Madden NFL 21 Patch Available - Includes Updates For Gameplay, Franchise Mode, Playbooks & More - Patch Notes

For some reason I weirdly thought that this was just going to be an update for Franchise only. After reading the notes, speaking only about the solo player experience, the gameplay tuning might end up being sneaky good.

Not to derail this thread, but is anyone else having trouble with Madden Voice? I thought it was suppose to be active post update, but all I can do is log in. I can't vote on anything.

I'm having the same issue also.

You didn't miss it...I'm not seeing it either. I looked in every CFM and main menu settings option, as well as going through the first couple steps of starting a new franchise (both cloud and offline). It's not there.

So, looks as if it didn't make it in.

was always in Mid-Jan Update

Indeed...I went back and refreshed myself on which was which after the fact.

Given the number of questions swirling around, might be worth everybody doing that if they don't know off the top of their heads

Get ready for "The 5 headed avalanche steelers" lmao cant wait to see a defense with 4 avalanches in a Online CFM.. trade draft picks for some X-factor guy and give him avalanche and win every game because you force 8 fumbles a game (face palm)

Avalanche is gated behind OVR 95 Run Stopper MLB in Franchise, and I don’t think other positions can get it in Franchise at all.

I’ve got one guy in my league who wants Avalanche on Isaiah Simmons; we discovered this morning that he’s quite a ways off from that threshold.

If your league somehow ends up with four 95+ LBs on one team I’d venture to guess something else has gone wrong well beforehand lol.

Also I thought the whole point was to limit the # of x factors in a league. So if some becomes an X then someone has to lose it.

I've got to give it to them on this one.

I underestimated how much I'd like being able to turn breakout scenarios off and to limit the number of players in the league at various development levels. There are some real long-term benefits to being able to make these moves & customize your league as you see fit.

To my eye, there weren't any game-breakers in the game and a half or so I played thus far, which is always encouraging.

Career Stats: One of the top community requests for several years now, we added the week matchup and result of the game to each player’s season stats via their player card. We also added what team a player finished their season with on each year of their career stats via their player card.

Hallelujah! This is all i've asked for several years since I don't know when. I don't think Madden of all games ever implemented this while other sports games all pretty much have. I mean, tennis of all games had this.

Finally! I've been asking them every year over and over and can't believe they actually did it. Wow. I can die happy now lol

After just one Franchise game, being able to change the SS/XF abilities paid huge dividends. Changing the abilities for my team and my opponent to get rid of the "User Centric" abilities and adding some others ones instead that helps the non User controlled players be more fearsome created a much more dynamic game.

Being able to control the number of XF/SS/S players in you league is of course nice. This along with the reduced number of non normal dev trait players in the draft classes this year should go a long way in keeping the abilities from proliferating out of control. It will be interesting to see what the criteria is for having a player drop down a dev trait.

I hadn't given much thought to the playoff picture bracket, but seeing it come up in week 14 was a nice touch although they made a mistake by not having the team records appear on that screen.

I saw my first offside penalty of Madden 21, I had assumed that it had somehow become disabled with the removal of jumping the snap, so it was good that is seems to have returned.

I didn't see any new gameplay bugs, so I expect this will be how the game plays until the new gen version drops in 3 weeks, unless they make some emergency tuning for competitive play of course.

Not sure how to post an image but in my existing franchise with the Bears, I simmed the second half after being down 27-3 and I won 303(three hundred and three) 27! Couldn't believe my eyes in the first half when I threw a pick 6 to Russell Wilson!
I have tagged EA into the image on Twitter though.

Great news patch went to my offline franchise that a relief. I hope it is a different issue but played 2 games last night and after both games when I left the game to go back to franchise game crashed with an error 2 out of 2 games, no result on both games when I got back into chise. Hope it is back to normal today after being turned off.....

Of course they would screw up the new stat pages. Appears HOU and TEN are the only ones that are messed up.
