Sorry about the low quality game footage. I did a livestream so you guys could experience the game with me while I played it for the review, and UA-cam decided to heavily compress the visuals so that they look awful. But hey, I'm not going to play this terrible game for another few hours just to get higher quality footage. So hopefully you guys still find this to be a good video. Also, because I'm sure some of you are wondering, I signed up for a one month subscription to EA Play Pro on PC, which gave me the full game, not a trial, for $15. So no, I didn't waste $60 on this mess, and that's how I got the game early.
EA should've got the message that it's about gameplay and A.I. The presentation of course,also needs updating. That doesn't mean you put Snoop Dog...Lion...whatever he calls himself now,into the presentation. I mean it's not like EA has a NHL series where they curiously inserted Snoop into commentary that people questioned why even do that. ....oh wait!
@@lilpitt4860 It's cool he's a fan but,for EA to have him as a guest commentator on NHL 20? That's not exactly what people meant when they wanted EA to update their NHL presentation.
Meanwhile, Konami for this years PES (yes, soccer, football, whatever), decided to only make it an actual roster/jersey update due to them wanting to focus on working with a new engine and wanting to work on the next gen version of PES. So, they reduced the price of this years verison from 60 down to about 25. Good on them. Actually caring about their customers.
@John beason Gamers are quick to jump on the bandwagon. If one person starts to hate and gets a few followers, fast forward a couple of years and people hate that company and really dont know why.
I did face of the franchise, chose Lamar Jackson to model my character after, ran a 4.46 at the combine (as everyone has) and I went to the NFL. My qbs speed was........65. 65? How?
wilson miller you’re exactly right bro but if you compare 2k to ea what we call shitty for 2k is fucking amazing for ea so if madden 20 was even half of what 2k20 is madden 20 would be a good football game compared to the shit ea has been dropping the past 6 years
Something as so simple as having crowd noise effecting plays like done in NCAA football (which they own the rights to) isn’t in the game. Playing in the arrowhead should feel different than in Jacksonville

