Anyone who’s purchased any of the latest in EA Sports’ Madden NFL franchise over the past 15 years has at least heard the yearly gripe from jaded fans: “You’re paying $60 for a roster update.”
That’s not the case with Madden NFL 21. This time, you’re paying $60 for a roster update, a whole mess of ugly typos and hiccups, and some interesting new additions which fulfill their promise about as well as Johnny Manziel.
Okay, maybe not quite as disappointing as Johnny Football. Regardless, this is the most underwhelming new installment of Madden since I began reviewing the franchise professionally seven years ago, and it’s in the running for the series’ lowest point in decades.
Again, Madden NFL 21 is more than just “the same game with rookies added.” The latest iteration includes a brand-new mode called The Yard, an arcade-style alternative to the more traditional sim that evokes a backyard football vibe.
