Of all the crossovers we ever thought we might see in the world of Xbox, Madden NFL 21 and SpongeBob wasn't one of them. Nevertheless, that's exactly what's happened in the game's 6v6 backyard mode, The Yard.
The crossover brings all-new content to The Yard, such as new game modes and a new location, but many fans certainly haven't taken to it too kindly, venting their frustration with the bizarre addition on Twitter.
In general, fans aren't criticising the new game modes and location itself, but rather that EA is spending time bringing SpongeBob into the game rather than focusing on key areas and fan requests such as "fixing" Franchise Mode.

I dunno, I love it to be honest. Completely wrong priorities but it’s so ridiculous that it totally works.
Madden fans aren't happy, but I think this is incredible.
@Kefka2589 I like Madden and Spongebob. It’s a win win for me
@Luigi_Skywalker Now I just want to play Battle For Bikini Bottom again.
What’s with all the weird crossovers in games? Hot Wheels/Lego in Forza, wrestlers in Gears 5 and now this. Hate to say it but they were all fun so perhaps this will be
@WesEds In the sequel to Doom Eternal, Dwayne The Rock Johnson will surely team up with Doom Guy to battle the forces of Hell. I can see it now.
@WesEds It's called shameless plug. These companies throw money at developers and developers don't give a ***** as long as the money is coming in.
So glad I gave up on Madden long ago. I just play Mutant Football League for my football fix.
@Tasuki surely its the publishers and not the devs. I’m a developer, albeit in a different field, and I still have principles that I stick to. Sometimes the business makes decisions that developers have to act on, even though it’s against personal beliefs or personal ethics.
Having said that, this is EA. No, you’re right. I imagine the Madden team at EA comprises of people content to copy and paste code every year.
That Pawn Stars meme cracks me the f*ck up. 😆
Just need Sweet Victory in the game and justice is served.
@Kefka2589
Actually at the end of Doom (the movie), The Rock goes evil & then “Dredd” has to take him down. Lol.
Yes, it’s sad that I know this. It’s even sadder that I have watched that awful Doom film several times. 🤦♂️ 😂
As a Madden owner, this is ridiculous. Of course, I should expect this nonsense by now from EA Sports.
@KelticDevil Hah! It's coming back to me now that you say that. I saw it in theaters when I was in high school. I think the only scene I even vaguely rememberes was the novelty first person action scene. Which I just watched on YouTube and turns out is still pretty groovy!
not a fan of the game, but Spongebob needs to return to his pineapple under the sea. he just doesn't belong in the NFL. i might allow him in a game of pac-man, but only to be eaten. if he appears in Super Smash brothers than he might get killed and as funny as it might be, i don't think we want a dead sponge on the battle field.
