    I don’t understand why EA refuses to address fundamental issues with their games, issues present for years. Sloppy, lazy development, and it’s not just this game, it’s every single one. Year in and year out. Please stop buying, please unsubscribe from EA Play.

    Why buy a new game when you have so many other options from years past that are the exact same? Roster Update=60$

    Despite the game being out for over a year now, there are still so many major bugs. I was playing franchise today, and it just kept loading in the game. I waited for well over ten minutes just to load into a game and I finally had to close it out. A game that's been out for this long should not have these type of bugs remaining. There are plenty of other bugs that are still encounteredDespite the game being out for over a year now, there are still so many major bugs.

    The qb sneak doesn't gain any yards 9/10 times. And most of the time it loses yards! It's a simple play. But this game only has the qb fall down, not dive over the pile like every qb sneak I've ever seen.

    Devs have suck to new lows with this trash. Buggier and glitchier than all hell. This series has been on a serious decline for the last ten years. I didn't care too much about buying a new one every year when it was some solid gameplay, but the devs are so lazy and clearly don't care at all anymore. They just want to milk us fans. Thanks Obama!

    Madden NFL 21 is as fun and realistic as every Madden game, especially in its new “The Yard” mode and its increased focus on superstars, but its stagnation in gameplay innovation and established modes makes it sometimes difficult to distinguish its improvements over previous games.

    Madden 21 has the components to be a solid, if utterly by-the-numbers entry in the franchise. However, a raft of bugs and glitches serve to undo the game’s atmosphere at every turn.

    Given the sheer depth of the title, this Madden NFL 21 review could theoretically go on for another 1,000 words but there’s a good chance most readers already know whether or not they plan to invest in another season of tried and true NFL gameplay. Make no mistake, Madden NFL 21 is the best rendition of football this generation, and is A solid experience for anyone who takes the plunge — it just comes down to whether or not the new features warrant another purchase for regular fans.
