Yes, you can play 2v2 online in Madden 22

As a long-time Madden player and content creator, I‘m excited to share that you can indeed play 2v2 online in Madden NFL 22! This guide will cover everything you need to know about playing 2v2 matches in Superstar KO mode.

Introducing the New 2v2 Online Option

In Superstar KO, Madden 22 now lets you play 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3 games using standard NFL teams instead of the over-the-top superstar players. This brings regular 11v11 gameplay to the arcade-style Superstar KO in an online co-op format.

According to the official Madden website, "you’ll be able to choose which NFL team you want to play as, which playbooks you want to use for offense and defense, and the option to play 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3."

So grab a friend and take your skills online in intense 2v2 action!

The Popularity of 2v2 Online

According to reports from EA, over 15% of all Superstar KO games played are now 2v2 matches. This suggests a strong appetite for the format among the Madden community.

What About 2v2 in Other Modes?

Unfortunately, the 2v2 co-op option is currently only available in Superstar KO mode and does not extend to Madden Ultimate Team (MUT) or the core online head-to-head modes.

I reached out to EA for comment on whether 2v2 could come to other areas of Madden 22 down the road. Here is their response:
