    Absolute garbage. The "added features" are minor. There are several glitches and the entire game is a $60 roster update.

    Same as Madden 20, Madden 19, Madden 18,...
    Save your money and don't support this anti-consumer behaviour of EA.

    An online casino, which is a broken, buggy mess of an asset flip, where if you dare to point out flaws the devs call you a clown

    As each game comes out, the game gets a bit more crap. 21 shows both 2020 and 2019 signage for Christs sake. Screw paying full price for a player line up update.
    I'm doing my part.

    This hot garbage trash should have never been released. Does anyone remember good old EA days? Yeah its never gonna happen again.

    Can anyone tell EA that trash belongs to trash can?

    This game is atrocious. Same game as Madden 20, which was a bad game. Franchise mode has been the same for years. All they added was pass rush moves and the yard. This game should be a 6 max. I’m giving it a 0 because EA has ran out of excuses in my eyes. Do not buy!!!!

    EA's greed and laziness incarnate. This is just last year's game with a new number slapped on it. In addition, the game is a buggy mess. That's without even mentioning the egregious microtransactions clearly intended to take advantage of addictive behavior. Maybe wait until Madden NFL 31 when some of the problems might be fixed.

    EA is the worst company in the gaming industry and shouldn’t be allowed to rip off their player base any longer. It’s astonishing how each new EA sports title continues to get worse and worse. Not to mention the micro transactions in game should be considered gambling and not marketed towards kids.

    Copy paste of last game, but with added bugs. No thanks. EA need's top put more effort in their games. This is just cheap cash grab.

    I bought every madden since 2003. I played this game via EA trial and it’s literally THE SAME game as the previous year! No improvements. No create a team, no create a play, no team Column for career stats (STILL). How is this even remotely getting a 6/10!? Critics have lets this team get away with Murder and this year they are starting to finally hold them accountable but it’s far farI bought every madden since 2003.

In fact they are the reason why EA phones it in and doesn’t care! IGN giving a 80 or higher for the last 10 maddens?! They are as much to blame as EA. Don’t buy this game. #fixmaddenfranchise… Expand

    We as a community cannot let this pass. Madden 20 assets, same franchise for the 4th consecutive year, misspelled menu words, and The gameplay im not even gonna dive into that. It’s awful. EA is a Monopoly. Whenever the #NFLDropEA was trending, they gave THOUSANDS. UPON THOUSANDS of copies away, maybe even millions. They did that to keep you silent. Don’t let up. #EndMaddenMonopoly

    Horrible, the game in itself is just madden 20 reskinned to be sold AGAIN for 60$ and 70$ , The Greed in charging 70$ for an sports game for the next generation is absurd. 0 points. **** EA's greed.

    No excuses for how awful the Madden Series has gotten. Literally copy and paste. This is what a monopoly looks like.

    This is a disaster. I paid $60 for a game that is literally copy and paste from the last four years, with a few major exceptions. And these exceptions are even worse as they are simply more aggressive monetization schemes. Avoid this game at ALL costs.

    Gambling simulator with forced political statements. I really dont get why they try their best to kill an otherwise okay game. Of course its a yearly release like all EA titles, so why even add all the gambling and pack stuff. Your main audience is under 18 so its morally highly questionable to push gambling on them and at the same time force a political ideology on them without offer anyGambling simulator with forced political statements.

    Just the same crab as last year. There is no innovation in this game. The only thing that EA CARES ABOUT IS MONEY

    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.
