Madden nfl 21 ps5 review full#
As I mentioned at the beginning, Franchise Mode has gotten a full rework this time and not just another facelift. The real meat of Madden NFL 22 is with the Franchise Mode, which has now become my favorite mode again. There is a lot to manage with each player in the Franchise Mode. Unless this was a glitch, I would go into a meeting with the coach and the lips would be moving, but no voices. There were also times where it almost seemed like they weren’t able to get to the audio for some sections in time. It also doesn’t help the immersion when there are so many audio and visual bugs throughout the cutscenes. Once you’re in there, your options are limited and it feels like you’re just going through someone else’s story. While this is fun to do, I never felt any connection with my player and a lot of that starts with the character creator itself. With the added features to this online focused mode where you can customize your outfit, stats, and Superstar X-Factor, of course they found another revenue stream here.įace of the Franchise is largely the same, where you get to customize a player, go through the draft, and build up your legacy in the NFL. However, while The Yard is only cosmetic its system is so off balance that the grind is massive to even earn a single glove. MUT is still the most egregious when it comes to the micro-transactions, even though they have added more ways to earn packs.
I will, however, mention a bit about The Yard because Madden NFL 22 added another currency to its ridiculous system. I know them, you know them, and there hasn’t been much change to them to warrant getting into them. I’m not going to bother getting into the nitty gritty with all the modes that have been around forever. All the features from the last few Madden’s have also came over with The Yard, Superstar X-Factor, Face of the Franchise, and the classics like MUT.įace of the Franchise lets you create a character and experience the world of a new NFL star. There is one other introduction that I ended up liking and that’s the Dynamic Game Day system, which will alter gameplay depending on how the crowd and momentum are shifting. In fact, this is really the main focus of Madden NFL 22 this year and I’m glad it finally happened. I have to give EA some credit here for finally giving fans the long overdue overhaul to the Franchise mode that has been requested for a long time. While Madden NFL 22 doesn’t exactly break this chain, I feel like this is the first installment in a long time that doesn’t feel like a step back. However, the overhaul of mechanics, animations, physics, and modes that fans have been wanting have been ignored. Madden has had a bad habit of taking one step forward and two steps back for years now, and that is one of the reasons I skipped Madden NFL 21. There has been a lot of flashy updates that add some production value here and there. It helps with franchise fatigue and really lets you put into perspective the iteration changes. I always find it healthy to take a break every now and then from these yearly released franchises.
