If the base madden game on PC was on par with next gen, people would buy it there then mod it for years to come. EA wants those sales especially if they end up charging more for next gen versions

Hype meter for me has not been this high for Madden in over a decade. I loved Madden 21 on NG (and current gen to be honest) and this game looks like they are going to drastically improve the product on and off the gridiron for offline franchise players.

Need it to be a focus going forward though, not just this year.


If they've changed enough this year though, they can get by with one major improvement each year for the next few years, along with tweaking and minor improvements.

Seems promising. I haven't bought Madden in a long while, but willing to if I'm sold

While I do like the post launch updates, It'll still make me want to wait until they are released before I start a Franchise. Yes, they should be able to apply to current Franchises, but I don't want to be in Season 2 when I get the Player Scouting. I do hope they detail what will be added to each update, so I'll know when to start one. It might be a Sept, November, January range update.

In that mode, you'll be able to dive deep into player scouting, with the ability to manage and assign national and regional scouts, with players that gain and lose value on your draft board throughout the course of a season." This is HUGE.

That depends. If you just assign scouts to regions and get back the same lame letter grades, it's not really much of an improvement.


If it's something like what Deuce has envisioned, though, then YES, it is HUGE.

This actually makes the most sense here. However, the fact is, modding for Madden 21 PC has been crawling at a snail's pace. But I suppose it's still a long term threat. But... if they make a better game, no need for modding.

One of the articles.. either the OS one or the IGN one... had a Sean G quote saying it's early Sept for that scouting update too. Really pumped about that.

I see one of the perks to upgrading from the base game to the MVP version or higher is the new "Staff Points" for franchise. Has EA found a small way to monetize the mode? If so, if this leads to franchise being a yearly improvement then I'm all for it!

I'm just assuming you could buy Staff Points to max out your coaching staff if you choose to, anyway. Did anyone else see that?
