how are they making changes.
when i saw tom Brady in a patriots jersey.
that is unacceptable.
plus it was one of the first images with clarity in the demo as well.
when was this response recorded.
as the screen and images on screen behind the speaker.
undermines everything he is talking about.

I know.... Was gonna cop a cheap ps4 version and upgrade for free :lolbron:


how does that work?
as i can always remember copies of older consoles.
still having recent version of games on the current gen console as totally separate.
they never let you upgrade or trade it in.
so can you explain this logic.

EA Sports will allow for digital Madden 21 buyers to upgrade to next-gen for free

EA Sports will allow for digital Madden 21 buyers to upgrade to next-gen for free
You can upgrade Madden 21 to an Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 version.

Madden 21 features new ball carrier controls.

EA Sports
After briefly showing off Madden 21 during May's Xbox Series X event, EA Sports on Tuesday revealed its first real trailer for its forthcoming NFL game due out on Aug. 28.

Showcasing new ball-carrier and pass-rush controls, the new trailer's graphics and gameplay were based on the current generation of consoles. Fans who plan to switch to the Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5, however, will be able to upgrade their digital Xbox One or PlayStation 4 copies for free.

In a statement, EA says that it has reached partnerships with both Microsoftand Sony to offer "Dual Entitlement" where a Madden 21 Xbox One or PlayStation 4 buyer will be able to upgrade for free to Madden 21 on Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 for "no additional cost."

EA says the offer will be available "all the way through the Madden NFL 21 season, up to the release of Madden NFL 22" to give gamers time to buy the new systems. Those who buy a physical version of Madden 21, however, will not be able to upgrade.

It is not immediately clear if those who buy an Xbox One version will be able to convert that game into a PlayStation 5 copy (and vice versa) if they decide to switch platforms. It also is unclear if progress in modes like Ultimate Team or Face of the Franchise will be able to be carried over from one generation of console to the next.

The company is hosting an "EA Play Live" event on Thursday at 4 p.m. PT (7 p.m. ET), in which it promises to further detail its next-generation plans. CNET has reached out to EA for additional comment and will update if it responds.

TYRONE GA!
EA don't know we are in the age of aqaurius and that old shyt gotta go. People waking up. I dont know what these developers be doing for a year

the suits have A LOT to do with the shyt you see. If they can continue to make profit with minimal changes, that's all the suits and shareholders give a fukk about.

Having that exclusive license means a lot.

I will not be buying.

I have historically been huge into Madden franchise but shyt went down hill after 2012

Its borderline unplayable and I wont get the game until the franchise mode is drastically better. At the very least back to the quality of pre-2012

The unknown
I've purchased 17-20 after taking a 3 year break when NCAA died

I think I'm going to sit this one out, or at least get once it hits $20-25. I primarily play franchise mode with my boys (have been since 2005) but they haven't done anything to the mode to entice me to pay full price.

Definitely not buying Madden this gen, think this is the end of an era for football games for me :mjcry:

It only hurts that first time breh :therethere: whether it's 2k, Madden, FIFA, whatever, you know this won't be the last sports game ever. They'll always be there whether they're good or not, so no point in tripping off missing some years.

When the advertise the swat button as a new feature in 17. I was done. Never owned or played a 5 minute quarter since. Madden should be dominating 2k. It shouldn’t even be close. But the damn NFL taxing EA. So EA like we got to make that money back somehow.
