I will say I do like the coaching option features though. I want to be a fan but damn does this game fall so short. Im not just a bad player bitching about this game. Where as in prior years you can level the playing field with your play. It does make a big difference with what team you play with. It also feels like 21 has a huge disparity between teams. And madden is good for 2-3 drops a game on crucial moment passes. Offensively I see my routes get PI’d and rerouted with no flags. Man coverage locks everything down but but always gets beat In crossers. The fact that this works is totally ignorant of actual NFL football. Pretty much everyone I play online does the same thing Madden doesn’t reward players for strategy.
I was expecting some leap forward but same problems from the old games arise here. It’s sad to see what this game has become. Got out of video games for a while but recently picked up a Series X and Madden 21. So I used to play madden quite a lot back in the day. EDIT: Everyone plays this game the same way*
