Basic gameplay is roughly the same as last year, probably because other than "The Yard" it is just a copy and paste, all the way down to the bugs in franchise mode menu's being the same ones from last year. If you're gonna copy and paste your franchise the LEAST you can do is clean it up. But EA can't even manage the least on this one. I've bought every Madden since 06 but I doubt I get 22 unless there are some major overhauls.
