    I guess it depends on what mode you play, I stick to the franchise mode and almost nothing has changed from last year. I would give it a lower score but the tackling and just overall feel while playing has gotten a more realistic feel to it. That and to be fair I don't play the other modes, so I don't want to be too harsh, but if your like me and buy madden for the franchise mode, yourI guess it depends on what mode you play, I stick to the franchise mode and almost nothing has changed from last year.

    This is the first Madden that I've put a lot of hours into in a long time, so I don't think I'm as outraged as others as a result. I think some of the mechanics, especially player movements, are the best they've ever been. The career mode is pretty half-baked, though, and the franchise mode is the same as it has ever been.

    I haven't been happy with a Madden game in at least 10 years. Maybe arcade mode is nothing new; it's new to me and I'm loving the simpler gameplay focused on high scores and big plays!

    I have played Madden for years and I can say that this game gave some hope for one in a long time. It offered several changes that help many things fans wanted. But there are some changes that we know need to be fixed. I love football, I like Madden, at times. The fanbase can be the worst part, if we are excluding the AI.

    This game is ok. It is a vast improvement over 19, but it's not perfect. Defense is still broken.

    Madden NFL 20 is light on marquee features but builds a solid foundation for the future. [Issue#182, p.81]

    If you’re a football fan there’s a load of fun to be had with this game and Madden NFL 20 is a solid experience with a massive improvement over last year’s offering.

    If EA wanted to do something revolutionary with the series, it would have offered Madden NFL 20 as a roster and feature update to Madden NFL 19. Not because there isn’t an enjoyable, playable game here, but because Madden NFL 20 is just more of the same when the series should be making strides toward true greatness.
