    Re: Madden 21 Current Gen Gameplay Deep Dive

    The biggest thing I took from the trailer was the removal or at least the reduction of the "missile" tackles.

    I picked up Madden 20 just a couple of weeks ago (ps sale 17.99) and what popped out to me immediately was the missile tackles.

    As far as franchise goes, I couldn't tell you the last time I played the mode, as I always get sucked down slideritis road...lol so it will all be pretty new to me.

    But getting back to the trailer....there was a lot of stuff that looked pretty good to me, as been mentioned though, I would like to hear more about any a.i improvements, but I do know that I won't be waiting to get Madden for 17.99 this year....lol

      I agree with both. Being a father now, it was hard trying to find time to play when my child was 8 months and under before I took a break from gaming since end of last year. I already know now that only time I will really be able to play games is when my child is asleep. So I'm not going to have ample time to play games.

      But at same time, I'm not going to buy unless Franchise gets its due. Even if it is just setting up a good foundation for the future on next gen. I want to want to buy Madden, but not going to settle. I want to buy if I can take advantage of a current gen Black Friday deal that I can use the Free Upgrade for

        Looks like instant wins are still present so I don’t feel they really resolved what they need to there.

        I liked the tackling update but it doesn’t really resolve the physics/overriding canned animations.

        Doesn’t sound like players reaching with the ball will be contextual and doesn’t answer questions it creates as far as players being more prone to fumbling.

        “Physics based animations when throwing” stood out to me. Is this strictly taking effect in passing situations or is it something through out all gameplay?

        Pursuit doesn’t seem any better.

        AI and particularly CPU QB AI are still a big question.

        Guess we’ll see what the deep dive brings us on Thursday.

          This is where I'm also at with my lot in life.

          The honey-do list keeps evolving, too.

          I also agree that other areas should improve and new features added.

            It’s not ludicrous at all. He said “looks”. And I think that’s a fair thing to say.

            I mean APF’s gameplay still looks much better in every way. And it’s really not even close.

            While I’m sure they’ve made many improvements to things “behind the scenes” it still hasn’t translated to much improved gameplay. It still has that Xbox era feel to it. Which isn’t a good thing. Considering Ps2 era maddens were much better than their 360 era counterparts.

              I just hope we have the choice of which direction we’re doing our d line moves and not just choosing which move. Being able to choose a spin move does me no good if they’re spinning the opposite of where I want to go half the time

                  This is definitely a way better video, as others have said. Excited to see more gameplay and see how it feels. Hoping that this is a sign of things to come. It’s not perfect as there were still issues present but shoot, I’ll take any progress as good news at this point.

                    I remember it being in either NCAA or Madden madden one year and it was awesome. You could really set up moves by starting the rush outside the ripping or swimming back inside, it was the most fun I’ve ever had controlling a pass rusher.

                      Obviously graphically madden looks better but APF certainly animated smoother

                        Nothing about defensive coverage this year. Alot of it could he alleviated with a realistic pass rush though. So maybe it'll work out.

                          Not gonna lie. This year's release isn't looking that great. And I'm not being one of those complainers. Just my observation. I also think that we should remember that we are in a transition year from current to next gen, so maybe a lot more resources are focused on the next gen version of the game. Which wouldn't be such a bad thing.

                            Yea, thanks for reminding me about the defensive coverage, I knew there was something I was forgetting.

                            I really hope the coverage is much better than it is in M20, and with all these defensive moves at our disposal, I really hope robo cpu qb doesn't make a return...for some reason I can see the qb getting rid of the ball during a sack animation, I really hope I'm wrong though because I am enjoying M20 and hope 21 just improves on what is already there.

                              Guys, 2007 was a long time ago.

                              If you all still want to talk about the 2K football video games, there's a whole forum for that now. I suggest you use it.

                                As much as I love franchise mode I’ll say this, if the gameplay is on point and those warping and dumb AI issues are gone, maybe I’ll give this game a chance. Gameplay and AI logic is everything to me. The main gripe I have is, I’m still seeing too many instances of two man animations. I hope the physics they added are properly coded this and doesn’t require a patch to fix/nerf.
