NFL 2K21: 10 Things Fans Want To See

3. A Solid Single Player Experience

Of course, it'd be nice to have more than some exhibitions or some sort of 'Rush To The Super Bowl' mode to play with. Assuming 2K want to eat into Madden's market share and do things well that EA perhaps don't, they'll come up with some in-depth single-player thrills that weave a good story.

For all the bells and whistles of Franchise in Madden 20, and for all the tightly-structured narrative QB 1 provides, EA's series lacks some single-player thrills beyond the superficial. What if 2K fill that void? What if they give football fans a really riveting, immersive mode that favours scouting, player coaching, scheme devising and satisfying play-by-play execution (or failure) on the field?

Sounds exciting, doesn't it? Imagine getting caught up in all that pre-game prep when you're on lengthy bus/train/plane rides. Drafting up a defensive playbook to stop Derrick Henry from chewing up yards, or taking Mahomes out of his comfort zone would become hours of fun.
