EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 27

thank goodness i bought ea pass and trial ran this game, if I spent 70+ dollars on this game i would be so upset. i play offline franchise mode and the only reason i got the game was because ea sold us on franchise improvements. so i started there, made my created character, played my first preseason game, was the same experience we have all had in madden for a couple decades. then i played superstar mode just to see if that mode had gotten any better. probly the worst superstar mode has ever been, no immersion at all. so i went back to my offline franchise mode just to see my character i had created was gone. my first preseason game had still been played, stats for everyone were still there, but my character was gone. i was going to start a new franchise but decided to write this negative review instead, and i still have 8 hours to play before the trial ends. this is the worst madden has ever been. do not buy. less than 1 star. useless year of madden. useless developers, usless leadership by ea. stop making games. youre fired.

I'm not sure what game others are playing - but this is the best Madden in a few years. Some sliders will need balancing, like wear and tear, but otherwise this goes a lot deeper and feels the most natural. No issues with controllers, or stuttering, or crashing or anything. I feel like these days, you can't really get away with having anything older than a 300x card .... sadly, the way it is.

The graphics and game mechanics are better than last year's. But the grind and extreme microtransactions remain the same.

So i got this game with college football 27 and its been over 5 years since i played the last madden and i think its really good maybe even my favorite madden i've ever played. now im sure a few people will say its a copy and past from the last year but i couldn't disagree more 100% worth every penny same with college football 27 100% would recommend

welp yet another sh*tsandwich from out of touch EA execs that think they deserve pat mahomes money for forcing us to buy slop like this if we want a pro NFL gaming experience. audio stutters unbearably for me. tried everything to fix it, meet all PC reqs. not surprised, how many years of this nonsense now? asked for refund. what a waste of my time. donkeys.

Don't waste your money. This ♥♥♥♥ is terribly unplayable now.

Currently, Madden 27 is not competitively playable in its current state, and I’m not saying that simply to complain. I genuinely want to like the game, especially since it is essentially the only real option available for an NFL simulation experience. The Wear & Tear system is far too aggressive, with players becoming severely affected or being taken out of games after only a few hits. On defense, power moves, finesse moves, and even basic block disengagement do not work at all. This happens during both games and practices, making it feel like a fundamental gameplay problem rather than something caused by ratings, matchups, or fatigue. These are not minor balance issues. They directly affect whether the game can be played fairly and competitively. When core defensive mechanics do not function properly and the Wear & Tear system can drastically alter a game after only a handful of plays, the result is an experience that simply is not competitively viable. I played one game where the first and second string QB were taken out, then the kicker, and the punter was playing QB. I want Madden 27 to be good, but in its current state, it is difficult to understand how these issues made it through play-testing. EA needs to address them quickly, because the foundation may be there, but the game as it currently plays is not ready for competitive play. Update: 8/21/2026 - I am just going to stop playing the game. I played through my first season in franchise mode and imported a rooking class. All the rookies were messed up. All were number 11, none of them matched their models. This is just a shame. Same bugs year after year. I will not be buying Madden again. I will just wait for NBA 2K and that will be the sports game I sink my time into. Enough is enough with the same bugs year after year.
