Madden NFL 21 features Next Gen Player Movement made possible by
the addition of athlete data from the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. The
data, which captures each NFL players’ speed and acceleration on
the field, is fed into Frostbite to drive seamless animation
selection based on their stats. As a result, the game features the
most realistic and fluid player movement to date, further enhancing
the authenticity of the gameplay experience. A revamped play
calling system makes it easier to get the ball in the hands of top
players and save favorite plays for later. In addition, deferred
lighting makes everything look crisper, player bodies have been
improved, a new cloth animation tech has been added, enhancing
silhouettes and even showcases jersey wrinkles as players move
while new location-based audio brings the sounds of the NFL to
life.
“Everyone at EA SPORTS is excited to unleash the power of next
gen Madden NFL 21 and FIFA 21,” said Cam Weber, EVP and Group GM of
EA SPORTS. “Next gen technology has allowed us to make our games
more authentic with sports specific features like NFL’s Next Gen
Stats in Madden NFL 21 and next level player movement and football
physics in FIFA 21. We’re all sports fans and want everyone to feel
sports at the next level through Madden and FIFA this year. This is
just the beginning and we’re excited to continue innovating within
these new platforms.”
FIFA 21 immerses players in a visceral football experience
through EA SPORTS GameCam, inspired by the look and feel of
top-level football broadcasts, as well as LiveLight Rendering, a
deferred lighting system that enhances every aspect of the on-pitch
experience. Additionally, thousands of authentic chants captured
exclusively from the world’s biggest competitions, including the
Premier League, La Liga, and the Bundesliga, deliver the ultimate
EA SPORTS Atmospheric Audio experience, unparalleled in games.
Visually, with the power of Frostbite, fans will notice deeper
definition in player physiques, including flexing muscles and ball
deformation after strikes, and strand-based hair on a selection of
the top footballers.
