The Madden 21 release date is closing in fast.
However, like every big EA game, there is not really ONE release date, there are a few. The first comes on EA Access…
Latest news – The Yard revealed!
Madden’s latest game mode, The Yard, was finally revealed today by EA.

What is EA Access?
Let’s start with what EA Access is.
EA Access is similar to Xbox Game Pass and other subscription services. For a monthly fee, PS4 and Xbox One gamers can play EA games as much as they want.
There is a slight catch, in that the newest games don’t arrive straight away on EA Access. FIFA 20 hit EA Access in May 2020, A long, long time after its release date.

The other benefit of EA Access is that subscribers get a 10 hour trial of major sports games before their full release.
