Some of the uniforms say 2019 and some of the Jumbotron screens throughout the stadium have 2018. It’s a joke. EA just wants you to play ultimate team and spend money. They don’t care about you. They don’t care about anything other than getting money. It’s the soul reason why there isn’t competition. They have a monopoly. It’s time to end this. #NFLdropEA… Expand

    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

    This is yet another example of how disgusting this company can be and how little they respect the fan base. Once again this game is nothing more than a very small and very unfinished update over last years game. DO NOT BUY THIS.

    The same year after year after year. This game should be free, it's just a roster patch. They don't do fine even the technical things, it has a lot of bugs that doesn't even are gameplay related.

    Reusing assets, animations are awful, and no really new innovation. If your a wallet warrior who loves pay to win, and likes blasting through 60 dollars for the same game as last year this title is for you.

    I believe the last Madden I purchased was in 2017; I came from NCAA Football, but we all know what happened to that Franchise. I never liked Madden as I felt much of it was a rip off of NCAA Football (you know the copy and paste developing that's synonymous with Madden) and even continued playing NCAA 14 well after.

    Bad. Unplayable. Boring, stale, and uncreative. Would rather watch a puddle dry than play this game again. EA, put some effort into it. NFL, let another developer make an NFL simulation game so there's proper competition.

    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.
