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.

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

It feels like the speed of the game was increased which is not at all a bad thing imo.

The QB releases are much quicker and more fluid. Lamar Jackson plays like Lamar Jackson. If you loose contain on him you will pay for it in chunks of yards.

Tackling seems to be improved/smoother

Don't like how WR's react to high passes sometimes. Sometimes not making any attempt to play the ball

Still can't play a cold weather quick game without snow as far as I can see. I've been asking for this, going on a decade now. Football is played in cold weather. Its a small detail but if I want to play the Packers in Soldier Field I want to play in cold weather. Not sunny and 75. I want to see the vapor trail from the players breath. It can be totally visual, I don't care. It doesn't need to effect game play.

Anyone else feel like the CPU QBs are unstoppable on All-Madden? I feel like my DBs are useless

One caveat: Please EA, for the love of everything ever holy, do not increase user speed, keep it throttled down.


And this is why we are passing.

Brain dead cpu = no longevity in franchise mode.

Such a shame.

This was actually a big problem for me and still remains to be a problem...lack of defense...I was able to calm the robo qb by lowering cpu qb acc to 5 and wr catch to 35....

Im now trying AP again, and it's to easy, so Im going to have to roll on AM.....

There is user boosting for different things under the hood & is one of the reasons why AP is too easy especially on default sliders.
