn't Good - Review." They re-enter the same place recently with a video that was titled "Everything Wrong with Madden NFL 22 (in 16 minutes)." The narration of this one begins memorably or even a bit dramatically: "This is the kind of game that will make you want to stick a on your eyes with a thumbtack. When playing Madden 22, the blessing of life becomes the curse. You will no longer want to live. It can cause existential dread."
Like any subculture, Madden comes with its own slang. The precise throws have the meaning of "lasers" (self-explanatory). A good throw is usually the form of a "dot" and you'll get "dotted up" that has somehow changed into "dart" (less explicit). Similar to strong defensive coverage, good defensive coverage used to be "bagged," though recently I've come across YouTubers say "booked." The most logical one according to my understanding is "mossing" an individual, which is when the receiver jumps over a corner in order to buy madden coins catch the ball from the air, influenced by Randy Moss.
