Some teams don't have a unique advantage. For example, the New York Giants and New York Jets have the same advantage: the "Turf War." It means visiting players will fatigue faster. The copy-and-paste job makes some sense there since the two teams play in the same stadium.
There is another instance of two teams owning similar advantages. The Washington Football Team has an advantage called "Unstable Ground." Visiting players will have a difficult time changing direction. FedExField's turf is notoriously bad, creating a slippery surface in poor weather conditions.
Levi's Stadium suffered from less severe yet still poor field conditions in the venue's first couple of seasons. Although, that has been less of an issue in recent years. The San Francisco 49ers spent significant money and time in correcting Levi's Stadium's early field conditions.
Yet, for the 49ers, Madden NFL 22 literally copied and pasted the same home-field advantage from the Washington Football Team, which might seem like an odd decision.
The laziness on EA Sports' part didn't go unnoticed among fans.
Further proving that the "advantage" was a copy-and-paste job from the Washington Football Team is the fact that within each description, "changing" is misspelled as "chaging."
That, of course, led to some entertaining comments from fans.
