New Game Mode in Madden 21? The Yard?

[Thunderhorse]

This concept works so much better with almost every other sport. It will be interesting to see how they make it work with football given the nature of the sport.

I have been waiting for EA to offer this for years. Literally years. I am genuinely curious about what the mode looks like and for the first time in an entire console generation I will seriously consider buying the game at launch.

There is a “paywall” aspect to MyPlayer in 2K but it pales in comparison to their equivalent to “MUT”, MyTeam. Players can still max out their individual superstar without ever having to spend a dime. I can deal with the $ part of it, I may even be happy to, if it means I can finally play football WITH my friends in a competing environment that has a more even playing field (versus that of MUT).

EA’s version of MyCourt, The One, had no micro-transactions. Neither does World of Chel and EASHL.

I assume EA will want to monetize those modes, but they aren’t yet. Same way with KO Superstar, which is actually a lot of fun.

I'm curious if it'll be like the 7v7 two-touch football matches from Madden 18's Longshot mode.

Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing gameplay of the mode. Haven't bought Madden since 18

Wow I never knew that existed lol. So many cutscenes in Longshot I just couldn't force myself to do it.


That looks pretty rough, but it's been 3 years so if it's similar hopefully it won't look so dull.

Honestly, this is what I think it'll be. The leaked screenshot shows a player in pads and helmet, but I think they'll end up going more of this route. This allows for more cosmetic upgrades instead of a uniform.



As for game play, I hope they add some cool stuff like jumping routes while you're guarding the receiver. If the receiver can use the right stick to make cuts, then let the corner use the stick to jump a route.
