If you buy FIFA 21 or Madden NFL 21 for the PlayStation 4, you’ll be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for free – and here’s what publisher EA Sports has in store for us. Both titles will use the new DualSense controller to provide “rich and responsive haptic feedback” that promises to let you “feel the rhythm of the game in your hands”.
The two titles will also load at lightning speeds, letting you “get to the kick-off in seconds”. Crucially a new lighting system will improve the authenticity of each scene, while “next-gen technology creates deeper definition in player physiques”. Furthermore, Madden NFL 21 will be using spatialised audio technology so that you can “hear the spine-tingling roar of the stadium […] for a completely immersive experience”.
That’s not all: both games are promising off-ball humanisation. “From adjusting shin pads in the 89th minute to screaming for passes in the endzone, player humanisation unlocks the most authentic character behaviours ever seen in sports video games letting you see the detail and feel all the emotion of football at the highest level,” the publisher claims.
Finally, both games will feature improved weather effects as well as “contextual player, bench, and fan reactions [that] let you feel the explosive passion of a last-minute winner or a game-clinching touchdown”. It’s all sounding rather promising, but the proof as always will be in the pudding. We’re looking forward to seeing the next-gen titles in action.

The controller now shakes uncontrollably when England get past the group stages of the Euros to accurately recreate the unforgiving nature of the media and the fans’ expectations. The speaker blares out “It’s coming home” over and over and over again while Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer get quietly optimistic. Then the triggers seize up while playing as the team chokes against Iceland and you’re berated by the all-English commentary team.
@nessisonett Apparently, if you choose Scotland the pad will just automatically keep taking you back to the home screen.
Isn't the same thing they keep saying with each release since [insert franchise name here] ?
"Now with the haptic feedback of the DualSense controller, it will really feel like you're throwing a ball to a wide receiver as you hurl the gamepad toward the screen in frustration during another laggy online match"
@ApostateMage Well played, you got me good 😂😂😂
Like I EASILY predicted yesterday, FIFA21 on the supposed next-gen doesn't even look as good as PES2020.
89th minute? LOL it's American football mate, we play for 60 minutes here in the States!
"When you kick the ball, you don't just feel the ball. You ARE the ball"
The pad will give a certain noise "cha Ching" and a evil laugh when you buy an in game LB or MT
ISS Pro on the PS1 already had this humanisation. The last 2 generations have been disappointing in that regard
@nessisonett this has made my day!
