MADDEN NFL 21 GAMEPLAY UPDATE

The Yard is undoubtedly the biggest new addition to Madden NFL 21 a new backyard football-inspired mode that hopes to inject some over-the-top fun. I think I still prefer the cinematic cheesiness of the Longshot story mode of Madden NFL 18 and 19 though. As story modes in sports games go, it’s not bad at all. And no longer are you confined to just being a quarterback this year you can eventually take up the positions of running back and wide receiver as well. A preposterous one in many ways, complete with a pointless cameo by Snoop Dogg, but it is entertaining. Thankfully, the Face of the Franchise story mode has at least been on the receiving end of some work. Needless to say, it should entertain those looking for something a bit different to standard online play.

The better you play, the more draft picks you get. That’s an online-focused mode in which you’re given the opportunity to draft players and make moves to emerge victorious in tournaments, by the way. So, if you mostly find yourself spending time in those modes, there’s little point in investing in Madden NFL 21 unless you missed last year’s entry – especially considering Superstar KO is included from the outset. You’ll not find any changes of value in Franchise, for example, or even Ultimate Team. The majority of Madden NFL 21‘s modes are pretty much unchanged from last year. Well, apart from a brand new mode called The Yard, but that’s ultimately disappointing.

Rather, it’s because there’s very little that’s genuinely new and noteworthy. It’s not because it’s a bad game – it’s got some bugs, sure, but they’ll hopefully be ironed out with its day one patch.

Unless you absolutely must have the latest roster update and gameplay tweaks, you should probably skip this year’s Madden NFL 21.
