Sep 11, 2020This is not simulation football. Pure trash. Trash. Trash. Trash. Trash. Trash.

Sep 11, 2020just another $60 roster update. franchise mode is **** garbage - it's just madden 20 all over again. i'm sick of these micro transaction game modes. EA, why can't you just make a separate game altogether for MUT and give us an actual NFL sim game for the first time 16 years? I'm done with this game

Sep 11, 2020I was confused on how they were still able to make deadline while we were in Covid Quaratine. Now I see why. They didn’t even try.
-
Sep 11, 2020Worst game I've ever played. I play for 10 minutes and immediately want to kill myself. They need to fire everyone involved in making this ****
-
Sep 11, 2020Same exact game it has been every year with no more improvements and endless bugs. The icing on the cake is micro transactions which are clearly being phased out entirely and video games
-
Sep 11, 2020This game is just a very expensive update for Madden 20 with new glitches and no meaningful improvements.

Sep 11, 2020F EA for Nerfing User Defense. Competitive madden should not reward no skill players who use the D-lineman on defense. THEY HAVE RUINED COMPETITIVE MADDEN, people that actually have skill andc an read a defense are now PUNISHED, so they can cater to the casual dan., **** THIS GAME. im buying fifa instead.
-
Sep 11, 2020Same **** over and over again **** you EA. Such a **** company. I hope you ****s get shot in the spine and are vegetables for the rest of your lives
-
Sep 11, 2020awful, just awful. this game is somehow worse that the last 4 games they copy and pasted from. the same plays as last year still break the defense EVERY TIME.

Sep 12, 2020Had to make an account to how TRASH this game actually is. EA has given up on us for awhile now it’s time for them to officially kill the series. NFL 2K all day
-
Sep 12, 2020Absolute garbage I will never buy a Madden game again NFL needs to give the simulation rights to a different company
-
Sep 22, 2020Quality wise this game would be like a 3, but for what the game is, 0! EA has to give us a good game with a deep franchise, good gameplay, a good story mode, and no (or less) micro transactions.
-
Sep 12, 2020What a trash game, i dont even play EA games and im just hating on it because i can. What a **** ass game.

Sep 12, 2020trash game F trash man its f bad pls ea delte yourself and don't buy that **** ****
-
Sep 12, 2020This game is trash! Its just like the older ones except somehow they managed to make it worse!
-
Sep 12, 2020**** greatest pile of excrement EA has constructed to date. Don't even bother with the Face of the Franchise or whatever it is, 90% cutscenes, I'm trying to play football not answer pointless generic **** questions by A.I. only 3 positions you can choose from too, 2020, top notch EA. Franchise mode hasn't been updated since madden 25.
-
Sep 12, 2020O jogo é uma merda que vem de uma empresa mercenaria que coloca imagens com o simbolo do madden 20, o que é um total desrespeito com o consumidor e eles ainda nos chama de palhaços, tem mais que se fuder a EA
-
Sep 13, 2020
-
Sep 13, 2020Holy sh*t this game is even worse than the last one. It's a copy paste from madden 20 with one new game mode except with even more bugs and glitches. Its like they focused on one ok game mode and ignored the other ones. If they dont give this a decent update soon then the rating is going to be even worse. 0/10 dont waste your money .
-
Sep 13, 2020They completely broke connected franchise before the week 1 kickoff. It’s been down 4 days now. What a joke.
-
Sep 13, 2020EA ruin the video games because no changes or improvements made to the mode so there’s no reason for me to buy the game this year. I’ve officially retired from Madden. I tried to stick it out thru Madden 20 but realized after 2 seasons of CFM it wasn’t a good game. Learning from my mistakes early this year.
-
Sep 13, 2020Game absolutely sucks, nothing more else to say. Complete rehash of the past 10 years of Madden, no new elements, relies on cheap animations, created by developers who have no concept of the game of football, not worth your money at all. DO NOT BUY!
-
Sep 13, 2020How are they going to release the same game every year with more problems. Can’t even play the game and ea won’t refund. They have a lot of work to do for madden to be an enjoyable game. Terrible.
-
Sep 13, 2020Awful game. Doesn’t play very well, franchise hasn’t been upgraded at all and it tries to get you to buy something else at nearly every menu.
-
Sep 14, 2020Как же я жду момента, когда они введут налог по 10$ за час игры в недоделанном спортсиме

Sep 14, 2020the music playlis for this game is such an embarrassment to football players. Fire that person asap please its a joke
-
Sep 14, 2020The single worst sports games I’ve ever played. The fact that EA is legally allowed to do this year in and year out is appalling. Same graphics since Madden13, same **** gameplay since Madden11, full of exploits and glitches. **** EA
-

Sep 14, 2020This is the most disrespectful release ever. I want my money back. They literally didn’t change anything. The soundtrack literally has some of the same songs from madden 2020???
-
Sep 14, 2020Copy Paste trash. When will EA start caring about their games? All they want is money.

