So youre saying they put even less effort into the game than they did with the box art?

what's the issue with Madden 21?

is it too similar to its predecessor, too buggy/unplayable, some combination, or something else?

I think it's a combination of things.
  • Recycled features
  • Dumb game breaking bugs
  • Laziness in presentation (Madden 19 and Madden 20 banners left in stadium designs)
  • No new features at all for franchise mode
  • "The Yard" mode seems to be lazily implemented as a more arcade-ish 6 on 6 mode.

Good

It's embarrassing how bad it is. Not only is ESPN NFL 2k5 a much better football game than Madden 21, Madden 2005 is a much better football game than Madden 21. There really isn't a better word than embarrassing.

It's sad that there has been almost no competition since 2004 either. The only major effort was All Pro Football 2k8 (which is the best football game ever made gameplay-wise) and the success of that game probably explains why there has been no other major competition.

Maximum Football 2020 looks better than Madden and the developers actually listen to the fans. But unfortunately the developers of that game probably have one ten thousandth of the funding that EA has. Also that game doesn't look like it will be released on PC

I would say, "good," but who cares, it's still going to sell like hot cakes.

I got NBA 2K20 because it was free on PS+ and Im really enjoying it. My last NBA 2K prior was 2K13 though, so I didnt get that same thing every year feeling that other people who buy the game every year get.

Fun game with friends but Tecmo Super Bowl against the computer is either the best thing ever, boring, or the worst thing ever

EA just botched their latest UFC game as well.

Theyre just a garbage tier company.

The critic score is the worst for a flagship Madden game possibly ever.

Critics gave Madden games BS scores in the 8-8.5 range saying "it's a step in the right direction" for the longest time. Then for Madden 20 the metacritic critic score was 76 and now this.

This.

If user ratings equated to $$$, EA would go on damage control of astronomical proportions and fire the whole team who developed it to recoup costs. Money is all that ever mattered to EA.
