It was dreadful, every single group I played against who won the opening kickoff just marched downfield and scored on their first Madden nfl 21 coins drive, time and time again.
Mediocre QBs were hitting recipients, and no matter my pass rush or blitz plot, the opposing quarterback rarely got sacked. And their third-down conversion prices were absurd. The defense in Madden is worse compared to the Madden 21 coins fielding in MLB: The Display 20, and that is pretty bad.
