Popular Youtuber EricRayweather revealed all of the Homefield Advantages and previewed some Gameday and Momentum Factors coming to Madden NFL 22 in a recent video, courtesy of EA. Every NFL stadium in Madden 22 will feature a unique M-Factor that will unlock a boost for each individual environment. The home team will always have one extra M-Factor in the momentum meter to better simulate the difficulty of winning road games in the NFL. So, understanding how each stadium can affect a game will certainly come in handy.
Gameday and Momentum Factors will both play a key role in Madden NFL 22 and we get our first look at a handful of them today as well.

Momentum Factors
Momentum Factors are available to both teams (one extra for the home team with their Homefield Advantage) and can be found on your Momentum meter. Similar to Gameday Factors, Momentum Factors will also vary from game to game. However, momentum throughout the game will dictate when each Momentum Factor unlocks for each team. Only 5 Momentum Factors have been announced at this time, but there will be plenty more available at launch. Check out the 5 Momentum Factors we currently know about below:
- Icy Veins - QB is immune to pressure
- Instinct - Offense has their pass target highlighted
- Shook - Offensive play art is distorted
- Paranoid - QB periodically has trouble seeing receivers
