Whilst waiting, a leaked trailer has indicated what we can expect and if it's legitimate it will indicate EA Sports commitment to building a strong running meta in Madden.
Madden 21 - All-out control
The headline gameplay element on the trailer is the 'all-out control - ball carrier stick skill'. With Lamar Jackson the cover star, it's not surprising to see a development of the ball carrier systems. The superstar QB has been as deadly with his feet as with his arm.

The leak also mentions 'clutch stops - realistic open-field tackling', which will be needed to ensure that there is sufficient ability on defense to stop the high powered offensive players.
Either way, having players with high ball carrier, juke, agility and spin move stats looks like the way forward for Madden 21.