"I'm not here to be professional." You sir, are a legend. I love your shit man!! You and Moody need to keep it up. We will get a decent franchise mode someday!!
It really irked me how they said it was 6v6/7v7 or whatever. And you still have cpus in it. I thought it was all gonna be actual players Kills the whole thing for me that it's not
Exactly. Madden 20 RE-Skinned and pushed out with a different Face of Franchise and The Yard game modes for an extra 60-100 dollars depending on which one you "purchase". Just found out how to do rosters and such on Madden 20 so no Madden 21 for me.
Once I scored a game winning TD, ya know what the spectators say? “Well that TD didn’t affect the score but... it looks better on their stats.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Yard seems to be exactly like what Volta is in FIFA 20. An attempt to capture the magic that the EA Sports BIG games of the mid 2000s had, but absolutely nullified by the game's core gameplay
This is the most honest review I've seen of Madden thus far. Our group hasn't played in a about 10 years and we decided to get into it this year and start up a franchise with fantasy draft. Everything about the game was awful. Being forced to create a player for a game mode I don't care about, then being forced to have to look at that a**hole the whole time you're in menus is ridiculous. I'm not sure how he forgot to talk about the sound track but WHOA. That is a dumpster fire for sure. Worst sound track of any sports game I have ever played. The fantasy draft is terrible, I thought I recalled back in 2010 being able to see a full draft board and see who was drafted by which team drafted them and in which round, etc. Not any more. Also you can't see the draft order, so if you only have 10 players in your league, it's a mystery when the AI is drafting. It also failed to give you an option to scout players before the draft. So you better be ready and hope you don't accidentally draft someone who is out for 46 weeks with an injury. Seriously, this game is so disappointing. We haven't played in so long because frankly, everyone hates EA. EA has consistently ruined this franchise and most any other franchise they touch. Welp, congrats EA, you got our money this year. We will absolutely be jumping ship once someone else releases a football game. This is a great example of what happens when someone has a monopoly. It went from something they took pride in to something that just feels lazy and uninspired.
Loved this video. I don’t ever write comments, but you deserved it. (Not that my comments are anything special lol) But I am so grateful for refreshing, honest feedback. I am a HUGE football fan and was once the guy always at the midnight madden release at GameStop. Yet now I haven’t bought madden in 7 years because of exactly what you cover in this video. It’s horrible. Keep up the good work man
1:42 "It's bogged down by Madden's awful gameplay" That's it. Just stop there. That's all you need. Madden could make the most in depth and expansive franchise mode, career mode, and whatever else, and it wouldn't matter because the gameplay has been absolute dogshit for as long as I can remember, and that's like punching the bottom of a jenga tower.
Growing up with Madden 🤦🏿♂️ seeing this makes me want to go back in time and tell 2k not to sell NFL 2K5 for $20 so EA and the NFL don't get butthurt and proceed to ruin these series of games for the next decade and a half
7:05; "An NFL team would fit perfectly in Oakland." Wow EA, wanna twist that knife a little more? Maybe suggest that they call their team the Warriors or the Seals?
By the way, IGN is giving the game 6. They are sick of the ish too. The fall of Madden should be starting now. When I say fall, I mean it won’t make the money they want.
Me too for sure. I was debating on it. Haven’t purchased madden since 14, and was wanting to play face of franchise, but won’t be doing so unless I can get it used
@@midnightslayer4291 look it up called sonic the hedgehog or better known as 'sonic 2006' it was filled with glitches like when you fought silver he could freeze you forcing you to close app. It sucks
The Duke exactly they don’t know what’s it like to have Refs on the field of play. Signature run and catch animations. They don’t know what a strip, button is.
As a European who has gotten into (American) football the last couple of years but has been a lifelong soccer fan, I assure you that while FIFA is bad, worse and less deep than it used to be, animation-based, predatory and manipulative, and inferior to PES in many ways, it's CONTINENTS ahead of Madden! omg I was aghast upon trying Madden 20, my first Madden ever, and could not believe how poor it actually was. For all it's faults, FIFA has fun and relatively functional core gameplay despite being animation heavy merely because soccer is less complex to simulate. Madden is straight broken!!! since animations are much more prominent, everything is broken! every tackle, every player movement... is wrong! but they even mess up other basic things that FIFA (or, any game for that matter) gets more or less right, like how can they mess up the helmet collision clacks?! go listen to those sounds in 2K8!
Wannabuild a dynasty recruiting high schoolers, scout them to see whos a bust and whos a high potential superstar? Try ncaa football 13. Wanna sell an nfl team and create a new team with logos, colors and alternate uniforms and send them to a new city? Try madden 07. Did i mention the tony bruno show that debuted in 05? Its not dlc, it came fully finished in a complete game.
Bruh I played both last year and I can tell you that FIFA 20 is the worst game ive ever played in my life. Madden 20 wasnt the best but fifa is literally the worst the only fun mode is pro clubs and it hasnt been touched since FIFA 15. While Madden has gotten worst throughout the years FIFA has always been worst than Madden. In Madden at least you can have fun this last FIFA had the worst gameplay of any game ive ever played. So get out of here with the FIFA comments that game has no future
Same old song and dance. At this point I'm tired of wasting my breath. EA doesn't care about the consumers opinion. Im done buying this gm. #dontbuymadden!
@@CheddarGasz no? I've been playing madden 20 for the last 3 months straight. And I already notice better QB play, RB play, Defensive line play. Is it the best football game? No. But it fixed a lot of basic issues that Madden20 has. M20: Your QB slow to run until you get past the line of scrimmage and suddenly slingshot to full speed. M21: You hold sprint and your QB runs up to their full speed before line of scrimmage. Stuff like that
This year won't be the next-gen experience they'll try to claim it as. Next year could be it but let's not hold our collective breath for that to happen.
I love that you talked about Truzz... cause nobody has talked about how they gave the cover athlete the lamest X factor just to cover up the fact qbs fumble when they are touched in this game
Life’s full of disappointments. Deal with it people. If you’re not getting it why are you idiots hanging around a madden review. I’m getting it “suck it”
@@gianniaurilio8163 I was excited they finally put create a team in. Still a little light on depth but moving in the right direction. Figured next years game would build on it. Now its likely we will see F1UT and get a watered down career mode haha
So in your case, instead of "The Comeback", it's more like "The Unexpected" where a total bust gets injured, then turns out to actually be pretty good.
I have been playing madden for years and this the first time that I will not be buying it I will not throw away my money for a game that EA refuses to make better
If you and Moody could get together and start a petition to nullify the contract between the NFL and EA, that would be awesome. The way I see it, EA has defaulted on the obligation to produce a simulation football game. They haven't put any effort into Franchise mode or the game play. They are spending their time on the yard and MUT. I just want 2K or someone else to be allowed to compete in the category of simulation football.
I dont know if anyone has ever noticed, because ive never seen it online anywhere, the career stats of several players in madden havent changed in years. In CFM last year, odell had 2500 yards and 180 receptions total. Hes one of probably 50-60 players who are missing entire season of stats and it effects the legacy score and all that too. Horrible
Woah woah woah... Don't compare this to sonic 06. Sonic 06 did something madden hasn't done for years.. they actually used a new game engine and built a game from the ground up lol In all seriousness great video. I really enjoy your channel
NFL doesn’t care about the quality of the game. All they look at is sales and profits. Which after EA showed them that they made over $1 billion from Madden 20, the NFL extended their exclusive license to them.
Then don't buy it, they obviously don't care and signed a 6 year extension and only like $$$ which most of y'all give them because its the only game in town. If a change is to be made then people just need to stop buying it
In face of the franchise when you can let “fate decide your team” and it’s always the Bears. Always. They can’t even get a randomized button working. We’re so stupid for buying this shit.
Played Madden 08 Franchise last night. Released my third teir QB because I needed the cap space. In the next game, BOTH of my QBs got injured and I had my punter in at QB. I had to change my style to a running game. We won. After, the papers (yes that exists in that game) we going off about the match. THAT'S how you do a franchise mode!
@@k-2768 actually it does offline, since MLB are to slow to lurk it makes the game offline unplayable since you can't even get a pick unless it's a click on from AI while Online H2H on the other hand you won't get a user pick but you'll click on instead because some people make terrible decisions and you must capitalize
I was just thinking about wanting to play madden 09 last night bc I already knew 21 was gonna be trash. 09 was so much fun and had a lot of little things that made it my favorite madden.
@@bladezoflight856 actually 2k8 is better gameplay wise. And with king javos editor I play with nfl players. So thank God I don't have to buy this Madden crap.
Y’all haven’t played it yet. You can’t give it a rating without experiencing it yourself. That’s like reviewing a movie that you haven’t watched. Instead, you should just take his word for it and not buy the game, especially based on EA’s recent history

