Madden 21 The Yard House Rules: What Rules are Set?

Madden 21 The Yard House Rules are special settings in the game's new backyard, street-style mode.

The Yard, on announcement, got fans excited as EA Sports was bringing football back to the streets. The game mode drew similarities from FIFA fans when FIFA 20 received Volta which was a new take on the FIFA Street titles.

The Yard features special rules designed to make the mode more arcade-like and casual to play. There are competitive features built-in and a rewards system, but it's not quite the same as the old school Street games.

Madden 21 The Yard House Rules: What Rules are Set?

The special rules are dubbed House Rules. As mentioned, House Rules are designed to make The Yard feel different from other modes like Ultimate Team and Franchise. Each area has their own House Rules as well

House Rules include things like a pass and rush timer, the ability to snap the ball to anyone on the offense, being able to pass the ball behind the line of scrimmage and even bonus points for each early pass.

If a player laterals the ball twice behind the line and then hits a wide receiver for a touchdown, the score is worth eight points. To make matters even more interesting on scoring drives, players can choose between a one, two, and three-point conversion where more points are awarded based on the starting yard line.
