    This needs to stop, in no way should this game be $60.00 it is the same game with different menues... with an added arcade mode. Why? Ea executives should be ashamed but they dont care...

    Terrible game filled with glitches and lack of improvement. Copy and paste game with a new number at the end. Bring 2k football back.

    Played the demo, it's the same game as 16'17'18'19'20. It's a disgrace we need a new alternative.

    Copy and pasted game from madden 20 with the bare minimum roster updates. Same glitches, same gameplay, same MUT BS, with new menu screens and new bad music. Face of the franchise is incomplete at launch and severely glitched, and normal franchise mode has received 0 updates. Real disappointment.

    Same 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

    It 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.

What was once the crown jewel of sports gaming and a driver of video game technology advancement is now a micro transaction driven "update" which would be better suited as a $5 purchase in your app store. There has been zero effort to advance core gameplay since '19 and in some areas they did not even bother updating the "Madden 20" signage. Now containing less depth or emersion and more bugs than ever it is clear the entire goal of EA is to leverage their monopoly and force loyal gamers into new micro transaction driven game modes . If you are here for Franchise, realistic simulation, or any attempt at a quality game, turn around. Update your 20 roster from the community board and you now have Madden 21 WITH LESS BUGS. EA should be ashamed. We as consumers should be embarrassed for letting this go on for so long.

    EA 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.

    Copy 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

    Face 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unbelievably awful. The Face of the Franchise game mode which was worked on, “All year.” Completely ignoring franchise mode, is awful, full of glitches, and is neither quality nor quantity. Franchise is more or less the same, core gameplay still awful, almost no modifications. Any and all modifications have gone into modes that EA can monetize. Not worth 60 bucks, more like 15-20.… Expand

    Possibly the worst put together game I have ever played. It is constantly bugging out and the gameplay has numerous wild things happening that don’t make sense. There is nothing new added to franchise mode which is my favorite game mode. You would think a multi billion dollar company would make a game that would keep their fans happy. Instead they pushed out the same game just with morePossibly the worst put together game I have ever played.

    This 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.

Otherwise you mine as well just make an arcade based football game like you have been for years and drop the exclusive license with the NFL. This game is trash your fans hate it all you’re doing is selling an updated roster with more random bs that nobody cares about each and every year this is a trash game and you’re just listening to the little kids who play it for MUT.… Expand

    If 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.

    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.