JamTheJam i put 20
Gotta add 2 first rounders to that my guy hahaha
Val N fr😂
Val N i forgot i really need teddy bridgewater
"I'm not here to be professional." You sir, are a legend. I love your shit man!! You and Moody need to keep it up. We will get a decent franchise mode someday!!
I giggle at the EA loading screen. It says things like "Flipping coin" and "Breaking huddle". Things that have actually been removed from Madden. XD
Literally madden 20 with the yard
Disgusting
It really irked me how they said it was 6v6/7v7 or whatever. And you still have cpus in it. I thought it was all gonna be actual players
Kills the whole thing for me that it's not
Exactly. Madden 20 RE-Skinned and pushed out with a different Face of Franchise and The Yard game modes for an extra 60-100 dollars depending on which one you "purchase". Just found out how to do rosters and such on Madden 20 so no Madden 21 for me.
So it's like fifa 19 with volta? (Fifa 20)
From what I've seen, I'd buy The Yard as a standalone game for $30.
Stfuuuuuuu
I scored 112 points and the other team scored 0. You know what the spectators said?
“Both these offenses are lighting it up”😂😂
Once I scored a game winning TD, ya know what the spectators say? “Well that TD didn’t affect the score but... it looks better on their stats.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My defense got two consecutive safeties and it didn’t show on the scoreboard, so I won by 3 but it looked like I lost by 1
Wow
The Yard seems to be exactly like what Volta is in FIFA 20. An attempt to capture the magic that the EA Sports BIG games of the mid 2000s had, but absolutely nullified by the game's core gameplay
Oh, and microtransactions. Don't forget those bloody things.
Oh you obviously haven't played the game yet
Nfl street 2 stands alone
Alfreyon Hester nah the game does fuck it up
No one played Volta though 😜

