Madden 21 everyone. All we expected, and still found a way to disappoint. Seeing the other games featured in the Series X showcase, they make Madden truly look like the joke it is. Guess we’ll be getting NFL 2K back sooner than we thought....#BoycottMADDEN21pic.twitter.com/Ez0Z0iU0fQ
I do have to say... Madden 21 Face of the Franchise seems like it's exactly what we wanted.
1) Start in High school 2) 2 seasons of College Football Playoffs 3) Choice to convert to HB or WR 4) RUN the 40 yard dash at the combine 5) Storylines EACH season in the NFL

Also remember him getting legit pissed that I bamboozled you guys and chose the Browns so I had multiple first and second round picks.
I hope I don't break down and pick this up. each year the last 4 years, family/in-laws have always either bought it for my birthday; or given a gamestop gift card. last year I was just irritated wtih the game. I played it quite a bit for maybe a 3 weeks to a month, and it has sat on the shelf collecting dust ever since.
I ventured into MUT for the first time last year, grinding through whatever to get packs etc. and the MUT gameplay actually felt entirely different to me. Not sure if that's a real thing or not; but it just had a different feel. Is it possilbe they have 2 sets of code or whatever to run Franchise and MUT?
I also liked to play connected Franchise as a LB, or as a CB. But what would grind my gears is, it didn't matter if you did your role / job in the defense. to get development points (I think that's what it's called) you - as a defender - basically had to let a player catch a pass, then tackle / let him get open so a play would come your way. Same as a LB; if you did your job in the run game / played your assignment / gap...there was no reward.
So after grinding like that for hours and hours...you're better of just running all over the field doing what ever you want. If I recall, I 'think' NBA 2K used to give you points / reward you for playing the role in the offense / play.
that's when i shelved it. I like to play sim style; so just running all over, no regard to assignment or even the defense that is called...bummed me out. Getting intercepted playing QB when throwing a 20 yd pass downfield by a MLB 10 yds from LOS was irritating. getting sucked into blocks as a defender was irritating.
maybe I'm just getting older, or tired of playing a game with the same lingering issues year after year; or a combo of both...I don't play nearly as much Madden as I did a decade ago. [Reply]
I bought this years version simply because Mahomes was on the cover. Won’t buy another copy until they actually fix the game....especially Franchise mode. [Reply]
I've played Madden since 93 or 94. So I'm not against Madden at all. But if I'm being truthful this game is not where I want it to be. It's not where it SHOULD be based on what they've done with the game in past years. I'm a franchise guy and EA primarily focus on MUT because it makes big money for them. It's a shame because the potential to make it a mindblowing franchise experience is there.
The one thing that really pisses me off about these trailers is that they keep bringing up the celebrations like that is a selling feature. Fuck that. [Reply]
In that trailer they show Kerryon Johnson get lit up..Johnson is by far the most vocal active player when it comes to to saying madden is a shit game, ironic eh? [Reply]
