Ridiculous
Can’t play because of stupid update
EA are the worst money grabbers in the game
EA uses psychological manipulation to get guys addicted. Then they will frustrate and annoy users in an attempt to provoke impulse buying. The dropped passes, auto passes, no blocking, defensive players flying across the field for an int. These are some of their dirty tricks. This year should be the end of madden and EA. Aren’t they smart enough to understand that this is trashing the reputation of their entire company?
The guys at EA will continue to abuse its users as long as they fork over the dollars. The madden mobile product gets worse every year because their customers continue spending way too much on a mobile game. They treat thier top players like fools. The ranking are a complete fraud with EA cheating like this. You really can’t use strong enough words to say how awful the people running this company are.

Bring Season Mode BACK!!!
Please EA allow the option to play season mode with your ultimate team! The current version is pointless & boring….completing challenges is not entertaining. Real Madden fans would rather play an entire season over kicking Field goals or passing for 20 yards to receive rewards! Smh
Awful
This game has shown me it’s all pay to win. throwing/catching is so horrendous. needs better game mechanics, but we all know that won’t happen. Won’t play again.
Glitchy
The guy is wide open, and somehow the right side left side come in and intercept the ball. Even if you’re playing online, some hard another if you’re beating the online person you lose because I think you’re cheating duck this life of this app
Hero’s and passing game
# ;# #!!!! This game is so jacked up!!! Bo is now at FB A Hero that is terrible !!!! He can’t out run anyone he gets knocked backwards he has no spin moves He’s worthless . I have 174 Faulk who’s better. UGH! Receivers are dropping the ball. I bought almost every trait pass and have Mystic Sure Hands will have a second and still uncontested that are easy catches drops. Ugh Ledt Pass Button !!!!!!!!! Ugh! is slow can’t out run anyone can’t break any tackles I guess Hero is just a name FB are blocking way down field and miss blocks in front of them Receivers drop balls too often Top receivers dropping balls. Receivers can’t be controlled to consistently Jump or move towards the ball. Dbs always jump and cut for the ball while receivers just keep running and do Not even try for the ball. I place my finger on the receivers circle even layer my phone on the table and ball goes to whet my finger isn’t.! This game is terrible because it doesn’t work. So very frustrating that this game first time in a long time was a 10.Very generous with everything. Then all of a sudden the passing game change to aggressively. I was still able to pass because I have played this game from day one! But when you have no control where the ball is going ! When the ball just gets passes by the left pass button on right hand settings ! When wide open receivers drop the ball with Sure Hands Mystic Traits . This game is terrible because it because it doesn’t work !!! Please fix this other wise ita a waste of time and money!!!
I WOULD RATE THIS 0 STARS NO EFFORT PUT INTO THIS GAME
This game is the same thing every year graphics still suck in the season mode you can’t even play full games instead you have to do easy missions and I don’t even know how to increase the difficulty! This game should not exist just play nfl rivals
Bad!!!!!!!
I am throwing the ball and it’s not throwing the ball. And you expect everyone to be a pay to win no one is going to get to 6,006 overall
Horrible game
Why does it redirect my character so they can score why can the break all the tackles but my character can’t even break one tackle and why do yall make it to where can’t customize a single thing in the career mode I want to 90 to 1 these bots instead of it being some even game and If I could go even less stars I would give it a negative 5 and make it to where we don’t have to go against 5,300 level people when we are only like 4,000 like fix your game and stop making horrible updates hire some new people you idiots
GLOVES GLOVES GLOVES
Not playing until the players have gloves again smh. Look good , feel good, play good. It’s Been nearly 10! years now, why take something good out of the game. PLEASE BRING BACK THE GLOVES, other than that the game used to be good
Horrible game
Simply horrible money seeking game.
So confused
Is there any way someone can actually respond to me this time. I really enjoyed playing this game the first season. But after the first season, with some of the best players in the league that I am offered, none of the plays pan out. It’s as if I have high school experience players playing pros. I have had this issue in the past with previous phones, left reviews but never received an explanation. I play on Xbox, and PlayStation and don’t have these issues. Only on mobile. I really don’t wish to delete the app, like I have in the past, but having a team with a very high ovr, and not being able to make a decent play, there is obviously a glitch in the system. Can I please get an answer from someone of Madden?
Don’t bother
Graphics are terrible, pay to win, limited seasons mode
Bad game
So many glitches and bugs, no 2 minute warning or penalties, and u can sack the qb insantly every play. No effort put into franchise mode
Don’t waste your time
Will not even load once I start a game it gets stuck at 99% when loading
Why is everyone 100 overall
My starting team is 3000 overall like what
Mini games
Its nothing but mini games and practices its been the same mini games at that for years now whats the point of building a team if you can’t even win a Super Bowl with the team you build im building a team for higher overall mini games/practices
Madden
Bring bank old Madden
To many ads
Game used to be good but now you get an ad every 30 seconds I opened the app and was given an ad
If you have anger issues then don’t play this game the faces don’t even look like the players
0/10
No Fun
If you want to play season mode you can’t use the team you’ve worked so hard to build. what’s the point if you can’t even play a normal game l?
Hate the game
My old account had stuff I didn’t delete logged back on expecting for me to use my old account like I was able to before but no cause you’re stupid update. give me the touchdown it was in his hands, thinking you never catch the ball even though I’m getting new players that are said to be better they’re just trash. This game is a whole load of corporate trash that you need a lot of money to have good players and you should never download it. The only reason it was made is for a cash grab. You can barely do anything. The game is even hard to play and you get bored in minutes. Corporate
needs to either fix the game or just stop letting people download it once and for all and refund all the money that they’ve took from people. And all these updates are doing nothing to make the graphics look better.

Game sucks
You can’t trade in franchise mode and graphics suck.
Nothings changed in this life and I’m just here now and
Madden is not as accurate as the Madden on the Ps5 cause I am playing on my IPad
Developers please read
Your app is not bad. But also not good. How do I even play a full game? Also your game is super p2w the mobile app is trash. I’m so sorry. I’m going to get the console edition it’s a simulation and probably better. Please read this. And tell me how to play a full game.
Terrible glitches
This game is so glitched you can literally see players tackling their own teammates. Plus if you pay close attention, if you’re getting the best of someone with high levels and skill, then the game will start glitching immediately.
Ai to good
BRO I AM GOOD AND YOUR TELLING ME AI CATCHES EVERYTHING
Fix. The. Game.
I’m only going to say this once. For some reason in franchise mode when I’m playing games, the game crashes 5 to 6 times a game. And also, the faces in the game look horrible!! The faces have been like that since I was playing (and I’ve been playing for 5 years). EA hasn’t put any effort into this game or madden on console since I was playing.
Madden VS
The game is acctually pretty fun but there is a big problem, madden vs is what used to be my favorite mode in the game, but for some reason im always players players with 800-1200 more power than me. Its hard to enjoy when im constantly playing people with much better teams then me, for example: im a 3500 power team, but im always playing people with 4200-4800. There should be groups based off power like 3300-3800.
Madden Review
This game is unrealistic. I throw 4 interceptions in season on easy mode. Game sucks.
