Madden NFL 22: Best Physique

In addition to the various Classes available in Madden NFL 22, you'll be able to customise your player further by selecting a Physique. In The Yard, you can adjust your Physique alongside your Class, but do note that once you've selected in Face of the Franchise you'll be locked into that Physique for the rest of your career. Typically, a Class will have a recommended Physique, but you can mix and match for statistical adjustments. The options are:

Agile

A smaller and faster body type that's nimble but shorter and can get overpowered.

Balanced

Capable and comfortable in all areas but doesn't necessarily excel at anything.

Bruiser

A taller and stronger body type that can overwhelm smaller players but lumbers a little.

The best Physique in Madden NFL 22 depends entirely on how you want to play. If you're trying to build a bruising run blocking linebacker, then it's probably best to go with the Bruiser Physique. Of course, you might choose Agile if you want to create a rapid wide receiver, who's capable of running deep routes at electric pace. It really depends on what you're trying to do.

One thing you should keep in mind, however, is that if you do stray from the recommended Physique for a Class, this will come at a statistical cost and may even lower your overall. In order to balance things, however, you may gain boosts in other areas that could ultimately complement your playstyle. It all comes down to what you're trying to achieve on the field.

Madden NFL 22: Best Class for Face of the Franchise and The Yard

Before you settle on the best Class for Face of the Franchise and The Yard, keep in mind that Madden NFL 22 is designed to be as versatile as possible. As such, consider some of the suggestions below as examples, because it really is up to you how you want to play. Experiment and find a Class that works for you.

Each Class in the game has a Level Path which will reward you with Superstar Abilities and Skill Points. You'll earn 20 Skill Points per class in total which can be distributed across a variety of categories for statistical boosts. In addition, once you reach Level 20 in a Class, you'll unlock its associated Superstar X-Factor for global distribution, allowing you to get more creative and really mix and match different Player Builds.

Hawk

A marauding linebacker with outstanding coverage capabilities and the raw power required to also stop the run when needed. Great at picking off short passes through the middle, and while unlikely to be a primary target in The Yard, has good enough catching attributes to get the job done as a second or third read.

Hitman

Exclusive to The Yard and an absolute monster on both sides of the ball. This quarterback is capable of moving the ball accurately on short routes and while on the run, while still being able to defend deep routes with great tackling and interception capabilities on the opposite side of the field.

Lightspeed

A quarterback that's capable of making plays on short running routes, but excels best when escaping the pocket and scrambling into space. This is a nimble quarterback class that won't necessarily excel at deep plays, but will be able to sprint for big gains and keep the defense guessing.

The Magician

A versatile quarterback that excels both in the pocket and on the run. Capable of tossing the rock while on the move, with more than enough power to hit receivers on deep routes as well as more manageable short ones.

Moonshot

A deadly wide receiver with enough acceleration and raw catching ability to destroy defenses on deep routes. Also likely to be your first read in The Yard, with just enough juice on the Skill Moves to break tackles and take the rock to the endzone.
