Apr 10, 2023I got this one because I hadn’t had a madden game in a while and this one was decent. I finally played the Myteam game mode and although it was good. They almost instantly cut this game off online once the new one came out which really sucked. Had a fun time with it and still do just wish it didn’t end so soon.

Jan 19, 2022Absolute garbage. There's not much I can say about this pathetic excuse for a game that hasn't already been said, obviously EA doesn't care about it's customers in the slightest, as they have done NOTHING to improve this series over the years. Just the same thing every year, gradually getting worse and worse. But hey, at least they're getting our money, right?

Nov 11, 2021my atari 2600 has better graphics and better gameplay and better presentation than madden nfl 20.

Sep 13, 202119 years later, Madden 05 for PS2, is still better than this dumpster fire, that is nothing more than a money grab

Feb 8, 2021It's decent, but I've played madden 03 and there were a lot more features, like create a team.

Nov 30, 2020I would like to say, that i am new at this franchise. I'm watching the NFL since years but it is my first virtual snap with this game. I really enjoy the gameplay. The "story" is ok but not the best. I like "The Journey" form Fifa more. Overall the game is pretty solid.

Nov 14, 2020my favourite madden game better than madden 08 and tom clancys rainbow six vegas for the xbox 360

Sep 9, 2020Tremendous game. Every game feels like a script is set and you have little to no control over the actual game.
-
Sep 8, 2020Unbelievable. Not only is this re-hashed garbage, but the racist Colin K has stats higher than half of all quarterbacks? I will no longer support ANY company pushing their BLM Marxism on me.
-
Sep 8, 2020Tell me ONE thing that makes this game worth 60 bucks instead of zero. I've seen mobile games better than this.
-
Sep 8, 2020This game hasn't changed for the better in a years, even in terms of graphics. The game is glitchy and the most fun you will have is trying to figure out a clever way to return it after playing it for a few hours. It's an expensive downgrade from last year that they make you pay for. They are constantly trying to make you pay more money while in game and for nothing at all.

Sep 5, 2020This is the fit year I decided to pass on buying this game. Madden lost me over the years with microtransactions and eliminating my ability to pick my own team and play online without some BS card system cash grab. EA is honestly a horrible company and we'd all be better off if they stopped making games.
-
Sep 4, 2020Look EA, I just wanted to throw a fade route, and all I wanted to do was play a SIMULATION FOOTBALL GAME FOR CHRISTS SAKE BUT NOW I CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE THIS GAME IS GARBAGE AND DOESN'T DESERVE YOUR MONEY DON'T BUY IT
-
Sep 4, 2020When will people stop buying buggy rushed games from EA? I have boycotting EA since Battlefield 3. Join me and they will start making good games again.

Sep 1, 2020Don't get me wrong, Madden 20 sucks too, but at least they added a lot more features. Madden 20 will be the last madden I buy.

Aug 30, 2020Madden 20 is bad. Please don't buy this. It has added nothing to the game, and only serves as another bland addition to the series. Again, don't buy this. Thank you.
-
Aug 30, 2020They should let 2k football come back... Madden has reached a new low with 350 pound lineman out running Rbs and Wrs
-
Aug 29, 2020Same tired mechanics, animations, and body sculpts. I mean for God's sake Offensive Lineman have the same arms as wide outs.
Franchise mode is still neglected, in favor of new ways to take your money in the worst game mode ever created in UT. This is literally the same Madden as Madden 13 on PS3. Nearly looks the same too.
One positive thing is the new X-Fa tors

Aug 28, 2020Trash game, buggy and all. Shuga dubba. Its very pain full see this game on 900p sometimes. And its MTX system is sht.

Aug 27, 2020Game is riddled with bugs and glitches. Offensive and defensive lines don't interact like they do in the real sport. Zone coverage is broken. No franchise updates. Face of the franchise is completely scripted your choices and outcomes don't matter.
-
Aug 27, 2020Same old madden. Trying to pass a roster update as a new game. Shamelessly only focusing on “improving” the elements of the games associated Witt micro transactions
-
Aug 26, 2020Full of glitches and no depth in franchise mode this game is so boring
-

Aug 25, 2020Fix your bleeping game, quit making excuses and fix it! Franchise better, get rid of micros. Bring back superstar. Waste of money y’all waste of time
-
Aug 24, 2020#FixMaddenFranchise
The game is all about microtransactions. The franchise mode has no microtransactions so the developers don't care about the mode that built the brand. Sad. -

