Sep 1, 2020The NFL need to step in and do something, similar to what Disney did with Star Wars Battlefront 2. EA need to do better, football fans deserve better.

Sep 1, 2020This game sucks. Do not buy. Tired of EA putting out a piss poor product to us football fans. Give us a real simulation football game.

Sep 1, 2020just terrible, no real improvement ang game breaking glitches for a game where there's not much to change year to year, completely unacceptable
-
Sep 1, 2020
-
Sep 1, 2020Same game, different year. Never adds anything interesting. Overall bad experince
-
Sep 1, 2020This is not cared for at all by ea they still have not fixed bugs an glitches that were in madden 2018. I've played the game about 20 times an the game has glitched out to where I've had to restart multiple times. There not worried about fixing issues at all there only concern is making this game for a cash grab.
-
Sep 1, 2020This game is another year of fraud after last year's "no content for the last 4 months" fraud of Madden 20. Game play is atrocious.
-
Sep 1, 2020
-
Sep 1, 2020Same game since EA started making it, haven't bothered to even attempt to change offline, and MUT is still 100000% pay to win. Please help 2k.
-
Sep 1, 2020Copy and pasted game with less and mess features every year. There is no effort being made to create a better game from year to year. NFL drop EA.
-

Sep 1, 2020Gameplay is slightly different. But the game has a whole has zero depth. The yard is interesting but kinda trash. Franchise is franchise( that’s bad). MUT is a mode I refuse to touch.

Sep 1, 2020This game is just bad smh
-
Sep 1, 2020
-
Sep 1, 2020Doesn't represent simulation football at all. Franchise mode has less features than it did 15 years ago. This game is a vessel to push microtransactions. Clint Odenburg is a clown.
-
Sep 1, 2020bro this game sucks EA do better. Sold my copy on kijiji and the guy msged me and said this game sucks lmao no cap
-
Sep 1, 2020Monopolies create stagnation i just need a football game I can play this is ridiculous EA

Sep 1, 2020An embarrassment that only shows the flaws of the modern video game industry. A billion dollar company that puts out a poor product. Filled with Bugs and not including dozens of features that have been in previous iterations of this franchise!!
-
Sep 1, 2020
-
Sep 1, 2020Dear god this game is garbage even calling it a game or passion project is an insult to actually competent developers such as Sand Diego studios and 2k
-
Sep 1, 2020Nothing but a money grab. This so called game is built intended for micro transactions. Monetized garbage of a game. If this is the only option for a football simulation experience, i rather there be none all together. EA is pathetic and greedy. They have the respect of no one. And i hope the day comes where companies like this go bankrupt.
-
Sep 1, 2020Do not buy, and if you were one of the many that received a code for a free copy do not indulge in ANY micro transactions.
-
Sep 1, 2020The game makers at EA needs to be fired! This game is so horrible & I wasted my $86 on the deluxe like a freakin dummy! Please give me my money back! I played one or two games like last year and just flat out quit playing! Fix this piece of crap!!!!!
-
Sep 1, 2020Do not waste your money on this garbage. It’s a more buggy version of the last 5 identical Maddens that were released. There is nothing new about this game. Franchise mode still has nothing new and is less realistic than it was 10 years ago. MUT is the same and the new Yard Mode is not nearly enough to save this game, or justify spending $60+ on the game. Another cheap money grab from EA.
-
Sep 1, 2020TERRIBLE. I’ve owned every madden since 2001 with Eddie George on the cover. The laziness shown by EA is unparalleled. Filled with awful bugs, endless micro transactions, a completely gutted franchise mode, and the worst career mode in the history of video games. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Sep 1, 2020Franchise mode is identical to last year. It's like they're not even trying anymore.
-
Sep 1, 2020
-
Sep 1, 2020Besides being Madden 20 2.0 this game is buggy beyond belief. Numerous times after a quarter in franchise mode the game froze and kept showing views of the stadium. The Madden team has simply given up. It's a shame because EA UFC made so many positive strides this year.
-
Sep 1, 2020Same game 20.. but just softer an Buggy that game was already really bad. Strong dislike Ea needs to get getter no competition they got lazy
-
Sep 1, 2020
-
Sep 1, 2020Same bugs as last year with plenty of new bugs such as paint lines not displaying. So I play on a solid green field. My players giving high fives to noone on cutscenes, random white squares displaying on field. The game is basically just a cash grab by EA at this point as there is no other option for gamers who want to play football.

