Features to watch out for this new game
Several new features could be seen in the Madden 21 video trailer. Given below are the features that make this whole new gameplay different from the other Madden games.
-
The game is all about skill stick:
In this Madden 21 game, the focus will be on the right-stick trickery and EA has guaranteed that you will be able to link clever combos, which will help in providing outstanding gameplay moments. Slide hurdles are one of the new moves that is added in this game. And, it can be motioned into jukes or spins. Many people who have watched the video trailer of this game, believe that Madden 21 should be all about Darren Sproles or Christian McCaffrey. But this is hard to predict through an online platform and prevent Madden from becoming an arcade game. If the traditional control schemes are included then the change will be considered a good one.

Defense receives an additional focus:
The defensive side of the ball is considered to be pretty important if EA wants to avoid trick-stick abuse. The tackling animation requires revamping but now in this particular game, you will receive three types of tackle. The three different tackles are improved dive tackling, breakdown, and location-based. Even though all of them are considered to be a welcome addition but the “location-based” is the most transformative tackling in theory. This means your defender will definitely understand where the pylon, first-down marker, and the end zone is when it goes in for a tackle and get to adjust its body position.
