Historians recount ancient wars as the perfect example of how the strategy was born and how it developed as a common tool for men throughout guilds from business to the football field.
Coaches have been marked by their ability to prepare and execute a game plan and have been judged as strategists for a very long time now and now that part of the game has been replicated in Madden 22.
The Strategy Items have arrived and with it a new way to prepare games that will expand possibilities in how you can offend and defend.
Strategy Items in Madden 22 are difference makers when on the field
The introduction of Strategy Items has added an additional level of preparation as each item has a unique assortment of upgrades that can affect a player, a position group or even a whole side of the field.
This is very important to know as this will allow players to use the same exact lineup in very different ways like making an offence fast-paced or enhancing the pass rush ability of the defence.
There are infinite (figuratively speaking) possibilities in how you can build your roster and how to focus your players on certain tendencies with Strategy Items.
Here we share with you the full list of Strategy Items available in Madden 22:
