      Some people enjoy Madden. Some people enjoy MUT and The Yard, and competitive game mode.

      I don't play those modes, but I can see why others do and enjoy the game.

      Those people won't stop buying the game. We just have to hope they prioritize franchise like they are claiming they will do.

        I haven't played on PC so can't say. I'm sure it's amazing. Unfortunately, the people using that mod represent a hyper-niche audience & always will.

          This doesn't mean anything without the sell-in figures from last year and this year.

              Right???? Lol
              You know I'm more in the it's good not great boat with Madden but it's funny that I'm the same position with nba 2k that a lot of you have been with Madden.

              NBA2k21 gameplay is the best i've ever seen, and I love the shot meter. But it feels like I need to go into witness protection if I want to say that online. Lmao

                .. or the reviews can be seen for what they are;

                Shots over the bow by frustrated consumers, in hopes of getting more out of these products in the future.

                  Yep....this is why review bombing has no meaning now.

                    It’s also the lowest rated 2K from the critics side as well as the users... but I guess pointing out that critics gave this years Madden and 2K games historically bad reviews for the series gets in the way of the “user review bombing makes criticism irrelevant” narrative...

                      That's a leap dude. There's a massive difference between games getting 6 out of 10 with constructive criticism like reviews do, to "this games trash" .04 out of 10 review bombing. I'm not gonna put words in anyone else's mouth but in no way would I ever equate user review bombing to criticism being irrelevant. Sounds more like your bias then mine. Just sayin.

                        I'm just gonna say it... The vast majority of people who buy sports games do not read reviews on IGN,metacritic, or read the hashtags on twitter when making their decision to buy... Shocking, I know.

                          Problem with NBA 2k21 is, who wants to pay DOUBLE for this game, when you have to buy it again when new console comes out in a few months? 2K already gets enough of our money! At lest with madden, you only need to buy ONE copy and get a free upgrade!

                            Everyone here knows this deep down, but the social media/forum bubble makes people forget it, especially whey they have a particular axe to grind about a game.

                            Goalposts will be moved as much as possible to present a scenario where folks can envision a situation where what they want to happen in the football gaming space somehow manifests.

                            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.

                              I get it. I was completely caught off-guard when, after the collapse of FBPro 99 ended with its recall, that not a single publisher made single move to fill the action sports sim gap left by Sierra Sports folding. Like, the genre just ended that quick.

                              I had spent years in the FBPro community and it felt huge and alive. Custom rosters, plays, gameplans. Helper apps to install free agency and salary caps. Global editors. We had an app that let us chat as a group while we watch simple 8 bit animations show the results of each play as memebers watched the sim play out together.

                              But it turns out, that was all of us. There were hundreds of us, maybe thousands. It felt huge. It wasn't.

                                Not trying to justify Take-Two's decision there but I think part of their reasoning is the fact that NBA 2k21 is being completely rebuilt for next-gen whereas Madden 21 will be a port with next-gen enhancements. So in TT2's eyes next-gen NBA 2k21 is a different game.
