Has the Madden 21 launch dampened your expectations for Next-Gen?

“Free upgrade” to next gen should tell us everything we need to know.

I agree. Nothing more than a spit shine on the crowds, players and fields along with "hopefully" ray tracing to show off the lighting effects. Maybe by then EA will have the fancy "new" franchise add-ons they are so proud of.

The free next-gen upgrade offer is actually how a large portion of the industry is handling the console transition this time.

We should be criticizing the companies that aren't doing this and rather are showing their avarice by making us buy the same game twice. How 505 Games is handling Control comes to mind.

Agreed but those companies are also just putting out the same game with next gen upgrades. The Last of Us 2 and Cyperpunk will be the same games on PS4 and PS5, so it’s safe to assume the same goes for madden, which in regards to this thread can’t dampen expectations.

Consider we don't even have a release date for next gen or a price. and 'supposedly' is 2 months away you might not even see madden 21 on 'next gen' which tells you good luck on even seeing any upgrade that will be any world of different. EA wouldn't be risking their time away from MUT mode to spend time on that if it won't even be released. there is a major chance we might not even see a next gen in 2020. and if we do good luck even buying a console this year.

It is the most pathetic piece of marketing from any generation of consoles I have ever seen not telling us any price or release date. people want to know about putting money aside. and during a pandemic and economic crisis things won't go well.

We don’t have a release date or price bc Sony and MS are playing chicken, neither wants to show their hand first. Madden 21 will absolutely be on next gen consoles and I’m willing to bet it will be at launch.

There is more to it then playing chicken. 2 completely different strategies here

Sony are aiming for the games and exclusives.

Microsoft are aiming for the backwards comparability, and the fact they want all games to be able to play between consoles. without needing a upgrade.

where 2 months till November it's about damm time someone release some info and a release date people have had enough

I’m going to rely on feedback from guys on here I trust before i get the new console. It took until madden 19 before Madden was any good for the current gen.

Re: Has the Madden 21 launch dampened your expectations for Next-Gen?

Not really cuz my expectations were never high in the first place

After my terrible experience with EA last next gen upgrade (Madden 25) I expect Madden on PS5 to be a port with upgraded graphics

And I will not be a sucker and buy it this time

Lol it is what it is for me, they will announce it when they announce it, I’ve been saving up for a while so I’m not really worried about price.

My expectations for next-gen M21 were tempered before the current-gen launch. Naturally as a gamer I'm still curious to see how it looks and sounds in motion.

Re: Has the Madden 21 launch dampened your expectations for Next-Gen?

The expectation is that the Impressions thread doesn't turn into an angry mob of anti-EA clowns that haven't even touched the game... Nobody is asking for a praise EA thread, but having a spot to actually talk about the game without all of this whining from people that haven't even played the game would be nice.

Or it's entirely possible that literally that many people are just fed up - we can only hope the NFL hears that

Re: Has the Madden 21 launch dampened your expectations for Next-Gen?

Unfortunately, its expected from EA! I guess we all are hoping the Next Gen will be filled with beautiful graphics and impeccable gameplay!!! EA always over promise and under deliver!

No not for me. I think the gameplay is the best it's ever been. The game has always looked great on my PC.

Re: Has the Madden 21 launch dampened your expectations for Next-Gen?

Madden fuc*ed it up since PS3 Generation. The only thing improved was visuals and Ultimate Team.

You really think EA will do a good Job for PS5 Version? I'm pretty sure, they use Frostbite, a Engine developed for Ego-Shooters. Even Ignite engine was better for videosportgames.

The only thing that could redeem us is..NFL should kill the excklusive deal with the worst company the last years.

Madden 06 next gen (360/ps3) jaw dropping trailer, terrible port.

Madden 25 next gen (ps4/xb1) trailer showing much potential, severely underwhelming game.

Madden/Fifa next gen (ps5/xsx) tailer showing another draw dropping trailer...well I'm going with underwhelming game. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

Completely agree! It's about time for the commercials to hit and they both are playing their cards close to the vest. As far as backwards compatibility goes, I'd be surprised if we'll be able to play Madden 17-20 on next gen. I don't believe we were able to play previous Maddens on the 360/Xbox S-X. Sports game devs want us to play the new stuff on a new box. My favorite is Madden 12. Would love to be able to play it on anything other than my 360.