Sep 1, 2020Madden used be a game I love to pick up during football season. I bought it every year religiously but my disappoint has hit new lows this year. I feel like I’ve wasted my money AGAIN. Absolutely 0 updates to franchise mode is unacceptable.
-
Sep 1, 2020Game is terrible basically copy and pasted last year. Made minimal game play adjustments and added nothing new and refreshing. The yard is cool but not as cool as it could be waste of my money I already want to break this game it is the same as last year with the same BS!
-
Sep 1, 2020Same old copy and paste gameplay from last year and the year before that. Players get stuck in animations and do not know how to interact with one another. This is completely unacceptable in 2020. Also franchise mode has gotten zero attention in years. Do better EA!
-
Sep 1, 2020Made an account on this stupid website so I could rate it a 0 dbhdjehsbdbdbshdbd
-
Sep 1, 2020Not much more than a roster change for the last 5 years or so, which wouldn’t be too bad if the game was decent, but every year the game functions worse. The game has been very bad for over 10 years now, hopefully the NFL wakes up and ends their exclusive contract one of these days.
-
Sep 1, 2020Same copy and paste game every year with visual updates. EA has no innovation. #NFLDropEA
-
Sep 1, 2020A NFL precisa cancelar o contrato com a EA em benefício da sua própria imagem!
-
Sep 1, 2020Just an awful game. It looks like EA didn’t even try to make a new game. The game is a pure cash grabbing machine and will never change unless the community does something.
-
Sep 1, 2020If you are considering spending $60 of your own money on this trash, please consider buying 60 McChickens instead. You'll still feel like garbage, but at least you'd get some substance.
-
Sep 1, 2020#NflDropEa
Ea has yet another trash game , when I got my game it didn’t even load I am so pissed -
Sep 1, 2020Laggy, buggy, copy of Madden 20, just with worse gameplay. Worst Madden ever!
-
Sep 1, 2020
-
Sep 1, 2020EA need to step up their game, this is becoming fraudulent now. Taking money from people for a game like this. No innovation. Shocking!!!!
-
Sep 1, 2020This game is exactly like the previous madden which was exactly like the one before that. The last time it was different was 2016-2017. And even then it had flaws. Franchise mode is a joke. The game revolves around MUT mode. Don’t buy this game.
-
Sep 1, 2020Recycled game once again! Player psychics were better a decade ago, almost a carbon copy from Madden 16. Franchise is the same, Myteam is the same, every player roster accessories is the same
-
Sep 1, 2020Madden 21 is just madden 20 but with blue. EA Sports are money greedy. All they care about is Ultimate Team.
-
Sep 1, 2020MAdeen sucks. I hate it. It is same very year. LOngshot was the best mode and it sucked anyway.
-
Sep 1, 2020
-
Sep 1, 2020STOP BUYING THE GAME!!!! DONT ACCEPT THIS GARBAGE ANYMORE! STOP LETTING THEM STEAL YOUR MONEY! #NFLdropEA
-
Sep 1, 2020tis is not a football simulation game each year the devs show they dont care about this game.
-
Sep 1, 2020This game is straight up trash. They are not even trying to anymore and they haven't really since Madden10. This game franchise has not really been that good since they acquired the NFL license back in 2005. I will not buy another football game until Madden looses that exclusive deal with the NFL. I would buy Madden 18-20. It's the same game for a much lower price.

Sep 1, 2020Literally the same game as 20 repackaged and distributed to collect another year of gross sales under “Madden 21”... yes EA did that.... they did and is shameful.
-
Sep 1, 2020This sh*t must stop... NFL, please, cancel the deal with ea. Can't play in this garbage anymore.

Sep 1, 2020NFL drop EA! This company could care less about their product! It has its community in a stranglehold, and too many people are sick of the lack of effort and disrespect. NFL PLEASE. Drop EA
-
Sep 1, 2020This game is pure trash. Do not waste $60 on it. You can not even tell it's a new game. All they care about is stealing your money for stupid packs.