@@willbrown423 - That is the joke, I guess, as neither of those things happened.
Is this a joke or is it tru
Tommy didn’t die, SDT was just joking saying that it would be funny if it happened, because Face of the Franchise has a really boring story
This is the most honest review I've seen of Madden thus far. Our group hasn't played in a about 10 years and we decided to get into it this year and start up a franchise with fantasy draft. Everything about the game was awful. Being forced to create a player for a game mode I don't care about, then being forced to have to look at that a**hole the whole time you're in menus is ridiculous. I'm not sure how he forgot to talk about the sound track but WHOA. That is a dumpster fire for sure. Worst sound track of any sports game I have ever played. The fantasy draft is terrible, I thought I recalled back in 2010 being able to see a full draft board and see who was drafted by which team drafted them and in which round, etc. Not any more. Also you can't see the draft order, so if you only have 10 players in your league, it's a mystery when the AI is drafting. It also failed to give you an option to scout players before the draft. So you better be ready and hope you don't accidentally draft someone who is out for 46 weeks with an injury. Seriously, this game is so disappointing. We haven't played in so long because frankly, everyone hates EA. EA has consistently ruined this franchise and most any other franchise they touch. Welp, congrats EA, you got our money this year. We will absolutely be jumping ship once someone else releases a football game. This is a great example of what happens when someone has a monopoly. It went from something they took pride in to something that just feels lazy and uninspired.
Loved this video. I don’t ever write comments, but you deserved it. (Not that my comments are anything special lol)
But I am so grateful for refreshing, honest feedback. I am a HUGE football fan and was once the guy always at the midnight madden release at GameStop. Yet now I haven’t bought madden in 7 years because of exactly what you cover in this video. It’s horrible.
Keep up the good work man
same.
Those were the days lol.
Same I think it has been 7 years
I was one too. For nba2k as well. Now ill buy every other year and only when its like half off lol
may as well take this logic and apply it to Call of Duty and Battlefield as well.

1:42 "It's bogged down by Madden's awful gameplay"
That's it. Just stop there. That's all you need. Madden could make the most in depth and expansive franchise mode, career mode, and whatever else, and it wouldn't matter because the gameplay has been absolute dogshit for as long as I can remember, and that's like punching the bottom of a jenga tower.

Madden hasn’t been good in years. Until EA has some competition or people stop buying the game we won’t ever get a good Madden game again.
EA peaked with NCAA 14. It's been consistent garbage ever since.
Just bought a 360 so I can play ncaa14 again. This is the 1st year I'm not buying madden
Nah, EA peaked mid2000s with Madden 04-08. Everything after that was going downhill
Peaked way before that
I’m starting another new dynasty on ps3 right now! Again!!!
While I loved NCAA 14, the 360 games lost a ton of features that the PS2 versions had. EA sports games peaked in the PS2 era.
Incoming: wait for next gen comments. Nobody should have to wait 5 years for a game to be a good game
Facts people are idiots
Watch next gen madden be worse
@The Duke trust me ik. I remember playing blitz on ps1. Still oneof my faves when i was a kid
Growing up with Madden 🤦🏿♂️ seeing this makes me want to go back in time and tell 2k not to sell NFL 2K5 for $20 so EA and the NFL don't get butthurt and proceed to ruin these series of games for the next decade and a half
7:05; "An NFL team would fit perfectly in Oakland."
Wow EA, wanna twist that knife a little more? Maybe suggest that they call their team the Warriors or the Seals?
Softdrink: madden is horrible still
Me: woah a new player creation engine, that actually looks-
Softdrink: only available in a practice mode.

