We're all so tired of the lack of physics with tackling and how momentum doesn't matter and defenders will constantly stand up you and stop you on a dime when you're inches from the goal line or a first down. If that has finally been removed from the game I think that alone will make '21 worth a purchase. Not much on the ball carrier stick system but hopefully the two new jukes are fluid and fun to use.

I actually liked A LOT about that video.

I just hope the new jukes, especially the jump cuts are tied to either special stat thresholds (say juke over 85 or something) or a special ability/trait.

I'm worried about limiting your amount of pass rush moves. If they're going to limit the amount of pass rush moves, they should tie it in with stamina. If my players use all of their attempts to reach the QB and fail than they should either have to sit out some plays or do not refill the attempts to the max amount immediately next play.

I also wonder if the CPU will be limited to an amount...I'm also curious to know if once you're out of attempts if you're D-Lineman is just going to stand there and patty cake with the O-Line, and pretty much just be out of the play.

Man that new score bug looks amazing.

Some clean animations from the new open field tackling stuff too. Definitely seeing some improvements.

We know they added a bunch of new abilities but there was no mention of that here? Could they be saving that as franchise news?

It's so much better than last year's Madden Mobile-esque score bar. It kind of reminds me of Monday Night Football's one, just cleaned up a bit. The only thing I don't like are those two random arrows next to the down and distance.

Yeah i can't imagine those have any purpose so i don't know why they're there. I think the whole thing could be sized down a little bit as well. It's taking up a lot of the screen. Visually it's very clean, but it could use some refinement.

Yes, the score bug definitely is an upgrade not sure what they were thinking for M20 & along with the menu screens (colors). I really want the tackle animations to be polished. Bad tackling animations can really take you out of the immersion of the game. M20 tackling is ok, but needs much needed attention.

Watch it play like madden 20. Or very very similar.
