I’d rather get a nice hefty discount towards Madden 22 with all that Offline Franchise purchasers have been put through, then to see that “None” of that will carry over and we would have to start a new Franchise from scratch

Completely and utterly ridiculous. Offline is always overshadowed who wants to start a new franchise in December. Wow

It appears that EAs Dual Entitlement and Xbox's Smart Delivery are different. Wonder what the difference is?

Dual Entitlement - You get current gen & next gen for the same price


Smart Delivery - If you're playing on current gen, Xbox will download the current gen version for you automatically. If you're playing on next gen, it'll download the next gen version for you automatically. Essentially, the Xbox takes the guess work out of it so you're always playing the best available version of the game.

The EA Madden team is even struggling to do a port to next-gen... All it will end up being is Madden current-gen with slightly better graphics and presentation. If it was a massively overhauled game like NBA2k they wouldn't be giving it as a free upgrade. Madden is going to disappoint the community massively twice in 1 year.

The new versions of the games will, according to a press release, add "blazing fast load times, the most realistic, fluid player movement ever in EA SPORTS titles, authentic game day experiences inside stadiums and new player detail unlocked by deferred rendering and lighting." The PS5 versions will also add haptic feedback using the DualSense controller.

I'm VERY interested to hear more about the player movement. When people still tout APF over Madden, that's the primary thing they talk about.

Hopefully, they finally get it right for next gen. Madden 19's beta had great player movement before the MUT and competitive fanboys complained.

This is why it is laughable when people try and point out how 2k is just as bad as EA these days. They aren't close and they haven't been close at all. 2k's had years where they didn't get as much done as fans had hoped, but their worst years still implement more changes for one aspect of the game than Madden gets for the entire game in its best year.

NBA 2k caught up to Madden despite the NBA being a less popular league this generation. I won't be surprised one bit if NBA 2k is the premier sports game not named Fifa moving forward with the new consoles. 2k clearly is taking advantage of the new hardware and isn't afraid of innovation nor are they reluctant to improve aspects that don't feed into microtransactions. Madden on the other hand...
