Do Not Buy Madden 21
BUYER BEWARE. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. I purchased the physical copy at walmart but before i opened the game, i played the full trial. After finishing the trial, i went back to walmart and retuned this game unopened for a FULL REFUND. EA must earn my purchase and this game is so bad in quality and gameplay that This will be the first Madden aince 1992 that i will not buy. The microtrasacrions and pointless money sucking modes are all they care about. I went and spent my money elsewhere. Buyer Beware of this game, DO NOT BUY.

    Opened item sold as new
    Came opened with a huge sticker on the font cover. Nowhere in the app did it say that it wasn't brand new.

    product delivered at a great price and on time.....this game is just full of glitches and is terrible. Too bad it's a year old and they don't care to fix it either, don't waste your money and more importantly your time.

    Fun but hampered by online only requirement
    Compared to my four-year old Madden, there are definitely improvements in gameplay and graphics. Although the story is a basic, I like the addition of creating your own player and bringing him through high school, college and to the pros. The trend it seems in the last couple of years with these get to the pro stories though is that you continue on with your trip to the pros, no matter how you perform in the high school and college portion of the game. I did well in that portion of Madden 21, so I dont know how the game reacts if you fail in the early portion of your career, but I do hope it reflects your performance and is not like my NBA2K game, in which I performed terribly in the start of my career, yet the story continued on with my being the next big phenom. I felt fairly comfortable with the game controls, although there are some slight changes that have taken me some time to get used to. For the most part, the gameplay feels smoother though, although not perfect as there are some occasional annoyances. The coach suggestions dont seem to be improved much for play calling. The graphics are sharp and look really good, although there is some room for improvement. Maybe it is because this is a transition year to the PS5 and the big graphics jump will be in the next years version. The player modeling and stadiums look pretty good though. Even the pregame show and halftime stuff makes me feel like I am watching a real game. The game commentary is good and varied, although gets repetitive over time. The sounds of the game are realistic and really bring you into the game. Big hits really sound like big hits now. The game feels more balanced offensively/defensively with a good running and passing game and a smarter defense, at least in comparison to my old Madden game. The kicking feels smoother compared to 17, which had glitches in the aiming mechanism. There is still some room for improvement for a smarter AI. Some things seem neglected, such as the franchise mode. The soundtrack is ok, but I personally turn the music down as it is annoying at times. I hate that EA kicks you out of the game, even in solo game mode or eye of the franchise if you lose EA server connection. Seriously EA? In the middle of a game, I lose connection to EA and it takes me back to the main menu and forces me to start the game over as it doesnt save your progress. Very frustrating. Granted, this series is in need of some major updates as there are only incremental changes each year and that seems to be the case here as well. The game is still fun and has some improvements that makes it worth paying 20 to make the jump after 4 years, but I would not shell out full price for the game year after year either, for the incremental updates. I hate the network issue kicking you out of games, even playing solo/eye of the franchise. The game is fun, but hampered by its online requirements and unstable EA connection, making it 3 stars instead of 4.

    Awesome
    This game is amazing. The price is great. Normally, you have to pay about twice as much for a XBOX ONE game, but I got this game for about $30.00 not counting shipping, but the price was still good even with shipping and handling. The game, and the game case was Brand New. I think it only took like a week to 2 weeks to be delivered to my house. I give this 5 stars. It's a great game, and really fun to play.

    Better than I thought
    I was skeptical about getting Madden 21, because it didn't seem to be much different from Madden 20, but I find that they have fixed a lot of the issues that Madden 20 had. This game seems to be a lot more realistic in gameplay than it's predecessor. I give it 4 stars because it could've made some changes to help it stand apart from M20, but it's a fun game!

    Madden for the win!
    Came on time and is what was expected. I have not played it yet, it is a gift for our sons for Christmas. But Madden never disappoints, so I am sure it will be enjoyed greatly!

    Great Black Friday Deal!
    I bought this game for my husband and a Christmas present. He asked for a few specific games for Christmas and this was on it. I got it at a good deal for black Friday.

    Delivery/Packaging
    I'm sure my child will love the game, but this was supposed to be a Christmas present from Santa; however the game was delivered in a Walmart plastic sack without any other packaging around the game so that it was hidden. My child happened to be outside when the two games I ordered were delivered so he brought in the sacks and saw the games, then questioned why we bought it instead of getting it from Santa. I am not impressed with how Walmart packages items ordered from Walmart.com. Next time I will just pick up in the store.
