    Re: Madden 21 Current Gen Gameplay Deep Dive

    I'm loving the celebration touches they added. That's going to be fun. Imagine playing a friend or someone online in a close game... You just got a clutch 1st down reception. To be able to rub it in their face signaling a 1st down is going to be so much fun. I like it a lot. It's like the pump down the crowd mockery. I really hope they bring back the pump up the crowd on defense motion.

        We're all so tired of the lack of physics with tackling and how momentum doesn't matter and defenders will constantly stand up you and stop you on a dime when you're inches from the goal line or a first down. If that has finally been removed from the game I think that alone will make '21 worth a purchase.

        Not much on the ball carrier stick system but hopefully the two new jukes are fluid and fun to use.

        I actually liked A LOT about that video.

        I just hope the new jukes, especially the jump cuts are tied to either special stat thresholds (say juke over 85 or something) or a special ability/trait.

          I'm worried about limiting your amount of pass rush moves. If they're going to limit the amount of pass rush moves, they should tie it in with stamina. If my players use all of their attempts to reach the QB and fail than they should either have to sit out some plays or do not refill the attempts to the max amount immediately next play.

          I also wonder if the CPU will be limited to an amount...I'm also curious to know if once you're out of attempts if you're D-Lineman is just going to stand there and patty cake with the O-Line, and pretty much just be out of the play.

            Man that new score bug looks amazing.

            Some clean animations from the new open field tackling stuff too. Definitely seeing some improvements.

              We know they added a bunch of new abilities but there was no mention of that here? Could they be saving that as franchise news?

                It's so much better than last year's Madden Mobile-esque score bar. It kind of reminds me of Monday Night Football's one, just cleaned up a bit. The only thing I don't like are those two random arrows next to the down and distance.

                  Yeah i can't imagine those have any purpose so i don't know why they're there. I think the whole thing could be sized down a little bit as well. It's taking up a lot of the screen. Visually it's very clean, but it could use some refinement.

                    Yes, the score bug definitely is an upgrade not sure what they were thinking for M20 & along with the menu screens (colors). I really want the tackle animations to be polished. Bad tackling animations can really take you out of the immersion of the game. M20 tackling is ok, but needs much needed attention.

                      Watch it play like madden 20. Or very very similar.

                        Good video. Still need to see a few qtrs of some straight gameplay but I do like what was said in regard to contextual animations, ol/dl play and tackling.

                          My favorite part of the video was the the QB Release. Aaron Rodgers got the ball out
                          of his hand before he got smoked. A pet peeve of mine is when I attempt a pass,
                          the release is so long that I get sacked.

                          That roll out by Tua looked nice too. They seem to be aware of the running
                          game being too OP. They made sure the explain the open field tackling
                          was upgraded to counter the run game.


                          We'll see though.

                            Hopefully, it gets refined a bit before release (kind of like how Madden 13's was changed from unveil to launch). In addition to removing the arrows, I'd love to see some more font uniformity as well. I'd also appreciate the ability to turn off that "Savor The Moment" drop-down.

                              the usual tweaks and improvements, I hope the receivers can actually catch the ball this time during a deep pass, rather than the QB overthrowing it or the defenders intercepting it.

                                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.


                                LOL so because 2007 was a long time ago their opinions are invalid? Seemed to me they were just counter arguing your counter argument.

                                It shouldn’t matter if it’s APF or NFL Gameday. They were making a point that Madden 21 absolutely looks and animates like a game they could have made in 2007.

                                But nah, let me take it to the 2K forum before I get banned for speaking bad about Madden. [emoji849]
