It's A new learning curve. Give it a try.

Of course I'd like to see a deeper franchise mode and a LOT less of that stupid MUT garbage, but it definitely has potential.

I was going to give Madden 5 stars without even trying the game, just because it's Madden. The problem is I had a choice between getting a mailed copy or a digital download for PC. I decided I wanted a hard copy mailed to me on release day. They sent me a box with a digital code inside of it. I could have been playing the game 12 hours before if I knew that. Maybe there's fine print I missed or Im just not a smart gamer, but it still annoyed me.

This game is really, really bad

If you're like me, and you're thinking of buying this game because you enjoyed Madden 10 years ago... don't. I guess the yearly buyers have slipped more gradually into accepting the garbage changes to this franchise, but I am seeing them for the first time, and they are not good. Games themselves have somehow both been dumbed down to absurdity, yet also complicated with so many useless bells and whistles that the entire ordeal feels both confusing and unfulfilling. The menus are the worst-designed I've seen in a Madden game. It's impossible to play without a controller, so if you don't have one then this game will cost you $60 plus the cost of a controller (even if you just want to tinker in Franchise mode and not play actual games, the menus are intentionally designed poorly to make you break down and buy a controller). And of course, the worst of it is that every other screen is an advertisement for some awful pay-to-win feature no one could ever want, the tooltips are invasive and laughable, the entire thing appeals to the lowest common denominator. On top of it all, the PC port in particular is buggy and choppy as hell, which I should have realized considering these games are made primarily for console gamers. I feel like an idiot for buying this game but, lesson learned, at least I won't spend my money on another Madden game anytime soon.

Same Game as 19' but looks far better than PS4!

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2019

I AM tired of EA simply giving us the same game with roster updates and the same engine. However, I love football and since EA has paid to monopolize the NFL game, I have no choice. I do not buy every year and I only buy on Black Friday when it is half price.

I had Madden 19' on PS4 and enjoyed it to a degree, but I did not want to pay for PS+ this year (with PS5 on the way!), so I decided to go back to Madden on PC. What I hate about BOTH of these versions is that EA took away the one things that I loved while playing people online - picking your own uniforms and the WEATHER!!!! Why did they take these options off? That is the only thing that broke the monotony. I personally love playing in snow or wind and in mud!

Anyway... I have a GTX 1070Ti, 32GB RAM and an Intel 9800X. I tried this game on DirectX 12 and it stutters like crazy to the point that it is unplayable. I had to switch back to 11 and I was able to max out the options, as I should have been able to do. I guess they must not have programmed it right for 12.

With 11 and maxed settings, there is a VERY clear difference between this game graphically and the PS4! You know it's the same engine - only running on much better hardware. With what appears to be a true 60 FPS on PC, it looks smooth and cleaner. Now instead of looking like a run of the mill Madden we have seen for too long, it is actually something to look at now instead of playing. The stadiums are largely the same, with the same city backdrops for way too long, but they look better on better hardware. They DO need to update them. Putting true to life city backdrops would be nice. I would also like to see tessellation in this game as well.

Game play wise - it is the same as 19 and the menus are basically the same as well. I always said that they should not change menus in this or NBA 2K once they have a nice design, as no one wants a learning curve for the same game! I will also admit that the better look could be due to the smaller screen size, but it is still more impressive that the PS4.

Other than that, it is the same game as 19' and it is only worth buying during Black Friday.

Meet the New League, Same as the Old League

This is an early review, based on playing several games over the past few days. Note I only play in franchise mode, so I can’t comment on Ultimate Team or Face of Franchise modes.

If you’ve played Madden NFL 19 you’ll feel right at home here. It’s so similar, it’s more like an update than a new release. The menus are very much the same, and if you liked your existing commentators, well, you can keep your commentators. Not only are the same two guys back, but the dialog is simply copied over. I noticed one or two different comments, but otherwise, it’s all the same.

One change for the worse is you can no longer save the game. How EA considers this a feature is beyond me. It’s auto-saves only. If a game goes bad and you want to try again with a different strategy, too bad, ‘cuz it’s in the books.

One interesting change is the XFactor. Some of the top players in the league can now gain an ability, sort of a superpower, if they perform a defined objective. A linebacker may need two sacks, or a safety two breakups. The ability, once gained, lasts until something “bad” happens, like the offense gains 20 yards. Then you can try to get the ability back again. So far, I haven’t seen that the abilities are all that great, and it’s easy to focus on gaining the ability at the risk of giving up big plays.

A very useful change now is each offensive play lists it’s primary runner/receiver. This lets you rotate players in and chose the best player for a given situation.

Overall it’s still a fun game. If you haven’t played in a while, it’s worth picking up. But if you have Madden NFL 19, you really don’t gain much by buying this version.

Get console version if you want controller suppor.

No Controller support and Unremarkable graphics.

EA and their worsening track record has in their quest to further damage their reputation. Has removed controller support from Origin. No games support even a Xbox One controller plugged in via USB. The games I have on Steam work fine even with a Dual Shock 4. First time bought madden on PC. Bad mistake. Console version is better.

Graphics is not much better than PS4. Even with all the graphics maxed out. You can put all the bells and whistles in graphics settings. On my Radeon 5700XT equipped PC. It runs smoothly. It’s not a processing issue. Visually It’s not much better than the madden 2018 I have on PS4. Which is sad since a gaming pc should look much better.

Menus have gotten worse.

The old NCAA football series were better in every way. NFL should seriously consider a secondary company to compete with EA.

Awful Port and Bad Servers

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2019

Platform For Display: PCEdition: Standard

This game is so poorly made it'll be great if the NFL dumps EA when their current contract is up. The game is full of bugs and bizarre behavior during game play to the point itll win or lose you games. The server latency is terrible making jukes tackles or any timed movement and especially the timing on kicking very inconsistent in online head to head. So sad this is the only nfl game
