    Is anyone clear on why a new Change of Direction rating was needed when Agility was for basically that almost exact thing?

      In H2H online when you select an alternate uniform, your team does not wear them.

        Re: Madden 21 Beta First Impressions (Feel Free To Add Your Own)

        I just finished my first game. Here is what I noticed:


        - Visually it looks the same, colors look no different, and the only difference I could see is with the brightness. I dont have an Xbox One X, so I disqualify myself lol

        - I took off with Mahomes and intentionally didn't slide. Earl Thomas hit me so hard, Mahomes folded like an accordion and fumbled. Nice touch
        - Actually had a few pass interference calls
        - When the QB gets the snap from shotgun, I did notice a few seconds before you could throw, as if the QB is fumbling with the ball to get his preferred grip. Its a very nice touch.

        - I played 2 snaps on defense, and Lamar Jackson is going to break the game like Vick did in 04. I couldn't catch him if I wanted too.

        - I had it on expert settings, and still shredded the defense. I was 16-20 for 289yrds and 3tds. Hopefully sliders work.

          H2H is still full of users who turn the ball over in the first quarter and then quit. 2 games in a row.

            I appear in the minority here, but my first impressions running with Ingram are his lack of COD skills, and it annoyed me greatly, considering they’ve again regurgitated total control. I do like the weight feel, this far with regards to some other positions, but running feel, it’s another year of change the game speed change the ‘weight’ of COD. Will lab with some other backs.

              The fact that I’ve only been able to play one online game start to finish is a testament to just how badly they need to #FixMaddenFranchise

              Also, am I the only one that’s seeing cpu DBs play the deep ball terribly? I’ve gotten torched, and torched people, deep a ton

                Yes, you've been able to do this since Madden 19 on PC.

                  Not enough plays or tools to counter Lamar honestly - it's such an uber advantage to have him on your team that I don't know why anyone wouldn't pick the Ravens everytime.

                  There just simply isn't enough to counter him.

                    Not to rehash what some are saying, but some things I've noticed.
                    • The back shoulder fade receiver animation looks GREAT!! I mean, I was in replay for 5 minutes watching it over and over.
                    • I’d love if it were just a hair slower.
                    • Sideline receivers occasionally have no awareness.
                    • Love the open field tackling, but sometimes it almost seems as though there is a bubble around a player and can’t be tackled, might be animation related.
                    • The jump ball animations are odd. Sometimes a WR will jump, then be on the way down and the DB will kind of push them up again for the tip drill.
                    • On interceptions (typically pick 6 types) and the screen flips, the player (AI or human controlled) seems to be out of sorts and goes in an odd direction, before going in the intended direction to the house. It needs to be fixed.
                    • Would like to see the “T-Pose” from the returner on deep kickoffs into the endzone.

                        Anyone else recording gameplay for their own review later? Just curious.

                            Exactly. So many of my games in the beta don’t even make it through the first quarter. We want franchise updates so that we can actually play full length games against other users.

                              Will they be adding other modes / teams before end of beta ? Would be nice tbh.

                                Pulling guards, still dumb and refuse to block the man in front of them on sweep plays.
