Franchise Mode will include the updates that were added, but there’s nothing new here. The modes carry over from the last generation, but you can import cloud saves. If you are expecting a new gameplay experience, it won’t happen.
You would think you could better hear defenders coming from one area, but this could be that a lot is going on at once and can’t be recognized. Positional audio doesn’t sound as apparent when playing the game. Crowds, stadium music and player chatter are positional, but this is most noticeable during cutscenes. The PlayStation 5 also brings its 3D Audio to the game. Hits feel and sound ferocious thanks to the controller. What is the big game changer is using the hit stick. Quarterbacks can now feel the pressure, but the rumble isn’t hard enough to notice a difference. This is opposite of NBA 2K21where it gets harder to press the triggers when stamina gets low. You’ll feel your player’s every footstep and getting up to speed requires more force on the triggers. It would gradually return to normal, but it was noticeable.ĮA added Haptic Feedback to the DualSense controller on PlayStation 5. Another issue I encountered is if the camera shifts to the field, even during the day, and there was a major change in lighting, the field looked dark. The snow while playing seems to be low resolution on the field. It crawled along in frame rate during the pre-game cutscene, but this is the only time I encountered this. Upon first load of the game (and loading times are instantaneous), you are thrown into last year’s AFC Championship at night in the snow. Playing games at night or in the weather creates a more dramatic effect. The lighting engine has been overhauled and it makes a big difference. What you won’t notice is a variety of these changes when playing the game besides a receiver taking a different approach to his route thanks to the Next Gen stats.
You’ll notice better animations and gang tackling in the field. Crowds are better and you can even celebrate in the crowd. There are more cutscenes and all of this is apparent in those. EA has done a better job at creating different player models, but it isn’t anything major. Player faces are more detailed and jerseys flex more. The visuals on next-gen consoles do receive a bump, but nothing substantial. These replays aren’t all that frequent and there’s still an overall lack of stat overlays during games. The inclusion of Next Gen stats and the occasional new replay that implements these stats provide a boost. Madden NFL 21 on the next generation doesn’t do much to differentiate itself from the previous generation. The result are subtle, yet noticeable changes that still leaves Madden looking and feeling like Madden in the grand scheme of things.

This, along with 4K resolutions and a 60 FPS experience plus a new lighting engine should propel the series going forward. The inclusion of Next Gen stats from the NFL will allow for a more realistic experience as the players will better closely replicate their individual positions on the field. With Madden NFL 21, the team at EA Tiburon is basing its gameplay off of new data to change the feel of the title. With new hardware, there’s the opportunity to rethink a strategy and build from the ground up if need be. Every new console cycle is a chance to push forward gaming franchises for the better.
