It is an installment in the Madden NFL series and follows the release of Madden NFL 22.
Former head coach and broadcaster John Madden, whom the game was named after, is the cover star in honor of his death in December 2021.
Prior to Madden NFL 23, John Madden graced the cover of the game series from John Madden Football (1988) to Madden 2000.
Madden NFL 23 is also the first cover to have only John Madden featured since Madden 99. The Madden 95 and Madden 2000 covers had John Madden share the spotlight with NFL players.
The franchise mode featured new additions, including free agency tools and additional trade factors.
The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game included new defensive animations.
The introduction of the new Field Pass system allows players to earn up to date rewards throughout the year.
The All-Madden Edition is based on the cover of the series’ first game, John Madden Football, made by Chuck Styles.
