Seriously any "Launch Day" has been pure BS for many years now. So much online era gaming (especially triple A sports titles) are straight garbage, unfinished, "patch dev/earl adopters test" scams for a poor product.

Just to spin something "good" about EA into this. Thats whats awesome about EA Access or EA Play I guess it's called now. I laid off NHL and Fifa this year and just played them when they came on to EA Access. They were both pretty awesome by the time I played them. NHL in particular. When I played the trial I wasn't feeling it at all. Playing it months later on Access it's now one of my favorite sports games in recent memory.

I'm honestly not appreciating anything. It's a major concern that since Madden 20, we've had to deal with WR switching positions with OL randomly. They STILL haven't fixed this on Madden 21. Its concerning.

When the Yard gets more fixes than Franchise..... lmao.

"Fix to some tackling issues sometimes preventing tackle animations from triggering vs. Juke and Jurdle moves"


I see we have a native Spanish speaker writing the article, hehe.


Spanish is one of the best languages there is. There are few lies if any in Spanish. If it sounds a certain way, it's spelled that way. No "gotcha's" from invasive medieval languages hiding in the darkness. /off topic

Why not fix as many bugs as you can before the original release? Isn't that why game testers are hired,to tell the company what needs to be fixed?

Because a few weeks before the NFL season is when fans are ready for some Football, which means maximum sales.

For PC players, if there's any hope the game will be moddable, it will be several months after release anyway. So we'll be waiting regardless.


*However, the Madden Franchise Editor has been released for Madden 21, as has been the dynamic progression tool. While neither of these allow for game play modding or uniform/texture modding, they DO improve the game. With the Franchise Editor in 20 you could swap player assets if you wanted, creating a hodge podge player, and you could export rosters to Excel files and edit a single rating for the entire league, and so on.

If they would give codes to people during the beta that would actually critique the game instead of their buddies that just want a head start before everyone else gets the game....they would have fixed these issues before launch. Pandemic or not, fix your game before you release it. stop "copy and pasting"
when you write code over an existing code, the lag, the hiccup and the long load times happen.

When will they start discussing Madden next gen?

So nothing on formation subs or fatigue in franchise. Awesome!
