Madden NFL 20-II

Madden NFL 20-II is the highly anticipated sequel to Madden NFL 20, announced at Inside XBOX on May 7th, 2020. It would be released for Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC on the Origin platform. Madden NFL 20-II is an American football video game adapted from the ongoing tv series known as the National Football League (NFL), developed by EA Tiburon and published by Electronic Arts. It was released on March 21st, 2021. It once again features Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as the cover athelete.
It was rereleased in 10K resolution on March 21st, 2030 on Playstation 6, Xbox Spider Web, Nintendo Twistii, and Google SmartStadia. 
==Plot==
Taking place after the events of Madden NFL 20, Football has been officially outlawed. Patrick Mahomes and the other City Chiefs go to court for the right to play football in a ten year court battle. In 2030, American Football and the National Football League reopens, but the world has since changed drastically so the world of Football must adapt too. This requires younger players. Patrick Mahomes retires from the sport and raises a family. 
The new version of Football, known as Football II, requires players to be drafted in at conception. Mothers are required to help train their aspiring sports stars in the womb, with their first official game to begin nine seconds after they exit the womb. 
John Madden, who is being kept alive with cyrogenic fluids and the blood of former players, watches as Football II becomes a baby bloodsport and laughs manically. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes, realizing what Football has become (which is Football II: Baby Bloodsport), rounds up every single previous cover athelete from the Madden series to reclaim the sport they love so dear against a new team of players that consists of blood thirsty babies trained to play football in the womb.
Can Patrick Mahomes succeed or will the world of Football fall into unspeakable despair under John Madden's grip?
==Gameplay==
Madden NFL 20-II features several new mechanics, as the game is split between two "personalized career campaigns" that follow the new sport, Football II, or the old sport, Football I. In Football II's personalized career campaign, you play as Johnny Socket, a baby drafted into the NFL at conception. In Football I's personalized career campaign, you play as a player-created college quarterback who joins Patrick Mahomes in reclaiming the spirit of Football and not the demented creature it's become. These are known as the Dark Story and Hero Story respectively. 
In Football II, several new mechanics were introduced. 
*Umblical Cord- All players have a umblical cord at the start of the game. They can use this trip other players, use it to make their mothers pull them back quickly, or even use it to strangle other players at a penalty cost.
*Evolution - As your football baby player plays, they quickly develop other skills that can aid in their football career. These include sight, hearing, touch, and a understanding of object permanence. 
*Crawl - Your football player can perfom a slow crawl to cover the ball while moving and kicking it with their knees. 
All other features from Madden NFL 20 return, such as Superstar KO mode, Frachise Mode, and Ultimate Team.
==Release==
Madden NFL 20-II was released on March 21st, 2021. It would later be rereleased on it's tenth anniversary, which also concides with a major date in the game's plot. A Google Stadia version was due for release in late 2021, but mysteriously never released.
==Reception==
According to review aggregator website Metacritic, Madden NFL 20-II recieved "generally favorable" reviews from critics for the console versions. The PC version recieved mixed or average reviews due to a poor port.
Russ Frushtick of Polygon described Madden 20-II's Football II mode as "the most advanced baby football simulator the world has ever seen", and as being "composed entirely of fetch quests", but that it was "shockingly" fun "once it gets out of its own way". Frushtick argued that the game "felt like two games in one" and wasn't sure if the game should be judged as "just one product when it was clearly two, duct-taped together". 
Bradley Russell of GamesRadar+ praised the new mechanics of Football II as well as the plot, calling the game a "breath-taking return to form" for the series, and one of the "finest" in years.
In a scathing review, Shacknews gave the game a 2/10, calling it "somehow a worse successor to the worst major sports league video game out there," criticizing EA for again only making marginal improvements to previous installments. The review ends on a biting note, asking "what, you didn't think we'd notice how lazy you were when you reuse last year's cover and slap a 2 on it? You must think we're all babies playing Football II."
