Next-Gen Stats and Dynamic Gameday

One of the features exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game is next-gen stats. Madden 22 uses real player data to deliver more in-depth stats and analytics, which has been integrated into Ultimate Team in a unique way. Players will be able to track stats on Ultimate Team cards, which includes Madden next-gen stats like longest air distance, average time to throw, and longest run after 1st hit.

Abilities and X-Factor Adjustments

Before Ultimate Team games, players can set which X-Factors and abilities they want active. In Madden 22, players can now make halftime adjustments to both abilities and X-Factors to switch up the game plan. Based on the trailer, teams will be able to have up to three X-Factors active and up to 12 abilities active, which will give players a lot of freedom to pick and choose player boosts.
