Madden NFL 20 Reviews
I'm having a lot of fun with Madden 20, and readily admit it is improved from last year's game, which I didn't hate. However, my fun is regularly curtailed by an inexplicable limitation in almost every mode. Madden 20 gets a lot more right than it gets wrong, but it still won't let itself be great.
When everything goes smoothly, Madden 20 is one of the best-playing football games of the generation. Things don't always go smoothly.
Madden 20 has a lot to offer gameplay wise. The game itself looks and plays the best it ever has. The presentation and commentary of the game is comparable to real NFL games, from the announce team to the halftime show. The only real problem with the gameplay is the occasional animation whiff. The game modes are lacking though; while fun, there are only three of them, which would be fine if they were jam packed with a variety of things to do.
Just like skipping out on watching the Pro Bowl, you’re not missing out on all that much.
Madden NFL 20 doesn't reinvent the wheel, but the X-factor and Superstar system, combined with Face of the Franchise and a number of smart additions to Franchise and Ultimate Team make it a winner, despite its ongoing bugs and glitches.
While many of the annoying glitches and wonky AI will hopefully get patched out of Madden NFL 20 there still isn’t a good reason to recommend it if you have purchased any recent years of the game.
Madden NFL 20 updates and adds some interesting attributes to its football structure. It polishes up the story mode and gives it focus while maintaining the entertainment value of the series steadily. It needed a bit more with regard to content, but what it has is still good.
