    Complete trash, the world would be a better place if everyone took a stand and stopped buying these games. Don't feed the beast and give in because it's the only thing on the shelves; just suck it up and play the older ones for a year when the latest edition comes out and force EA to change their ways.

    Just think copy and paste from previous years with no new innovation and you have EA Madden in a nutshell. The golden era of madden games was 2004-2008.

    They remove certain elements from the game in a given year, only to add them back in a later year and call them "new features". This game is a microtransaction trash fest and I will never again purchase a Madden game until they finally

This game is a microtransaction trash fest and I will never again purchase a Madden game until they finally innovate and deliver a solid game with improvements to Franchise and MyPlayer modes. Alas, I doubt this will ever happen until enough people stop buying future installments.

    There charging AAA prices for a crap game. Madden died 15 years ago. The mindless idiots that keep voting with there wallets on buying junk like this game just keep promoting lazy,incompetent, trash developers to keep making games like this.

    Madden is an absolutely atrocious game top to bottom. Franchise is worse than ever. And there is almost no depth that makes it worth playing. 0/10.

    Unpopular opinion: I liked Longshot. But that's it. Franchise mode was still the same, and the game had the least features of probably any sports game. Only Play Now, Franchise, Longshot, and stupid Ultimate Team.

    This has to be the worst madden ever. The gameplay is just absurdly awful. The only game mode I enjoyed was longshot and even sometimes I had to mute my tv because It was so cringe. I'd much rather play madden 20 or 21 and those are terrible games. At this point just take away all game modes and leave ultimate team there. DONT BUY IT.

    Madden 19 was and is the WORST Madden Game ever made. Madden 19 showed nothing new at all even though it was a commercial success, I still say that Madden 13 was the worst game of the Franchise because it was the title that killed the series and set up the terrible foundation for future titles but one thing that Madden 13 is obviously better than Madden 19 is gameplay because Madden 19Madden 19 was and is the WORST Madden Game ever made.

    Madden 19's Franchise Mode was completely shallow and made Madden 08 feel superior to Madden 19. There was barely anything to do in the game, there wasn't a Superstar or Career Mode just a sequel to Longshot from Madden 18 with barely any gameplay, there was also no Mini-Camp, Tournament Mode, Fantasy Football Mode (Ultimate Team w/no micro-transactions), and a lot more game modes... This game had nothing else to do than opening MUT packs. The game is missing over 80+ features, the gameplay is completely ruled by animations, & so many BUGS AND GLITCHES!!!

    Sports games today except Rocket League are incredibly underwhelming and EA Sports Games are the worst sports games today. Just go play other sports games like Madden 2004-08, NCAA Football, NFL/NBA/FIFA Street, NFL 2K, All-Pro Football 2K8, NBA 2K except 2K18, Backbreaker, older MLB the Show titles, Fight Night, and many more titles. Play those sports games or play other games instead of playing this buggy/glitchy cash-grabbing filth of a game.

    This game is horrible. Ya it has a new Home Screen but it the gameplay is horrible the real player motion is a lie it’s so animation based and buggy and glitchy. Longshot is half or more just cutscenes and not a lot of gameplay and interactions. Franchise is barely changed and is worse in some aspects the screens are pretty much the same since madden 16 but the Home Screen has cut showsThis game is horrible.

    Madden 19 does not redefine the series but it's a great game nevertheless.

    Madden NFL 19 is a sublime example of what can be achieved with a sports title. The Real Player Motions generates that feeling of not 'controlling' players, but rather living as the players instead. Seeing how lifelike all the players are within a match, and how they communicate with each other before and during plays, and then watching them seamlessly get into the next play, is freakishly uncanny.

    Madden 19 is much like Madden 18 before it.
