    Well although it seems like I could say this game is an improvement from the last one. I just simply do not know how to rate it when taking into consideration that this game franchise is far behind other sports games. What is worse is that they don’t seem to care. The game pretty much abandoned its Connected Franchise Mode and basically copies and pastes the mode from previous years. TheWell although it seems like I could say this game is an improvement from the last one. I just simply do not know how to rate it when taking into consideration that this game franchise is far behind other sports games. What is worse is that they don’t seem to care. The game pretty much abandoned its Connected Franchise Mode and basically copies and pastes the mode from previous years. The mode is missing a real Off-Season, Free Agent Periods where you can pursuit teams (maybe incorporating a player Agent), and many more things. On top of that the games released with many typos or errors when it came to Logos and player pictures, which just looked unprofessional. Now we get to the hard stuff, we’re still sold a game with terrible animations, and game mechanics. The tackling pursuit angles are just not there, the ball in the air pursuit is barely decent, the blocking assignments are not well executed, and the tackling is a bit iffy but not a huge concern because it at least looks pretty accurate. But honestly the hard things to incorporate are not even what disappoints me the most. It’s all the easy stuff they can incorporate that upsets me and leads this community to believe that they’re not being heard.… Expand

    Borderline fraudulent advertising by EA Sports. Big selling points in their trailer either aren't in the game or are broken features. Same unfixed bugs and glitches since madden 19. Had friends who didn't receive their pre-order bonus content that they paid $100 for and then were told by EA Help that they were SOL. Doesn't come anywhere close to replicating simulation football.

    The last 10 years nothing has happened to this game. If EA only wants to roster update every year, then release a Madden with no year attached and add a roster update once a year. They don't care, and I'm tired of it.

I’m not going to waste 60 dollars just to play madden 20.5. you can like it if your like but it just question your spending tactics, your mental health, and your decision making on such a useless game. madden 04 - 08 (even madden 10 - 12) literally has everything you can ask for a madden game except a “ ultimate team “ so we can just waste our money again and good graphics which sometimes isn’t all that bad if you grew up on it. I strong dislike what madden has done for the community and will gladly stop spend waste less paper on a terrible game and use it for something useful. I was blinded buy maddens (16, 17, 18, and 20) which I didn’t realize was such a bad game once I played madden 20. when I saw the madden 21 trailer and some gameplay that just hammered the nail in the coffin for me.

    A disgrace to John Maddens name. Games from over a decade ago have stabler game-play and a more impressive list of features. Micro-transactions have ruined the franchise

    EA dropped the ball on this one, a poor excuse for a sports game. Bugs and glitches everywhere you look, microtransactions shoved in your face, and mediocre gameplay round out this years new features.

    Absolutly Unplayable. Franchise mode has still not been touched, Face of the Franchise has one of the most poorly writen plot I have ever seen, MUT is just a cash cow, the yard is a band-aid over a broken bone, Gliches all over the place make the game hard to even attempt to play. The only reason people buy this piece of junk is because its the only football game out there. Somehow theAbsolutly Unplayable.

    Same game as last year but way more glitches gameplay is dumb down for crappy madden players, only thing they add is new card art for madden mut. Game is full of micro transactions. This game is no longer football simulation it's a virtual kid gambling card game.

    Games is filled with glitches, many of which are from the previous games as well. Madden and most other sports games don’t care at all for the quality of their game, it’s all about ULTIMATE TEAM and getting those new PACKS out for people to BUY. That’s sports games in a nutshell.

    EA doesn’t know how to make new games anymore. There was a time that he did a lot of good stuff , but now is just the same game over and over again. It’s amazing how people still buying the same game every year and not even noticing it.

    Madden 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.

    Madden 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.

    For 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.
