The reality of Madden is that if you are craving an NFL football experience then you don’t really have any other choices. Purchasing the game on Madden 21 coins Stadia could show EA there’s interest in more of their sports titles coming into the platform, which is an overall great thing, it’s just too poor Madden couldn’t have a better entrance to serve as its debut.
To get a more in-depth analysis of the game itself, check out our Madden NFL 21 review over on Windows Central. Now let us dive into the gaps on Stadia.
As is the standard now with the Stadia edition of AAA games, it plays wonderfully and does not have any noticeable issues with lag or latency if your connection is good enough. Anytime you play Madden online kicking does suffer from minor latency issues, but that is true across all versions of this game — not just Stadia. This year it is worse than normal so you should absolutely expect to miss a few field goals and extra points. They need to have changed the internet code for how kicking is handled or something because even on PS4 and PS5 I was having problems hitting kicks just straight and those issues persist at the Stadia variant.
According to a SpeedTest I have a 599Mbps download speed, 12Mbps upload rate, and 14ms of ping on Comcast XFINITY as I write this. Google recommends at least 10Mbps download rate for 720p streaming, 20Mbps download rate for 1080p streaming, and at least 35Mbps download speed for 4K streaming.
As for me, I pay an extra fee to have boundless data in my personal home network. But for anyone with no choice, data usage is a big element for Stadia games.
Concerning data usage, it will of course change based on your quality preferences. If you are aiming to perform Madden NFL 21 with Stadia Guru at 4K then you are probably looking at about 16-20GB of information use per hour. As this is a sport you can play solo, online, or anyplace with buddies on the same Stadia connection (through Chromecast with multiple Stadia controls or on mobile or a PC browser with multiple controllers plugged in), it’s impossible to understand just how much data it will suck since hours will vary for everyone.
I played with Madden NFL 21 on Chromecast through my 4K TV, on PC at a Microsoft Edge Browser, and on mobile both with the Razer Kishi and utilizing just touchscreen controls. Unexpectedly, Madden is actually quite playable using touchscreen controls once you get used to where the digital buttons are situated. I’m still frustrated that I can not remap or change in which the buttons are on my screen since doing things such as holding R2 to sprint are awkward if you’d like to also be able to cover the cheap Madden nfl 21 coins ball up prior to an effect or immediately juke with the right stick. When it comes to the basics of playing however, you can finish an entire match on Stadia utilizing only touchscreen controls should you really wanted or at the very least perform some management functions like admin work or go through transaction offers.
