#MADDEN NFL 21 FACE OF THE FRANCHISE HOW TO#
This also means because of how effective man defense is, you’re going to get pressured a lot and you might find yourself becoming frustrated quickly if you aren’t aware of how to beat man defense right away with the pressure that will surely be coming in your face. Now don’t get me wrong, obvious mismatches will still be exploited, but because of the aggressive of defenders in both man and zone, you’re going to really need to know your angles and when to throw at the right time to consistently succeed against man defense. Man defense is probably going to be the name of the game as it currently stands. With the running game, you truly have to get the numbers advantage to have consistent success on the ground.

So, I’m curious if this will get patched in an upcoming update to lessen the furiousness of the pass rush before they drive many of the gamers away who just want to play backyard football with their favorite quarterback. Now, gamers not used to just how fast real quarterbacks have to, and do, get rid of the ball will have a huge problem with how effective the pass rush is. Something that I do hope is addressed is how well the defensive line disengages against running quarterbacks, limiting their effectiveness as well. Even if you try to emulate what a quarterback would do, the game will not let you sit in the pocket forever and will hold close to the average time to throw a quarterback has in the NFL and less if your offensive line isn’t up to par. The game completely eliminates users dropping super deep (which is good) because outside rushers will get after the quarterback instantly. The most in-your-face thing about Madden 23 after playing even just one game is how effective the pass rush is at getting to the quarterback. If a defender is barreling down on you, you’re either subjected to being sucked into a sack when you thought you had more time or your quarterback’s accuracy takes a noticeable hit when you throw because of the pressure, as passes will land in random spots sometimes right in the defender’s path to get intercepted, which adds another layer to a potential problem I’ll go over. If you aren’t familiar with route combinations and are picking plays at random, you’re going to struggle as the learning curve is a bit high because of the obstacles somebody just beginning to play the game will face. In the passing game, I’m not going to sugarcoat it. It removes some of the ridiculous in-traffic catches that the ball would wrap through defenders, but also creates incredible catches or interceptions because of the ball getting dislodged in traffic. In our time with the game, I do have to give a shoutout to the ball physics. In previous years I’ve found it harder to make these types of moves consistently and get tackled with ease, but holding the left trigger while you cut has definitely opened up more creativity in the open field for the average gamer to make highlight reel plays The 360 cuts you’re able to perform really opens up the open field game, and I’ve had a blast making hard cuts on a dime with agile players against aggressive defenders. Now, the player movement is really great. I’m truly interested in the lasting power of this as it’s fun to experiment and see just how far away from the receiver you can throw a pass, but again I wonder how many people will use this or stay with the classic passing as they may find this too hard to consistently use past the first month of the game’s cycle. Like with Target Passing in Madden 18, Madden 23 has introduced another mechanic that attempts to give those willing to try it a different and advantageous way to pass the ball. Seeing different ways ball carriers fall to the ground depending on where the second defender comes from truly shows what current-gen gaming is all about The ability to “hit everything” and see different animations play out no matter where the ball handler and defenders are, is amazing to witness.

If you are on PC or last gen, you’ll still have the same gameplay you’ve had for years.


The big new feature for gameplay in Madden 23 is the branded “Field Sense” system that brings a number of changes on the field…for current-gen console players, at least.
