Madden 21 came out on Friday and user reviews are not good for this year’s edition of the stored football video game.
While media reviews have been received by the media, the user score for the game is very low on Metacritic.
The fact that this is not only the lowest rating in the history of Madden, but the lowest rating in the history of the Metacritic really shows something.#NFLDPEA pic.twitter.com/rsBr9X6qaq

Unfortunately for fans of the game, the NFL has recently expanded their exclusive deal with EA Sports to the gambler’s publisher to see if it makes football games for the foreseeable future.
Via ESPN
The Madden franchise will be part of the gaming universe for at least the next six years.
The NFL owners on Thursday approved the expansion of their deal with Electronic Arts, continuing a relationship that has existed for 30 years. It was also recently approved by the NFL Players Association.
The current contract was to expire after the 2021 season. The extension means that EA Sports will become the exclusive publisher of the league’s football simulation games by 2026.
Following the release of the latest disappointing Madden game, fans are asking the NFL to reconsider their business relationship with EA Sports. .

Currently #NFLDropEA There is a top trend.
Fans have kept up with the chisel quality of that EA Madden franchise that is ultimately appearing in both user and critical reviews.
EA’s Madden NFL 21 is one of the worst reviewed games of the year. https://t.co/Po4UJ07HwR

# 3 is the US trend #NFLDropEA
That is a difficult reality @EAMaddenNFL Need to accept, but it’s much worse than reality @NFL Fans have to accept that @EA Despite paying 1. 6.6 billion to be the only company legally allowed to do so, the simulation has left the football game. pic.twitter.com/MTbNy7psr4

@EAMaddenNFL You didn’t hear us when we asked for simplicity #FixMaddenF franchise
Now we ask @NFL
And @NFLPA Proceed with her fans and #NFLDropEAEA clearly does not want to create a quality game with the brand and market competition is necessary!

#nfldropea As a fan of Madden I have to say @NFL Please leave a special license. Not only is the game a good representation of what it looks like on Sunday, it also hurts your brand because it looks like you care about the money accumulated over time.

#nfldropea@NFL, Maiden is completely turned on https://t.co/3Oa1muDOUp It must work now before any legitimacy you have in the video game market is lost.

I agree that the NFL needs to leave the EA. If 2K had the right to produce NFL simulation games, things would be a lot different. NFL 2 or 5 is still one of the best games in today’s football. It is a criminal offense to allow the EA to have a monopoly on NFL simulation games. They don’t care. #NFLDPEA

When there is a compulsion to block his own player around the receiver when he should run forward to block that this simulation is not football. #NFLDROPEA #FixMadden21 #FixMaddenF franchise pic.twitter.com/s1vYuDMBhz