Aug 21, 2020Buggy gameplay, same glitch's since madden 25. Still lacks content compared to ps2 predecessor.
-
Aug 20, 2020It horrible throwing mechanics there just so bad I can’t stand it. Makes me sick
-
Aug 17, 2020this game is the biggest **** that I ve ever played. this game is so dumb, nothing makes sense, broked blitzes, dumbest IA in the gaming world by far. I can write a bible of how bad this game is
-
Aug 15, 2020Wow udder trash. Animations are outdated. You get sucked into tacklers. Lack of fluid anything honestly. Menus have changed thats about it.
-
Aug 14, 2020This game has absolutely nothing new, other than the new X-Factors. Completely neglected franchise, and only built upon MUT as that is their cash cow.
-

Aug 13, 2020the game is trash. but what is worse than that is microtransactions. they manipulate young kids to waste a lot of money and gamble. the same game every year with less content and more cost. this is not how a video game should be
-
Aug 9, 2020This game's franchise mode is absolutely unacceptable for a multi million dollar company

Terrible franchise anymore, sorry to see this once great franchise end up like this. -

Jul 16, 2020I still shamelessly buy madden every year, my favourite game mode is franchise mode...
Franchise mode is so plain these days it’s just not been changed for a long time. Please EA give us a deep franchise mode! Also like can we please change the throwing mechanics? Why can’t I throw a goal line fade to Julio Jones? -

Jul 8, 2020Unacceptably slow load times
Bugged beyond believe
Relies more on flashy visuals than gameplay (guess that's very accurate for real football)
EA developers are the equivalent of the kid eating paste in the back of class -

Jul 6, 2020I feel like I was robbed for $60. I will never buy another year of this garbage. 2k needs to be allowed to make a superior version
-
Jul 3, 2020This game was a joke. I've played madden nearly my whole life and it has seriously gone downhill with its gameplay and simulation. May as well just be an arcade game at this point.
-
Jul 2, 2020It’s cheeks. We all know it is, but hey, at least we got snoop doggy g who we’ve been eagerly awaiting.
-
Jun 24, 2020Complete trash. Came back to the franchise after 14 years off and it’s gotten worse. Bring back ESPN 2K series. What a shame that a game that’s 15 years older has better physics than the sorry excuse of a simulation football game madden 20 is.

Jun 17, 2020One of the worst of the Madden franchise installments by far, looking back on the games that went before it, how many of the features the community has been asking for have been implemented? Don't invest your money into a company that treats it's consumer base like cattle and until future Madden on PS5 prove they're listening to us, don't give in to the hype.
-
Jun 17, 2020Hadn't played madden in a few years and decided to give it a try because of a few positive reviews.
What I found were Bugs, canned animations, and a franchise mode that is still behind the previous generations of consoles. Madden is broken and EA has no intention of fixing it. Save your money and buy madden 12 or one of the 2k games instead. -

May 31, 2020All this game cares about is selling MUT packs. It is a sad break from a game that had such a long tradition of success pre Madden 13. Shame

May 19, 2020I really enjoy the game but, the jump of difficulty from all-pro to all madden is ridiculous. All pro doesn’t even provide a challenge where as when I play on madden it is challenging but the main problem I have is fumbling, I will be running with an xfactor running back (also turned fumbling off because it pissed me off so much) and they will still strip me it is ridiculous

May 17, 2020I really don't think they extensively test this game anymore. Abilities have made the gameplay so imbalanced and this game has become so animation based its more about knowing how to trigger the right animations rather than making any sort of actual football read.
-

-
May 10, 2020Online play is full of the same formations and plays on both off and def. Not very creative or fun. Safeties stand like they don’t know what they’re doing and be prepared for your receivers to drop the ball 70% of the time.

Apr 27, 2020Don't leave a nasty review when you go to EA help, they lock you out of your account almost immediately. This game is a complete was of money and I strongly encourage no one to ever by any game made by EA again, one bust after another and all they care about is making money.

Playstation Official Magazine UKAug 27, 2019The unveiling of Superstar X-Factors had long-term fans of the series cowering, but happily they inject welcome freshness into a stalwart that had grown a tad stale. [Issue#166, p.86]
-
Aug 16, 2019Madden NFL 20 is still one of the best videogames if you want to simulate any sport but it's very clear that it needs more: more graphics, more gameplay changes, more news in its modes... X-Factor is a good new, but still insufficient to sense that gameplay is different that last year's edition.
-
Aug 14, 2019Madden NFL 20 takes a step in the right direction and I really enjoyed the X-Factor additions to the series. While I still think some form of competition would force EA to make more drastic changes, I’m not optimistic with any developers taking a spin with the football genre (maybe the XFL?). If you haven’t caught the pigskin for a few seasons, Madden NFL 20 is the right route to run for this year. With the new consoles coming (most likely) next holiday, I’m looking forward to seeing what EA builds upon from Madden NFL 20 and brings over to next gen. For now I’ll enjoy taking the Broncos to the Super Bowl, while beating up the cover pretty boy, Mahomes (not bitter at all).
