Madden NFL 21 to Feature 'The Yard': 6v6 Team Play
Madden NFL 21 will feature 'The Yard,' which is similar to modes in other EA SPORTS franchises including LIVE Run (NBA LIVE), Chel (NHL), and VOLTA (FIFA). 'The Yard' features 6v6 ironman football with over the top gameplay including double passes, laterals, multi-snap, 'one-timer,' and a special scoring system. Users can create their custom player and develop their own set Prototype (play style), X-Factor, Abilities, and Skills. The mode can be played solo or as part of squads.
The Yard: Underground is currently available in Madden NFL 21 Mobile to give users a headstart with Rep & Madden Rank, Earned Currency (Cred), Avatar, and Gear Collection being shared between mobile and console once the account is linked. To begin the year, there will be over 2,000 individual pieces of gear for users to acquire.
At launch, there will be four different venues for users to select from: Miami Port, Lambeau Tailgate, F.O.B. Nico, and Brandenburg Football Festival. The developer blog stated that throughout the year, EA will be updating 'The Yard' with new Prototypes, new venues, new players (teammates), and more gear.
