Madden 21 cross play

Yeah man.. EA is really dropping the ball on so many accounts....  in due time Madden will go the way of NBA live if they dont straighten this mess up.....  And the contract with NFL wont save them if this type stuff continues.......

Very disappointing...   smh unbelievable

EA Games should really consider this and start putting greed aside.  The nickel and diming micro transactions would only increase due to players having fan bases on multiple consoles. Turning on the option  for each user to be able to have this on or off as other AAA games do. This is no longer a console issue it's in the hands of the developer. Remove your hand from the cookie jar and let it fill back up EA. does not mean you don't have to buy the game for each console.  Just allow the fans of the games to play together.  Im not buying madden again until it's cross play not that it matters. 

To back up what @EA_Blueberry said, @EA_KRAELO said the same thing during Good Morning Madden.  He took it back to the developers.  Cross-play between current gen and next gen consoles will not happen.  Gameplay is just radically different because of next gen stats.  Current gen machines can't render the movement allowed in next gen consoles.  So, cross-generation play will be impossible.

Can PS5 Madden Users Plays PS4 Madden Users Online?

Some have asked if users who have the PS5 and are playing the next-gen version would be able to compete against others online who are playing Madden 21 on a current-gen system. The answer to that question is no. However, the user can always play the current-gen version of the game, which they will still have access to on a next-gen console. That way, they can still compete with others who haven’t upgraded.
