    Madden 17-20's Super Bowl Celebration side by side

    21 is clear indication EA is terrified of 2K coming back into the market.

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 07:09 AM PDT

    It seems like this year madden became even less of a simulation game. Gameplay only barley tweaked, entire modes just re-colored and copy pasted, and what's this? A new ARCADE game mode with micro transactions? THANK GOD I didn't buy this game this year and got the chance to play it at a friends house because I would have been pisssedddd. It's clear as day EA heard 2k got approved to do an arcade style football game and got scared so instead of just improving madden to be a better simulation game they made the game more arcade like to compete with 2K..... That makes absolutely no sense to me....

    Kids will spend an extra $100 on micro transactions but you don't think they would buy both your games if they were good enough? If you just make a good game people will buy it regardless of the competition. There's no need to adjust your style to accommodate for new competition that just shows you're scared they'll put you under because you know you can't preform to par. EA knows they put virtually no effort into Madden using an entire year to make MINIMAL changes. Half the code is copy pasted so I see no excuse for this, you've been putting out patches all last year you should have an idea what issues the community wants fixed, added, removed, etc. if EA treated their Devs better they probably wouldn't have such a high turnover rate and would have to keep hiring first year out of college Devs to work on their one game US markets consistently want every year. Like if you're going to copy past at least make your progress for game modes you know for a fact people spent extra money on be transferable.

    Madden 21 is the most bug filled Madden I have ever played.

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 07:56 PM PDT

    Remember when we were kids and said, “I can’t wait to see what Madden will be like in 10 years”

    Little did we know the games actually just got worse with less features

    Can we just talk about how awful the storyline is in Madden 21?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 04:53 PM PDT

    Before I do talk about this, yes I do know that this is a Sports Game and it's not going to be some kind of novelistic plot, I get that. However, don't bother adding in the plot in the first place if it isn't going to be good.

    1. Tommy Matthews vs. QB2
      This is probably one of the worst "brotherly love" relationships I have ever seen in a hot minute. For starters, in the beginning, you meet this cocky QB named Tommy Matthews, who is supposed to be some 4-star, 5-star recruit. After hearing one sentence out of him, you can literally know that this is just going to be his entire personality the entire game. Here's where it's supposed to get "Juicy". After hanging out with him for a day, you realize that after a game he has a heart condition, which doesn't pump blood on average as a normal human. It literally doesn't matter what option you choose, you get to play in the 2nd half, and then you steal his position. What doesn't make any sense is how the coach doesn't pick up on this fast as we do, considering that he has been the starter for a while. After stealing his position and leading the team to the state championship, Tommy comes back and says that he's able to play again after quitting. Here's another strike. For some reason, our player is now friends with Tommy? After showing no kind of brother-type love, they just become friends at a snap of a button? Whatever.

    2. College
      College's plotline is even worse, as I watched YouTubers choose different colleges (most of the time it was new colleges like MSU, Nebraska). Tommy, for his own reason, decided to join the same college as us. Considering that QB2 and Tommy are a duo called Heartbreak kids (get it, cause Tommy has heart problems lol!), I originally thought that Tommy was going to be WR. And this is the third strike now. Tommy, with heart problems, decides to try to win up his position. Instead of trying to beat us by joining a rival college, he decides it would be best to compete for his position again? What makes this worse is that the head coach, which isn't even the real coach, is probably the worst coach to ever head coach. He brags about 3 National championships that he himself didn't win. I was watching RBT's playthrough, where he was a Nebraska Cornhusker. Nebraska didn't even win a championship since 1997, so what are you bragging about? Another problem with this coach is that he says neither QB, which both committed, will start and do a two-QB system. As indecisive, this is, this was mainly because of Tommy trying to satisfy his own ego and win back the position instead of joining a different college or staying at WR. What is the problem here, you ask? Well, no matter how great you perform (You could literally have 9 touchdowns for 700 yards every single game), the coach will always, ALWAYS stick with Tommy as the QB in the end. Tommy, the QB that every time he starts is losing in the 1st half. Tommy, the QB that has heart-problems which ALMOST CAUSED HIM TO DIE ONE TIME. Tommy, who has a bigger ego than Antonio Brown himself. Yes, that Tommy. What's even worse is that QB2 has either 2 choices:
      A. Go to the Draft early as a QB, which means he'll be 3rd rounder.
      B. Switch to AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT POSITION AS WR/RB.
      The 2nd option is really stupid as if I choose the 2nd option, and I wanted to switch back to QB at the Draft, my ENTIRE OVERALL RESETS and I am no longer a Scrambler. If you choose to be a WR, then switch to QB (when at QB you were a Scrambler), you'll lose ALL progress you have and have to work your way to Scrambler as a Strong Arm QB.

    3. The Draft
      To close this off, I want to talk about the Draft and combine. In the NFL combine, if you choose to be a QB, it will literally be the same as you being a WR or RB. You're either the QB or aren't the QB, but you're doing the same thing as last year. I wish they did Rollout drills, pocket presence drills, bench press, and 40-yard drill. What was that? 40 yard is in M21? It sure doesn't feel like it, as you get the same 40 no matter how fast or slow you click the button. The Draft and afterwards is just a big waste of time. These are the two options that present itself:
      A. Choose to be any other team including the Bears.
      B. Be the bears.
      Honestly, Madden, if you're not going to go the full effort of making a cinematic story, what's the purpose of doing so in the first place? If 2k11, hell, 2k20 even does a better job at a Create-A-Player story than you, then there's something wrong with your approach to Story. This is just a ripoff of Madden 20, which was just a ripoff of Madden 19, which was just a ripoff of Madden 18. Do you get what I'm trying to say here?

