Hurricane Ian could impact Madden 23's content rollout
The weekly Ultimate Team content release schedule for Madden 23 might see delays due to Hurricane Ian.
On Monday, Electronic Arts (EA) revealed the Madden 23 Ultimate Team content rollout dates for updates to features like Team of the Week, Gridiron Guardians, AKA, Team Diamonds, and Legends. Each is supposed to launch Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2022, through Thursday, Sept. 29, 2022, but those dates are not set in stone.
“Content is subject to change or experience delays due to Hurricane Ian,” EA said on Twitter.
EA goes on to mention that MaddenNFLDirect will announce any changes or delays to the schedule. As of right now, the company’s plans haven’t changed.
It’s important to note that EA Tiburon, the studio behind Madden 23, is located in Orlando, Florida. Hurricane Ian is reported to make landfall up and down the Gulf Coast soon, and many residents are preparing for hurricane-force winds, heavy rainfall, and potential flooding. Meaning EA Tiburon’s employees are likely bracing for the worst. Again, the development team will update fans if the upcoming updates receive delays.
Madden 23 came out over a month ago to a somewhat lukewarm reception. It captures John Madden’s legacy, even if certain features (or lack thereof) leave much to be desired.
