[3] Modus Games acquired the rights to the Maximum Football series and announced the successor on September 1, 2021, on Discord.

The game was originally scheduled to be released in the spring of 2023 for Windows and Mac OS but was delayed for all platforms until further notice on May 26, 2023.

[6] This comes after the hashtag #FixMaddenFranchise was trending on Twitter and other social media platforms to spread awareness of EA Sports' lack of attention to the game mode.

On March 20, 2023, multiple videos and screenshots were leaked on social media sites such as Discord, YouTube, Twitter and Reddit showing gameplay from early beta tests conducted by Modus Games.

[13] The other featured mode is dynasty, which derives from the recently-revived NCAA Football video game series, where you can take on the role of a head coach in a customizable league and recruit players to join your team and get drafted.
