Under normal circumstances, we would not write about the Madden American football simulator at all, after all, the number of fans of this sport is negligible in our region. This year is an exception, unfortunately not in a positive sense.
On Steam, where only people who have actually played the game can rate, Madden has a rating of 45%.

Electronic Arts managed a really hussar stunt, when they managed to replace the unsuccessful remake of Warcraft 3 in the position of the worst-rated game on Metacritic (we wrote here). For the playstation version of Madden 21, the game is lit. for user evaluation currently a score of 0.3 averaged out of almost 2,500 individual ratings.
Of course, virtually all games from EA face after release review bombingu, but usually there are enough fans who can pull the rating at least somewhere to three points. This time there are only 19 positive reactions.
It took me a while to find in the user “reviews” some stronger arguments than “it’s a waste” and “I hate Electronic Arts”, in the end I came to the conclusion that the main reasons for the audience’s sharply negative reaction are two.
The first is that there is only a minimal change and Madden 21 is at the core the same game as last year. The second argument is the allegedly uneaten economy of the game, which draws more money from players on the principle of gambling. So basically the same arguments that can be made against any EA Sports game in the last ten years. It can be assumed that the same fate awaits this year’s FIFA and NHL Games.
