    Whilst improvements have been made to overall presentation and data analytics in Madden NFL 21 NXT LVL Edition on Xbox Series X|S, this remains largely the same disappointing entry. It is severely hampered by shallow game modes such as The Yard, Superstar KO, Class Franchise and Face of the Franchise. In the months since the initial release these could have been fleshed out, but the only major update comes in the form of Next Gen Stats.

    With beautiful and accurate presentation as well as great gameplay, the basics are done fantastically well. It is such a shame then to see the rest of the package convoluted with endless menus and unnecessary, incomplete feeling modes. Madden 21 is certainly heading the right direction, here's hoping the newest iteration 'pads' everything out.

Compared to what 2k was able to do with their next gen upgrade, it is very poor. The Next Gen stats feature is very minor and isn't implemented in Franchise mode atall, and there is no new features in any of the game modes. Expand

    Same buggy, barebones, stripped down excuse for a game.

    Poor. A joke really.

Its a full casino hidden within a football game fully takin advantage of children attempting to get them to steal your credit card to illegally gamble thousands of dollars. I suggest anyone looking into this game steer far from it especially any parents. This game takes advantage of your child and tries to get them addicted to gambling. Expand

    EA does not deserve the license to make NFL games anymore. If you purchase this game, you are contributing to the problem

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where do I start. Gameplay is broken at best. EA advertises the game as a football sim but it’s more of horrible arcade style that doesn’t work. Long story short this is the worst madden ever released. Expand
