Newer ideas could come to fruition for Madden 22.But it still feels held back by a lack of bravery.The Yard is one of the most refreshing changes in years.Like Franchise mode, how you felt about MUT last year will be reflected this year. Madden Ultimate Team works well enough, has a lot of bells and whistles, and obviously benefits from better on field mechanics, but it still is just Exhibition with loot boxes. One game, after throwing for 4 TDs (including one 34 yarder), the player character was benched, because the story dictated he’d had a bad game. If Face was all about high school drama between two rising football stars, it could be fantastic and unique, but it moves to the NFL too quickly and gets lazy. The worst part is, this treacle-soaked drama could actually be a great mode if the end goal wasn't the NFL. This rival is played by Tye Sheridan of X-Men and Ready Player One fame, but ‘played’ is too strong an adjective for what he brings.Īll of his lines feel like they were mumbled down the phone at 6am. Your friend/rival has a congenital heart defect, a secret he tells you within minutes of meeting you that’s the level of melodrama here. However, it feels like Madden is more inspired by NBA 2K’s narrative, and if that’s the case it falls short dramatically.įace of the Franchise is a guilty pleasure of a mode, with CW Network levels of drama constantly in play. The obvious comparison is to Madden’s cousin, FIFA, and its storymode The Journey. Exactly the same."įace of the Franchise is another core mode, one which puts you in the shoes of a high schooler who gradually makes his way to the NFL, and hopefully even the Hall of Fame with hands weighed down by Super Bowl rings. "Franchise mode itself is difficult to review, because it’s the same as it has been since Madden 19. So, it’s great, and will likely continue to be a popular mode in this instalment, but it’s difficult to give credit to Madden 21 when the game itself adds nothing. Exactly the same, right down to the aesthetics, the Super Bowl celebration footage, and the way you make progress and control your team. Franchise mode itself is difficult to review, because it’s the same as it has been since Madden 19. Outside of simply playing football, there are three ‘core’ modes in Madden 21: Franchise mode, Face of The Franchise mode, and Madden Ultimate Team.
MUT is the star player on this team, and Madden knows it.More energy goes into Face of the Franchise, but it’s woefully misspent.It feels like Madden doesn’t care about the fan favorite Franchise mode.
