So while the in game currency is used for cosmetics, the leveling system is in place to make your player better and give him new or upgraded skills. Your custom player also levels up throughout your Madden NFL 21 play, including non-Yard modes. The mode can be played solo or online multiplayer. Diving into The Yard, you’ll be thrown together with 5 other players in 6-on-6 action. This reminded me of the NHL 20 player creation for the Pond mode, I’m also told this is similar to what the NBA 2K series does but I do not play those titles. Completing these challenges will earn you in game credits towards customization options for your player. After creating your player, you’ll notice some challenges on the main menu. Upon booting up Madden NFL 21 you’re told to create your player for The Yard. Let’s change it up to something that is actually completely new in Madden NFL 21 The Yard. One noticeable gameplay change is the option to taunt after “big plays.” I used the quotations on big play because I feel like I was given the taunt option way too often, playing against a friend and using the taunt over and over might get some feelings hurt along with becoming annoying. At many points within my first game I heard a lot of the commentary jokes and quips in which I’ve grown accustom. I realize you shouldn’t expect a full overhaul every year, but this might be just a little too similar. Some new overlays for the TV style in game presentation and that’s mostly it. Booting into an Exhibition game it seems to be more of my initial impressions. On the plus side you don’t have to worry about learning how to navigate the menus as you should know where everything is, if you played Madden 20. I did a double take as I navigated but it didn’t totally shock me as EA has done this before with FIFA titles. Upon booting up Madden NFL 21 I became very worried.įrom the boot up cinematic to the menu system, Madden NFL 21 looks exactly like Madden 20 with a semi-fresh coat of paint (kind of like the Browns’ new jerseys). You see, I played a lot of Madden 20 and enjoyed its features from last year, but still feel like a broken record when I hammer on about EA not having competition and taking the easy way out most years. What concerned me is that outside of The Yard (more on it later), I didn’t see any information on new features or gameplay elements. For me, after months of living in the darkest timeline I was fiending for some new NFL action, especially with the preseason completely cancelled. Madden NFL 21 is here with NFL MVP Lamar Jackson as it’s cover athlete this season. Many things have changed this year due to COVID-19 and the NFL season is going to look very different than previous years, but that doesn’t affect the annual Madden release.
