For decades now, NFL players have been sporting RFID chips in their own jerseys to capture information about their functionality, and now this has been shared with EA. The developer is using this data to make the in-game personality models and their associated animations look more life-like.

"Next Gen Player Movement comes to life on both sides of the ball, with elite route runners running their actual paths logged by Next Gen Stats and showcasing volatile first measures and direction changes, while elite defenders will respond more realistically to opposing routes and runs."

The idea is that, with these more granular numbers, players can make much better decisions in the future of play-calling. And speaking of play-calling, there's a new play-calling menu in Madden 21 which seems to buy Mut 21 coins prioritize star plays and allows you easily involve them in key plays.
