Madden NFL 20 Reviews
Madden games on both the PS4 and Xbox One have been a boring digital microtransaction slog. There is more information than ever on the screen and depending on your preference it can either be informative or overwhelming.
Madden NFL 20's major new features are good on their own, but they are even better as a foundation for the years to come.
The twilight of a video game generation tends to produce the most well-regarded and fondly-remembered editions of sports games. While it does not appear "Madden NFL 20" will stand among those past greats, a more defined attempt at providing gameplay authenticity bodes well for the future of the series.
Sure, the Pro Bowl is sort of a weird and pointless area of emphasis, but Madden NFL 20 provides one of the most entertaining and polished sports experiences available.
Whatever your stance on the current state of the Madden franchise is, it will either get a lot better or a lot worse with Madden NFL 20.
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.
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.
Madden NFL 20's Ultimate Team and Franchise modes are superb, but the career mode misses the mark.
Overall the game is great to play with some improvements on last year's iteration.
Madden 20 does very little in this year's game to impress, but it doesn't do anything that truly disappoints. What it offers is a competent and refined football experience with a stellar presentation and plenty of modes to play.
Madden NFL 20 is a great American Football game, and whilst it's better than last year, some of the mainstay modes could do with an overhaul.
Madden 20 is back. As every summer, football fans have the opportunity of enjoying their favorite sport in a virtual way. In this case, EA brings us an iteration which has enough new additions to keep us playing for several hours. In the bad side, we will miss some important modes as Longhorn and more news in franchise mode.

Madden 20 provides another year's worth of well-crafted gridiron action. It's a shame to say goodbye to Devin Wade and the Longshot narrative, but QB1 does a decent enough - if short - job of framing your own rise to fame. The rest of the package is as slick and smooth as you'd hope. Should you upgrade? If you're an avid fan, you probably already have. For everyone else, both Madden 18 and 19 still play a fantastic game of football.
Madden 20's new story mode is a disappointment, but the on-field action is better than it's ever been.
Madden NFL 20 clears the roster and properly initiates the rebuilding phase for football's first franchise.
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.
Madden NFL 20's new superstar players and control refinements make its moment-to-moment gameplay the best the series has seen this console generation, but areas like Franchise have been left behind.
Madden NFL 20 have improved almost in every aspect. The core gameplay is still very good and changelling, maybe even too much.

Madden NFL 20 has great improvements and the introduction of new features that more than justify this new installment of the series. Ultimate Team continues to be one of the best of its kind and the inclusion of X-Factors makes the matches better than never.

However it got here, it’s a distilled, slightly faster game that focuses on ironing out its rough spots rather than introducing anything that could cause new ones.