Sep 14, 2020This game is an embarrassment. It’s just animation based and no realism. Mut is the only thing they care about. I’m honestly not sure what they changed. Face of the Franchise is a joke. It is a poorly scripted story one possible outcome. A 99 QB can be released for a 75 QB who isn’t even on the team. DO NOT BUY

-
Sep 16, 2020This company should not be allowed to make video games at all, Electronics Arts are just a money greedy company that shows no effort to make a quality product for its customers and year after year give you the same game with no creativity just the same exact garbage excuse of a sports game.

Sep 17, 2020Worst game I’ve ever played. EA should refund everyone that has purchased this piece of crap.
-
Sep 17, 2020Ima get to the point, people are playing nfl 2k5 other than this game. That game came out in 2005. This game came out 2020 August. Game has too many glitches. The preview trailer shows so many cool things about the yard and fixes and amazing stuff. So i got the MVP version. $100 to EA for a game i havent played for 2 weeks
-
Sep 19, 2020Series has just gone downhill for the last 10 or so years.
its always the same game with very lazy cover ups and bad gameplay -
Sep 19, 2020Very very lazy game. It seems like EA has lost interest in making sports games now and they still have balls to charge you this game 60$ when you can buy older versions which are way better than this one for 10$. Hope they get bankrupt.

Dec 14, 2020Played the free kickoff version. THIS IS NOT SIMULATION FOOTBALL. if this is the game they want to make fine, but release the exclusive rights to an NFL simulation game so those of us who want to play a realistic, deep, engaging football simulation can.
-
Sep 22, 2020DO NOT BUY. Extremely buggy, full of loot boxes, my aunt bought the game for me, I hate her guts!

Sep 23, 2020EA has somehow found a way to make wide open dropped passes happen more frequently
-
Sep 23, 2020Honestly just broken. Not worth even $20. Not realistic, so many glitches. Just horrible.

Sep 25, 2020Wait until it’s free next year this game is pure garbage like it’s atrocious really. Seriously save your money and time.
-
Sep 25, 2020Rushed bs game. EA milking everyone each year. Consistently dropping passes wide open, bugs and glitches all over it. Franchise mode hasn’t changed in years. Don’t buy itz
-
Sep 25, 2020It's not that the game it self is bad it's that EA sports is very lazy they are pretty much charging you $60 every year for the same game
-

-
Sep 26, 2020For me, the lack of an adequate defensive perspective in franchise mode makes this game unplayable. Not everyone wants to be the QB!

Sep 29, 2020The same issues they had in madden 20. I cant beleive they are charging people 60$ for this reskin of the same game last year. So disappointed. Please dont buy.
-
Sep 29, 2020Terrible game. Unrealistic game play. Glitchy/ delayed output. Crashes mid games doesn't save progress. They have money to develop the game and choose not to because they're the only developer with right to NFL players. They drop the ball every year. Go play 2k or anything else.
-
Sep 30, 2020Been buying for years and game has only gotten worse each year. It’s unplayable in its current state and almost identical to last 4 versions. You can buy an old madden for a few bucks for the same experience.
-
Sep 30, 2020I have been a long time Madden and never have I played a version that is this buggy and glitchy. The game is borderline unplayable. Game altering glitches occur at the worst times and cost you games. Most recently I experienced the QB auto throwing a lob pass immediately after snapping the ball which resulted in an interception.

Oct 1, 2020This games lacks realism in the worst form. Glitchy animations, invalid game situations, and a strive to play. I cannot fathom how horrible this game is and the NFL should drop EA. #NFLdropEA
-
Oct 2, 2020Tough to polish a turd. Its been just a roster update for years now. No innovation, no creativity, and no vision. That's what happens when you have no incentive to create compelling software and rely on microtransactions to supplement your stale product.

Oct 4, 2020I only purchased madden for next gen. After this year I’m not buying anymore. I actually went back to start a franchise mode on 2K5!!! That’s how much I love franchise mode. Madden lost a customer with me. Never will I buy a modern day football game until EA loses its contract
-
Oct 4, 2020Worst Game Ever. Buggy, Woke and Broken. EA will either learn from this or they will GO Broke.
-
Oct 6, 2020Straight up the worst game I’ve played. You’re basically spending 60 dollars to just get pissed off.

Oct 8, 2020Madden NFL 21 is another blatant recycling of last year’s edition of the „simulation“ of the American football. Sadly, most of the modes remained the same. Gameplay received a few minor tweaks, and in the end it still persists as a cash grab not worth anybody’s time.
-
Sep 14, 2020Madden NFL says goodbye to a generation with more questions than answers and with an uncertain perspective on what may happen in the years to come.

Sep 9, 2020For NFL diehards, there remains hundreds of gaming hours at your disposal in Madden 21. These same diehards – much like players of EA’s NHL and Sony’s The Show – will be left with the impression they’ve played this game before, however.
