When my created player snapped the ball - standing sideways over it - then hauled in a short pass and lateraled to an AI teammate trailing the play, it seemed vaguely rugby-ish. Another, a double pass in the backfield before I bombed the Rams’ Jalen Ramsey on a seam route, resembled an old-fashioned ball reversal from basketball.
One of the plays I grilled up in Madden NFL 21’s new “The Yard” mode reminded me of hockey players cycling the puck before a slap shot.
