    Re: Madden NFL 21 Video - New Pass-Rush Control, Ball Carrier Skill Stick, Open Field

    another year of the same CFM garbage we have seen since 2012 no franchise mode that is REAL. another focus on ultimate team money cash $$$ and recycled features that were in previous games.

    I will skip this year again. not buying madden again until the franchise mode actually has one like it use to be before CFM mode. every 2nd year I get fooled into thinking they might change it and it doesn't change. I give up with it.

      This is significantly more appealing to me than the various sizzle trailers and text blurbs they had put out to this point.
      Because you have to justify why you hired marketing majors and have them logging hours. Every company has this issue so EA isn’t blowing the minds of anyone with this strategy lol

        I get the jukes and spins are more flashy and also more relevant to the cover athlete, but it would have been nice to see more attention given to the moves the actual best runner in the NFL last season, i.e. Derrick Henry, in regards to more variety in downfield stiff arms

        I'm keen to see the tackling in action more. One of the clear issues with Madden on D was that CPU defenders did come in like heat seeking missiles which was really unrealistic.

          Yeah, I think the CPU using stiff arms are broken in Madden 20 and they never fixed it......

            No refs on the field

              Congrats EA!! You've finally made Madden 21 rehash everything you did in NCAA 14. This is probably what NCAA 15 or 16 may have been if they stayed in existence. I would have appreciated if they used the phrases "have returned". At least I wouldn't feel like a jerk writing this.

                Like you said 2007 is a long time ago. It’s bull that it APF still has better QB and passing animations. That’s my biggest gripe with the whole deal. And I think it’s fair to hold madden to that standard. Well actually it should be well past that.
                Agreed. APF 2k8 and NFL2k5, unfortunately are still viable comparisons.

                The fact that they are 13 and 16 years old respectably makes no difference, especially considering 2k's football games had full AI head/ball tracking on player models back in 2002 and Madden didnt introduce it until 2015-2016 when EA had the nerve ...the audacity to market it as something new....calling it "Player Sense" .

                So while 2k Football does have its own forum now, mentions of APF and NFL2k in the Madden forum are inevitable and valid as Madden is still making up ground on its former 2k counterparts in many key areas of gameplay and presentation.

                  This looked pretty good! Some decent gameplay improvements that could make a pretty big difference.

                  I’m a little concerned that one specific pass rush move will be far more powerful than the others, and that it won’t make sense to use anything but that one move. Am I right in thinking that they said that the OL will adjust to a move if it’s spammed over and over again? Or did I just make that up?

                  Edit: Or is the cap on the rush moves across the entire game?

                  I figured it would be on one play. E.g you get five attempts to successfully trigger a spin move on a single play.

                    Big fear that sacks are again going to be way overpowered. They were bad last year, and you could have a game where there was a total of 12 or more sacks for both teams.

                    Whenever they highlight a new feature, it seems OP until they tone it down with a patch or update file. Just like superstar abilities was last year.

                    My guess is guys will be asking why my 95 rated left tackle can't seem to stop anyone.

                      The stuff that was actually the focus of the video looked pretty nice, particularly the animations of the QBs being hit just after releasing the ball and the breakdown before tackles.

                      Having said that, the stuff that was happening outside the focus of the video leaves a lot to be desired. Looks like they've still struggled to clean up a lot of the little things. That, combined with what I'll assume is a lack of franchise improvements (I think it's just safe to assume this until they prove otherwise), makes this a likely pass for me.

                        No refs during gameplay...are they in next-gen?

                            Same old canned animations in everything. Really wish they went with more physics based animations like they attempted in 13 but here we are with the same old stuff.

                              Are you sure this isn't a Madden 20 video?

                                As a casual football fan, I liked the video. I genuinely liked the video. Haven't bought since 17, might be a year to give it another go as I'll be skipping NHL unless there's some substantial improvements.
