    Horrível, mercenário, mal feito e reciclado, comprar um jogo como esse é patrocinar uma indústria podre de jogos reciclados, mercenários e de métodos anti consumidor abudivos

    ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC GAME!
    This product is a disgrace to the NFL.
    You all have ripped the soul out of Career mode only to fill your pockets with the same old pay to win/gambling scheme for the sake of card packs.
    EA is lucky to have the exclusive rights to the NFL, your days are numbered!

    Why bring politics into sports. Sports is where people take their break from politics but the Great and amazing people at EA said “ no, no, no, we can’t have that.”

    It's the SAME EXACT GAME every. single. year. There's no passion, no innovation. Just a obvious cash grab that's been robbing fans of football for years. It's lacking content, no graphical improvements. Just poor development all the way around. No surprise from a company such as EA.

    Game is the same recycled garbage. First madden I haven’t bought in 21 years. Fix your game ea. Your shameless cash grab is just gross. Also canceled my ea pass sub. You can have my money when you stop crapping on the community

    Please give up your exclusive license you have no interest in making the game good anymore. The laziness is evident when you find past logos in this game. The only thing greedy ea is interested in making is the gambling portion of this game good. Every year we lose features a game like 2k5 still has more features than this game shameful

    This game sucks ass. Electronic Arts makes the same game every year and have for years. This is like the 8th game this generation and is still the same, in terms of graphics and in terms of gameplay. **** you EA

    EA stopped trying years ago. I use to play the loving heck out of these games and loved them. That was back in the madden 07 years.

    I started buying every few years because it REALLY wasn't changing at all. Now it's woke, rehashed garbage yet again..

    Please fix franchise mode...

    Use to get so excited to buy Madden every year in August. Have only bought it ever other year since Madden 17, and don’t even look forward to that anymore. I don’t play MUT, and if fans like that mode, that’s fine, but EA has the resources to make both at a very high end level.

    GARBAGE. Same ol' game, same ol' problems. COPY AND PASTE at it's finest. Nobody asked for the yard. It's fine as a mode but where are the Franchise updates? STRAIGHT ripping off fans.

    Amazing how NCAA 14 stands up years after it was developed yet madden gets worse. To top it all off EA is so worried about losing money on this game they put in Kaep as a pub stunt to get people to buy the game and he's rated higher than Cam Newton.

    By far the worst version of madden I’ve ever played and I been playing for over 20 years. The player ratings are a joke. The game glitches more than it ever has. You can’t get thru one game without something messing up. Which is crazy because I’m hard wired in and have the fastest internet you can buy. Face of the franchise is absolute trash.

Face of the franchise is absolute trash. Can’t change the settings and end up winning by a 100 points. Then the dude wears the same exact suit for 4 years in every press conference. You end up almost being replaced after rushing for like 300+ yards a game. Lmao yea ok. MUT is somewhat descent. But the solo battles are nonexistent. They’ve been down since I bought the game. Basically building a team for nothing. I’ve wrote EA and madden numerous times about the issue and they don’t give a **** After 20+ years playing madden, I’m done until the nfl drops EA.

    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.
