Madden 21 is apparently a steaming pile of poo

So apparently the latest incarnation of Madden is the biggest pile of poo they have ever put out. (and they have put out a ton of poo)

36% positive ratings (must be the most hard core madden fan boys)

 

Has anyone played it? Thoughts?

 

I still long for the day that actual competition is brought back to NFL gaming.

EA is lazy & did not do anything to improve franchise mode and believe that is what most people are complaining about. I don’t play franchise & only play online H2H. The gameplay itself is the best in years. Fluid control with ball carriers. They added a defensive adjustments to combat the money plays on offense.  I have enjoyed it so far and have been playing each addition of madden since 03.

I usually love playing Madden but this one kinda sucks. The first game i played, Teddy Bridgewater is walking out onto the field and the announce says “Out comes former NFL MVP, Cam Newton.” Haha

They have absolutely no incentive to make a good product. You watch, once 2K can make a game again Madden will improve greatly.

You got to think too most of these coders/creators were probably working from home without much in the way of supervision/review of their content. Mistakes were bound to happen when all the content is being sourced in and only a few people are actually compiling it.

I bought it this year for the first time in years because I'll need some kind of football if the season gets cancelled.

It's the same game I bought years ago with a few updates. 

Franchise mode is still severely lacking and they continue to push the MUT which is just a microtransaction machine and a means for them to make money off of people. 

It really is sad how bad stagnant the game has gotten. I don't think it's been great since it made the jump to the 360 console, which is also roughly when 2k had to stop making their version of the game.

Still the best football game ever made. EA can kiss my ass. Stopped buying Madden 4 years ago when they proved to me they will never try to improve their game, only update rosters and throw out the same sh*t every year, only this year it's apparently hit rock bottom. 5 more years of this sh*t until the sim license can hopefully go to a team that cares.

I bought it.  As has been said, its pretty much the same game its been for years, with a few minor changes.  The face of the franchise storyline is kind of corny this year, and it basically follows a certain path regardless of how you play or what you do.  For instance they have part of the storyline to be benched after the first playoff game going into the national championship game.  I threw for 400 yards and 5 TDs in the playoff game, and we won by a mile.  There's no way a coach would look at that and say "you know, I think the other guy is the right move here."  WTF?

I certainly hope they fix the tackling animations and player interactions with the PS5.  I'm over the warping into tackles.  And what sucks is its something they would have fixed years ago if they had real competition.

In all honesty if they could just update the rosters and quality of the textures with this game I would buy it.

I've been hearing "once 2K is allowed to make an NFL game again" for about 15 years now.....I dont think that is ever going to happen.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