Can we make a Twitter # trending saying “don’t buy madden 2021”. That would be awesome and would hopefully get the attention of the NFL again.
Yes I'm down if we could DM (Bring Back NFL 2K)
The Biggun' no. The MUT people don’t outnumber the casual players. Those chumps were buying it no matter what.
To late and they dont care, its going to be nothing but madden for almost 6 more years

not if you bought ea pass.
Thats every sports game.
I'm still upset that for years they called long snappers "tight ends"
So that explains the low rated Tight ends. You never see a snap screwed up.
Some snappers are back up TEs
This is a decent, honest, review. Thank you. You’re going to save me a lot of money.
Me too for sure. I was debating on it. Haven’t purchased madden since 14, and was wanting to play face of franchise, but won’t be doing so unless I can get it used

People who say “ it’s only a video game” never played Madden on PS2
The Duke exactly they don’t know what’s it like to have Refs on the field of play. Signature run and catch animations. They don’t know what a strip, button is.
As a European who has gotten into (American) football the last couple of years but has been a lifelong soccer fan, I assure you that while FIFA is bad, worse and less deep than it used to be, animation-based, predatory and manipulative, and inferior to PES in many ways, it's CONTINENTS ahead of Madden! omg I was aghast upon trying Madden 20, my first Madden ever, and could not believe how poor it actually was.
For all it's faults, FIFA has fun and relatively functional core gameplay despite being animation heavy merely because soccer is less complex to simulate. Madden is straight broken!!! since animations are much more prominent, everything is broken! every tackle, every player movement... is wrong! but they even mess up other basic things that FIFA (or, any game for that matter) gets more or less right, like how can they mess up the helmet collision clacks?! go listen to those sounds in 2K8!
For a European I can tell you know Jack shit about Madden... You've just Come on here to basically say Fifa is better than Madden. Prick!

Its not dlc, it came fully finished in a complete game.
TheCockmeister you sound like a dumbass for sure
Bruh I played both last year and I can tell you that FIFA 20 is the worst game ive ever played in my life. Madden 20 wasnt the best but fifa is literally the worst the only fun mode is pro clubs and it hasnt been touched since FIFA 15. While Madden has gotten worst throughout the years FIFA has always been worst than Madden. In Madden at least you can have fun this last FIFA had the worst gameplay of any game ive ever played. So get out of here with the FIFA comments that game has no future
Same old song and dance. At this point I'm tired of wasting my breath. EA doesn't care about the consumers opinion. Im done buying this gm. #dontbuymadden!

@@CheddarGasz no? I've been playing madden 20 for the last 3 months straight. And I already notice better QB play, RB play, Defensive line play. Is it the best football game? No. But it fixed a lot of basic issues that Madden20 has.

M21: You hold sprint and your QB runs up to their full speed before line of scrimmage.

@@EagleZtoTheGrave hahaha good point actually, I wasn't thinking
If you and Moody could get together and start a petition to nullify the contract between the NFL and EA, that would be awesome. The way I see it, EA has defaulted on the obligation to produce a simulation football game. They haven't put any effort into Franchise mode or the game play. They are spending their time on the yard and MUT. I just want 2K or someone else to be allowed to compete in the category of simulation football.
Lol wont do anything
Or get nfl stars to question EA Madden. I blame nfl commissioners much more than EA when they keep resigning that extension
I dont know if anyone has ever noticed, because ive never seen it online anywhere, the career stats of several players in madden havent changed in years. In CFM last year, odell had 2500 yards and 180 receptions total. Hes one of probably 50-60 players who are missing entire season of stats and it effects the legacy score and all that too. Horrible
Same for Patrick mahomes. Even though he only played one game his rookie season, they just left it off his stats completely
Woah woah woah... Don't compare this to sonic 06. Sonic 06 did something madden hasn't done for years.. they actually used a new game engine and built a game from the ground up lol

NFL doesn’t care about the quality of the game. All they look at is sales and profits. Which after EA showed them that they made over $1 billion from Madden 20, the NFL extended their exclusive license to them.
No more madden for me until they improve it, im talking about re shape the whole game
TheHuskyK9 that’s what sucks madden is breaking revenue records so the nfl doesn’t care.
Then don't buy it, they obviously don't care and signed a 6 year extension and only like $$$ which most of y'all give them because its the only game in town.
If a change is to be made then people just need to stop buying it
