3/15/2023 0 Comments Madden nfl 21 reviews![]() That’s awesome when compared to the clunky juking in previous Madden titles. You can make more precise cuts in no time. The revamped running mechanics are another cool addition. But again, half the time my player dives away from the ball carrier. Rushing the passer has greatly improved and that’s one of the rare joys I get playing on defense. Maybe it’s time for a change.ĭon’t get me wrong, there are some enhancements to the gameplay. If you’ve taken one peek at what people are saying about Madden NFL 21 online, you’ll know that this game is no different. We’ve seen countless game-breaking bugs from other EA titles like Anthem and Mass Effect: Andromeda. Nonetheless, I do have to ponder the idea of the Frostbite Engine becoming a liability for EA. These are things that did exist in Madden NFL 20 but they weren’t as prevalent as they are here. While playing as a defender, I rarely dive towards the ball carrier. Nearly every game I’ve played has had some crazy glitch or bug that takes you out of the action. Madden NFL 21 has an abundant problem with linebackers jumping like Wide Receivers and catching insane passes. ![]() I applauded Madden NFL 20’s gameplay and said it was “one of the best gameplay experiences in this series’ long-running history.” It was a hot-take, and although the gameplay started to show cracks a month or 2 in, I still believe Madden NFL 20 was fun to play. Improving The Pass Rush Can’t Fix Madden NFL 21’s Gameplay Because Madden NFL 21 fails to showcase that. Maybe it is time for another studio to have a crack at the more realistic aspects of professional football. It won’t happen, especially since the NFL and EA recently renewed their deal, but maybe it’s time for EA to lean into their non-simulation ideas. That said, it remains a wildly entertaining mode, especially with friends.įor a simulation football game that is meant to realistically portray how professional football is played, it’s somewhat ironic that Madden NFL 21’s best game modes are The Yard and Superstar KO. Admittedly, there’s not much new to Superstar KO here. After each win, you get to choose another NFL all-pro until you have 3 offensive stars and 3 defensive stars. 1-3 players pick a set team and then begin drafting 3 NFL superstars. Superstar KO was a solid late addition to Madden NFL 20. ![]() Or maybe there could be more options for what jerseys are available and even the ability to just wear normal clothes. Personally, I would like to play without a helmet and pads. But, this is an arcade game mode with slightly cartoonish animations and gameplay. Sure, you can equip your favorite team’s uniform or a few custom jerseys EA has put in the game (most of which look terrible). There’s not much to customize or unlock in The Yard. The Yard is genuinely a fantastic addition to the Madden series but, it could be even better. It’s so entertaining, whether you’re playing with your buddies or a few rounds by yourself. You can be down 10 points with a single drive left and still have a chance to win the game. What makes The Yard work so well is that anything can happen at any given time. This allows for more unpredictability across the board. ![]() You can also get extra points for interceptions on defense and scoring after a lateral on offense.Īnother fun gameplay mechanic in The Yard is the multi snap feature which allows for the center to snap the ball directly to anybody on the offense. You can perform multiple passes behind the line of scrimmage and if you score a touchdown while executing these passes, you’ll actually get extra points. When you hop on the field, you’ll quickly notice that you can do a lot in this game mode. Each field has its own set of rules and player pools to draft from. Along with this, there are several fields to play on. Although this is a 6v6 game mode, you can only play The Yard either solo or with up to 2 other friends. ![]() You can customize your avatar, pick from a variety of playstyles (called Prototypes), and level them all up by playing backyard football games. The Yard is a fast-paced, chaotic game mode that takes cues from games like NFL Street and NHL’s Chel. Madden NFL 21 Thrives In The Yard And Superstar KO And when we’re talking about the few bright spots in Madden NFL 21, it’s hard not to mention The Yard. Let’s talk about the good in Madden NFL 21 before we get into all the negativity. Unfortunately, things have only gotten worse for EA’s latest installment. In my review of last year’s Madden NFL 20, I noted that the long-running series had become complacent. And before we get into the review, I do want to send out appreciation to EA for providing us with a review copy.) (This game was tested and reviewed via an Xbox One S.
