Starting today in the all-new Madden NFL 21 Mobile app, players
can kick off their experience and create their avatar in The Yard:
Underground to begin earning rewards by playing a single-player,
narrative journey with 5-on-5 football gameplay. However, when
Madden NFL 21 launches on August 28 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and
PC, gameplay in The Yard will center on 6-on-6 backyard-inspired
football with the option for players to play solo, online co-op vs.
the CPU or online head-to-head multiplayer in teams of one, two, or
three players. While the gameplay on mobile and console is
different, the goal in The Yard and The Yard: Underground remains
the same, get the “W” with style. Plus, players can connect* their
accounts and seamlessly access their one-of-a-kind avatar, gear,
in-game currency, and Madden Rank via a shared inventory system in
The Yard: Underground on mobile and The Yard all year long.
“We wanted to create a new way for players to express themselves
and take on small-sided football in an arcade-style experience
that’s completely new to Madden,” said Seann Graddy, Executive
Producer of Madden NFL 21. “The Yard is fast, thrilling and most
importantly fun. Players will delve into all new gameplay on mobile
and on consoles that will bring to life the backyard football that
NFL players and fans grew up loving, where the rules are relaxed,
and you can win with attitude.”
House rules are the name of the game and creativity after the
snap is where The Yard’s all-new gameplay takes full effect. New
animations lead to momentum-shifting moments, where players can run
up the score with extended play combinations. In the Gillette Style
Zone, players will be able to customize their avatar, including
facial hair, hairstyle and more, to express their individuality.
Visiting the Gear Store allows players to outfit their avatar in
fresh looks, with exclusive new gear drops planned all season long.
Players will also develop their own playstyle as they rack up wins
in The Yard, all while earning experience points, rewards and
competing in new field locations with unique vibes and varied rule
sets.
Download the Madden NFL 21 Mobile today in the App Store or via
Google Play to jump into The Yard: Underground to get started and
take on solo challenges. For players eager to see more of The Yard
on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, tune in August 13 to the Madden
NFL 21 social channels for a deeper look.
Madden NFL 21 Mobile is an all new way to experience Madden NFL
on-the-go, while still featuring everything players have come to
