One new rule for Madden 24 closed beta has football fans perplexed

Those who have access to theMadden 24beta need to be careful on social media.

It’s become customary for EA Sports to release a closed beta of Madden, and that has held true for Madden 24.

However, one change for this year’s beta has both content creators and football fans confused.

A curious new rule for Madden 24 closed beta

EA began to roll out codes today for the Madden 24 closed beta that began on June 8. Thosewho have accessto the beta will be able to play H2H Ranked, Franchise, and Practice Mode. Superstar and Madden Ultimate Team will be added later on in the beta.

There are some rules for this beta – namely that individuals can’t post any videos or screenshots of the early version of Madden 24 on social media and the Internet.

That’s been the standard for years, but a curious change made this year now forbids individuals from even discussing it on social media. Last year, for theMadden 23closed beta, this did not apply. Those who do, per EA, are subjected to being removed from the beta and possibly subject to a ban on all Madden accounts.

This move has not gone over well with some, and there’s been some speculation among Madden players that EA may have a nefarious reason of doing this.

EA really wakes up and thinks to themselves “How can we make ourselves look even worse”

Me : Oh wow, this beta is pretty solidEA : Yeah bro, I’ma need you to head out

So basically the game is trash and they want to make sure everybody spends money on it before figuring out it’s trash
