    Terrible terrible terrible!! In every sense of the word. Even when EA wants to put perfume on its same old s—-, it still ends up smelling like crap. #NFLDropEA

    Literally a copy and paste but they went out of there way to ruin the ability to user on defense. But they added the yard so there’s that.

    Complete crap coming from the company that doesn't care. As long as ea is in charge of madden it will always be awful. If 20 was bad then this is so bad I find it hard to believe that its actually a game not a demo. They also turned online only cept for franchise and ea tries it hardest to forget about that. At least last years was playable offline. But just wow, BOYCOTT all ea productsComplete crap coming from the company that doesn't care. As long as ea is in charge of madden it will always be awful.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 2020.... what a hellava year, everyone is stress the hell out. Everyone needs to chill, do something they like to do and take your mind off the daily stresses. For me I was looking for to madden 21 to help me with that. Just a little and I found myself so mad I broke my game disc in half. I have never seen so many glitches in a video game in my life. Especially a game I have been playing since 94. I signed up for reviewing website to express myself because it’s the next step to forgive and forget. EA **** your company. I am retiring from your products. Alll your games suck and I hope u mofos get fired… Expand

    EA just needs to stop. If they don’t wanna give respect to the NFL brand, they should give up exclusivity. It’s embarrassing and annoying as a madden fan to have to deal with this level of incompetence every year. It’s not like it only happened once, but for the whole console generation? The amount of bugs, glitches, and just downright laziness this game presents itself with is ridiculous.

    Just trash
    Game play no different than Madden 16. NFL is insulting their fans by allowing this sorry excuse for a company continue to be the only one allowed to make a football game. At least do it like the rest of things in America in our dualistic trip we're on. Democrats and Republicans

    Fix Madden Franchise.
    1 week after the release of the game and EA is already talking about how Madden 22 will be the game where they address this issue. The creators have been focusing too much on things like face of the franchise, madden ultimate team, and the yard instead of what most users care about... simulation franchise.

    This game is a complete mess of bugs and reused graphics from old NFL games that are just plain embarrassing. There was no quality control, which is a shame on EA Sports. And even if it was controlled, it would be even more shameful. Bad work EA.

    Game is glitchy and has too many unrealistic animations! Kick meter is intermittent and hesitant which makes kicking almost totally avoided. Dbs can intercept ANY pass in their vicinity. Qb release is slow or inaccurate with the pass. And a big nemesis for years: dropped passes! I could continue but a monopolistic company like EA just doesn't care! The product reeks of the apathyGame is glitchy and has too many unrealistic animations! Kick meter is intermittent and hesitant which makes kicking almost totally avoided.

    Same game as the last 5, they just copy and paste every single year and charge 60 bucks. The game is just a money grab by EA and the only way to even play ultimate team is if you spend 100s if dollars monthly. Madden has fallen off so bad and it’s clear that EA doesn’t care

    Terrible game. It is madden 20 with a new paint job. Same goal of purely trying to monetize everything in the game. Same lack of focus on any actual improvement. The yard is a cool new feature but, again, it is simply another way for ea to get monetization. Save your money it is not worth it. From the unexplainable drops in frame rate to the stupid glitches, it is a steamy pile of trash.Terrible game. It is madden 20 with a new paint job.

    Copy paste nonsense. Stop supporting this garage. You too, NBA 2K and Call of Duty players who buy reskinned games every year. Take a year off and I promise you, it will get miles better.

    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.
