EA has announced that new content will come to Madden 23 as a part of Title Update 6. The upcoming update will introduce Season 3, updates to gameplay, franchise mode, and more.
In Season 3, players will have the chance to earn a Rob Gronkowski item that’ll “take your team to new heights.” They’ll also be able to play in various Ultimate Team modes such as MUT Playoffs, AKA: The New Class, Weekly Wildcards, and more.
