New Game Mode in Madden 21? The Yard?

I agree. Between focus on FoTF and The Yard, it's obvious to see why Franchise continues to get neglected.
I wouldn't have an issue if Franchise was in a better state. I get always wanting to be innovative. But at least fix what you already have in game.

Love when the the only sim nfl game in town focuses on modes that have nothing to do with sim nfl games. While the real sim mode is ignored.

When you are paying more for an exclusive license to create a SIM football experience why would you sacrifice resources that could go towards the sim aspect of the game? This just seems like an attempt to compete with 2k.

We go through this with every gen not sure why it comes as a surprise. They can't just ignore the previous consoles in the first year because so many sales come from them.

The old consoles are going to severely hold the game back because the new ssds are a double edged sword. They can't go all in on them because that would make the game borderline unplayable on hard drives.

Here's what I think happened
2K gets the right to make a non simulation football game, then the EA Execs panties get in a bunch, and force the Devs to focus on a non simulation game mode.

Thus limiting franchise updates

Sounds like football a group of friends would create in their neighborhood. If so, I would hope the players are not in full NFL team uniforms, but maybe something like would be seen on an NFL practice field during no contact drills.

I'm becoming more and more curious as to how the Madden team is actually structured because the progression of this series is incredibly confusing.

Rex Dickson said quite explicitly that resources that went to MUT resulted in fewer resources going to Franchise mode. Speculate whatever you want, especially about specific details, but the guy who ran the game left little room for doubt about whether or not one mode affects another.
