    Worst game ever. I couldn’t believe this. I tried this at a retail shop. I have no urge to continue playing after 5 minutes into the game. Please let other dev chance to make a good Football game.

    This is just Madden NFL 20 with a bit of gloss paint over and this is still the same Madden we have seen for the last 10 years. Full of micro transactions and not worth one pound. luck I can get a full refund. just do not buy this. poor game full of bugs and lag and another poor game from EA the crooks of the games world.

    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!!!!

    Carbon copy of the previous title with old bugs still attached. I believe EA should not have a monopoly on the NFL. It's basically using capitalism to ensure dictatorship.

    The Madden series has more than underwhelmed its fans year after year. Madden NFL 21 is no different, outdoing all of its predecessors as it attempts to be the worse game ever released.

    Selling the same game with small tweaks is scummy. How is this even legal, as child gambling takes place in front of the eyes of the law, at this point arrests need to be made, enough is enough and this has to stop and there is plenty of public interest for it. To quote Monty Python. NAIL EM UP I SAY.

    This game, like EA is a disgrace. Buying Madden NFL 21 or even the last three or more games in the series is the equivalent of buying an expensive broken down Lamborghini that's been in a dumpster for far too long, and reeks of rotten food, drugs and rat feces. Please don't waste your money.

    This is my first madden purchase since 2006. Due to a complete lack of any type of understanding on how a game should be, and a complacent attitude from the Executives, the result of 0.0 has been enacted. A complete shamble of just major issues. I have an 80$ coaster, that serves my table safety, more so than my safety. It's money first, new game same frame next year.

    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.

    An atrocious football simulation game. EA has greatly expanded the number of game modes in Madden over the past couple of years at the detriment to the depth and immersion of all modes in the game. This game added no features to its already anemic franchise mode and it features many bugs upon release such as rainbow colored coaches, players wearing the wrong college jerseys in FOTF, andAn atrocious football simulation game. EA has greatly expanded the number of game modes in Madden over the past couple of years at the detriment to the depth and immersion of all modes in the game. This game added no features to its already anemic franchise mode and it features many bugs upon release such as rainbow colored coaches, players wearing the wrong college jerseys in FOTF, and blank fields that have no sidelines or hash marks, just to name a very select few. The Yard serves only as an excuse to monetize the game further. Face of the Franchise has a pathetically cringey story. Even Ultimate Team has atrociously laggy menus that make it completely unbearable to endure. Many gameplay and AI flaws from previous titles have continued into this one as well. You can only get so much fun from such broken gameplay. Please do not give EA $60 or more for this piss poor effort.… Expand

    Rehashed game with different colored UI. The audacity on these people to recycle the same game year after year is embarrassing. Don’t waste money on these leeches.

    I don't know what to say, the game is awful! EA should be ashamed of this game, but they are proud of it. How can you keep making this game so bad when you used to make this game so good?? You would think that with all the technology the game would be awesome, but that's not the case with Madden anymore, it keeps getting worse and worse.

    The same game, brought back again, with all-new glitches and horrible character models. And the devs have the absolute gall to call us "clowns".

    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.