    Just watched a streamer sum up the major issue with Madden 21

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 11:24 AM PDT

    I watched him start the application, and before playing a game, he purchased over $1,000 of points. He spent the next hour opening dozens of packs. Shortly after, he began his first game. Before the end of the first quarter, he began commenting on how the "game sucks."

    There was more excitement in the stream during that hour of opening packs than the actual gameplay. It was a perfect example of how this game is just a vessel for gambling. It's just a casino with a bit of football sprinkled in.

    EA is charging fucking $35 for just a NEW HELMET in the Yard. If you spend money on the yard or mut, you are a fool.

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 02:52 PM PDT

    There are so many things exclusive to the yard that people have been asking to be added into the game for years.

    Those greedy fucks at EA had the nerve to put things such as mouthpieces behind a paywall.

    So happy I didn't buy this game.

    The worst part, just like those addicts on MUT, all your purchases will go to waste since it doesn't carry over into the next year.

    EA has the ability to implement a Create-A-Player function into Franchise mode, as evident by the one in The Yard, but they simply don't want to.

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 03:54 PM PDT

    I'm watching reviews for Madden 21 and looking at the Create Your Player abilities for the game mode, The Yard.

    For YEARS we've asked for EA to put something like that BACK into Franchise, but have been told that there are only a "limited number of features" they can implement any given year. Yet, a feature we have been desiring for FUCKING YEARS, now is created and not at all compatible for Franchise mode.

    Oh and if you think that's bullshit, this feature in The Yard has mouth guards....

    What a fucking load of horse shit. Boycott Madden 21.

    After saving his house from theft, Kevin turned to a life of football...

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 09:33 PM PDT

    Tell a story or dont, you cant do both.

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 09:12 AM PDT

    Are the player character and Tommy rivals or not? Does being nice to Tommy in dialogue matter or not? Does playing well in college matter or not? If I ran a 4.46, why do I have 70 speed? I played at Clemson, why does it say Drake as my college?

    None of these things make since to me since the game presents a very different story in gameplay vs the cutscenes, and it feels like half the cutscenes are missing. In one cutscene, when the player character says were in this together, and Tommy says "no we're not." In the very next cutscene they say their brothers.

    If you want a big cinematic story, then do Longshot with lots of cutscenes and scripting for what happens. Because if you dont, you end up with a story mode where I made zero mistakes in game and still lost the starting job after the national championship, and had to leave so my bitter enemy/best friend could have his job back after almost Dying on the field. Twice.

    Oh and 1 more thing, Shawn Michaels is the only Heartbreak Kid.

    How many of your 10 hours have been wasted in ultra slow menus, transitions and disconnects?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 08:08 AM PDT

    Easily at least one hour, right? I have no faith that EA will do anything about it - but I hope this is fixed for launch. I

    EA Madden is a monopoly. Only football game for us. It’s sad a college football game will never happen again. 2k could’ve gotten a jump on that.

    Madden 21 Review

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 11:54 PM PDT

    Most Maddens I play I usually play for awhile. Most of the time around 5 months before I delete them and move on to other better games (which is pretty much any other game). But Madden 21 made history for me. As of this post Madden 21 is the quickest delete of any game I've EVER played. 5 hours.... 5 hours was all I needed to come to the conclusion that this game wasn't worth my time. I didn't touch MUT or The yard Or FOTF. I dont need to. MUT is the same thing its been since 16 with the exception of a few in game "Events" which just amount to new card packs. Face Of the Franchise is a waste of recourses.. a half assed game mode that deserves better. The yard, albeit an interesting idea just isn't for me. Im glad people are enjoying it tho but at the same time this is just EA shoe horning another street mode into one of their sports titles when NBA and Fifa are the only decent ones and has nothing to do with the NFL or SIMULATION FOOTBALL.

    I spent every second of my 5 hours in "Classic" Franchise. The one game mode I get some enjoyment out of each year and this year I felt nothing. I know there will be updates to it later this year but that still does nothing for me. Franchise needs a complete overhaul.. a complete rebuild, refresh, restart, clean slate.. whatever you want to call it. EA wasted a whole console generation on worrying more about selling virtual cards and little on actually making a game worth playing.

    WE CANT LET THIS SLIDE ANYMORE. We are literally no more than 3-4 months away from a new generation of technology with limits far beyond the PS4 and Xbox one. We all know EA will make sure the new games LOOK good.. but we can no longer allow them to sell us half baked products. If 2k can make a better representation of simulation football on a fucking PS2 game then Madden should look, play and feel NOTHING like it has since Madden 17. The frostbite engine is a beautiful graphics engine but doesn't deliver much outside of that unless the game is an FPS.

    Madden needs to switch to a new engine on the new generation. Animation dictated gameplay plagues and ruins any potential fun this game has and its time to move on. EA has the developers and i know damn well they have the funds to invest into a better engine.

    It doesn't matter what game mode you play in this game. If you're a Franchise player, Yard player, MUT player, FOTF player you deserve a better game. You deserve better than what EA has shat out to you for the past 5 years.

    My rating for Madden Is a 1/10

    Visuals are the only thing going for this franchise now and even THAT is dodgy.

    The sad truth about Maddens gameplay

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 04:52 PM PDT

    We're at Madden 21 and the gameplay still isn't even in the same universe as All Pro Football 2k8. A game that came out 12 YEARS AGO!
