    Re: Madden 21 Current Gen Gameplay Deep Dive

    I agree. That was a lot better than the original trailer. I liked the break down tackles, contextual based throws. I just hope pursuit angles are fixed and AI is a lot smarter.

    I agree, Franchise will be the deciding factor. But I'm not concerned about Current gen. I want to see if the Gameplay just ports over to next gen or a newer engine. I'm hoping for latter, but expecting gameplay being mostly the same next gen.

      agree, the open tackle thing is the best thing of that video.

        It definitely looks like they still need to address the issue caused by the ineligible receiver downfield penalty being enabled in the main menu. His reads looked out-of-sync - but that could also be ratings-driven as well. It's hard to say right now....

          Folk here know that a sizzle trailer will always kick things off, being put off by them leading with that feels like checking off a box on an obligatory "be exasperated with Madden checklist" LMAO.

          I can't lie, 3 or 4 solid gameplay improvements will always be enough for me to buy the next game, even if Franchise, which is all I play, only gets incremental improvements. I accept my status as a sellout to the Franchise player cause.

          Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

          Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

            Yes, it appears that the pass rush/blocking is still instant win or instant loose instead of being able to consistently apply pressure while still be blocked.

                The new animations looks pretty smooth and realistic. I don’t have anything bad to say about this video really at all. All the improvements look good to me. Really like the player awareness after plays. And players stepping out of bounds. It’s the little stuff like that, that really adds up.

                Of course I’d love to see even more. As it feels we’re still playing catch up to older games. But this looks good. So far I haven’t seen enough to warrant a purchase from me. But that’s okay. Hopefully the next gen Verizon adds even more.

                    Minor improvements in my opinion, not worth $60. They did update the scorebug though.

                      Ludicrous. There is more going on in a single frame of current-gen Madden than the XBOX 360 or PlayStation 3 could ever possibly hope to handle, and that's been the case for years.

                        I agree game play is the most important thing but man they need to announce some big things for franchise mode for me to spend the money this year. Money for a lot of people is going to be a little tighter than years past. So I hope they can entice me to spend but so far, no.

                          I will say I'm a little disappointed that this video didn't include more nuance about the AI learning your playcalling trends and countering them (which was talked about in one of the text blurbs last week).

                          I hope that doesn't end up getting messaged as a franchise mode feature (kinda like how X-Factors were messaged as the big franchise mode feature for Madden 2020). Because, while yes that would improve franchise mode tremendously by virtue of making the football gameplay more dynamic, I also very much want more front office features and gameplay options lol.

                            I definitely think that the AI improvements will be marketed as a big Franchise feature. It seems clear that going forward there will be very few new additions that are Franchise only.

                              That's fair. I have less time to actually play video games in general, now that I have more responsibilities. I wanna play the game on the field than sit in menus for hours. So the time I have I need to make it pay lol. I obviously want to see all areas improve & add new features (I expect it), but that's just where I'm at.

                                I agree. AI is the main gameplay aspect I want to know more about.

                                They also didn't discuss X Factors 2.0. It could a scenario where discuss that and AI mixed in part of the Franchise info..