Sep 1, 2020
-
Sep 1, 2020Terrible Game, EA do all wrong, i hope the last the licens! The Game are full of bugs
-
Sep 1, 2020A buggy mess that shamelessly asks for your money continuously. It has fewer features. The graphics are the same. The animations, items, environment, EVERYTHING is just RECYCLED. It is not acceptable.

Sep 1, 2020Take a stand against EA and their destructive, predatory and usurious practices.
-
Sep 1, 2020So bad it’s basically just ea spitting in your face. and taking your money. Don’t understand how this little of effort is put into a game.
-
Sep 1, 2020Its not that they keep copy pasting this game every year for the last 20 years because If it was actually good nobody would care. But they've been copy pasting this bad game over and over again.
-
Sep 1, 2020Copy and pasted Maden 20 = Madden 21. Oh yeah and they didn't fix any glitches. By far the worse Madden in the series, been playing for over 25 + years, and just uninstalled this. Half ass'd would be the best way to put it
-
Sep 1, 2020Face of the franchise is a joke with little to no actual influence on your story. Franchise mode is 100% copy and paste from Madden 20. Zero additions or improvements to the game mode that put Madden on the map 15+ years ago.
-
Sep 1, 2020EA has managed to ruin every sports game they’ve gotten their grubby little fingers on. If you work at EA, please be a part of the solution and commit suicide.
-
Sep 1, 2020Just the same old thing. Just a $60 roster update. So many bugs. It’s like they didn’t even try.
-
Sep 1, 2020ea man EA...

Sep 1, 2020Too many glitches, not enough updates to Franchise Mode. I’ve bought every Madden since 04’ and I’m seriously reconsidering ever buying another Madden again. Waste of money.
-
Sep 1, 2020Somehow they had madden 21, but also somehow made it **** I don't know how in gods green earth they managed to do that, but they did.
-
Sep 1, 2020
-
Sep 1, 2020Horrendous what EA is doing. Simply repackaging the same game and STILL not updating Franchise mode. 2 years in a row I refuse to purchase.
-
Sep 1, 2020Terrible, same thing as last year, #fixmaddenfranchise, Face of The Franchise and They Yard are decent but not worth 60 dollars
-
Sep 1, 2020Terrible game. Worst Madden so far. Y'all don't even try no more. Selling the same game every year
-
Sep 1, 2020This game is actually terrible. I never even write reviews for videogames but damn EA this is a smack in the face. This is literally madden 20.1 and you guys don't even try to hide it. #NFLdropEA EA your company needs to do better.
-
Sep 1, 2020
-
Sep 1, 2020Literally trash. I made an account just so I can downvote this game. Shame that EA is allowed to do this to customers.
-
Sep 1, 2020The Yard is fun but bugs out quite a bit. Franchise is the same as it’s been the last 5 years. Face of The Franchise is THE WORST. Absolutely boring and stale and is like to see it go away all together. I refuse to play MUT because all they care about is micro transactions. The yard is their biggest success this year.
-
Sep 1, 2020EA has time and time again proven they don't care and refuse to even do the bare minimum when it comes to making new games, they make the same thing every year, practically being a $60 annual subscription fee yet its still worse than the classic madden games by miles, see madden 05, 08, etc.
-
Sep 1, 2020
-
Sep 1, 2020this game is so bad, full if bugs, the game just gets worse and worse comparing to other maddens #NFLdropEA
-
Sep 1, 2020Screw EA. They’re the cancer of the gaming industry. If you still buy this game you’re a mindless sheep. Demand better for your sport games!

Sep 1, 2020It is every Football fans civic duty to review this game, institute change and vote with your wallet. We have been get the same rehashed game for almost a decade now. If you had told me by 2020 that this would be the product people are paying $60 for, you would've blown my mind. The NFL needs to drop EA. Plain and simple. Disgusting.

Sep 1, 2020Horrid game. Too pricey. EA out bad. Big unlucky. Micro transactions are trash. EA is trash. Gg well played
-
Sep 1, 2020Same thing since 2013, Ea fix the game instead of giving out codes. Madden 2004 and NFL 2k5 are better than your game with so many more features and game modes. #NFLdropEa

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.
