cant load into the game, "unexpected error"
I wish I could play football. this app is 50% ads 49% opening packs and 1% football, it's insane Madden Mobile's revenue is estimated at 15 million, and they can't even make the game about football. genuinely frustrating wanting to love this game, it's so fun. but between the ads and the stupid stuff like "you win 16 glorps, worth 29 nannils, which unlocks half a nfl player" type shi. literally please stop creating 5 million different types of gems and coins and tokens and bucks and everything
Played this game a lot back in 2025 and it was great. Then the 2026 update came out. players I had spent weeks grinding for suddenly were worthless as their overalls were dropped so low that lower rarity 2026 cards because better. For example,I had spent 5 weeks working for a 230 overall marvel rarity Lawrence Taylor card and then when the 2026 update hit his overall dropped to around 90. Would not recommend playing it if you have any intention of doing it for a long time.
almost impossible to pass. update messed up game. not worth playing.
this game Is trash I couldn't even get passed the loading screen waist of time and data
how tf can I not have internet when click play from playatore
I tried to complete a objective where I had to make 3 field goals and no matter what I did it still said no good game is broken do not install
FIX THE QUARTERS AND THE LAGGING
I know like I know like I know... that 90% of you are going to null my review. That's ok. I'm just trying to heads up one person. To my guy, this game is BS. It's a money grab. You get extremely little in return for a lot of money spent. A lot of grinding, you get very little in return. A short example; I have a 205 ovr offense. My QB throws a INT against a 100 ovr defense. Lol. You'll only understand how absurd that is, if you play regularly. This app (not game), is designed to give you ALMOST
I spend so much money and the game keep freeze on 99 and not letting me play it
I love the game, THEY HAVE DESTROYED MADDEN MOBILE! HOW CAN A PLAYER THAT WAS A 700 NOW BE 128 & 400 PLAYER IS NOW 117 ? WHY DID YOU DO THAT! PEOPLE SPENT MONEY OR PLAYED HARD AND LONG TO RANK UP THERE PLAYERS AND TEAM! NOW ALL TEAMS ARE LOWERED FOR WHAT? THIS GETS -000 STARS! PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO MESS A GOOD THING UP! SORRY JOHN MADDEN I KNOW YOU'RE LOOKING DOWN PISSED OFF May 2nd, I'VE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR YEARS THE APP CRASHES EVERY TIME IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GET REWARDS! FEEL DISRESPECTED
keeps downgrading
Uninstalled, this game is a joke stats over 99 doesn't make sense just a money grab, every single promo is copy paste, then you get TTP reset every month tell me what's the point? like a mouse running it's wheel
add back the auction house and set the player overalls back to a maximum of ~99
played games for two days,was playing just got cut off 🥺🤔🤔🤔🤨🤨
Great graphics and playability. However the game is set up to cheat you with low power cpu teams easily crushing your higher power more skilled offense. league vs league mode is 100% rigged to make you lose in situations where you should never lose. No one likes a cheater Madden26 I will never spend another dime in this game.
The mechanics are absolutely horrid. You either hit stick, or miss every tackle and give up 20 yards. Its immensely unrealistic, there are zero fouls and the best receivers can't catch if their life depended on it. Its a great concept, they just need to upgrade the games performance and fix it in general.
