Madden 27 takes the Lambeau Leap into its best version yet. Wonderful new gameplay additions, stunning new presentation, and a tighter experience make this an absolute winner.

By comfortably but robustly reinforcing everything it had already established in its previous installments - including game modes, graphics, gameplay, and business model - Madden NFL 27 takes few risks and embraces the maxim that you don't mess (at least, not much) with a winning team.

After playing both CF27 and Madden27. I can honestly say they have done an amazing job of capturing both football environments. CFB27 feels like the college game (Heisman mode) and Madden feels like pro football (all Madden). They speed, style of play, size of players, presentation, and game play is spot on for each. College is slower and more individual playmaking and Madden is speed and system oriented. Keep it up EA! Well done!! The best part is no slider adjustments needed. That is a first :)

I started playing Madden in 26, and I thought, like with soccer, which I've played for 15 years, there would just be a slight improvement year on year. Man, was I mistaken. The franchise is a different game, and it is so much better.- The menus are smoother.- It's much more explanatory.- You really have a team of people you can delegate jobs to, like delegating tasks to Claude Code, in the same way you can delegate stuff to your coaches.- The negotiations are fun, with real personalities involved and lots of options.- When you put players up for trade, in Madden 26, you often get multiple bids, and they're decent, meaning there are pros and cons for choosing each one. It's not a whole lot of bad bids, and it's not a whole lot of ridiculous-to-good bids. They're really balanced.- The play is smoother.- It takes more skill to play this year.- The graphics have improved a little bit, but not much. The movement is smoother. The main thing is the franchise. It is so much better than it was before. Well done. I really just hope for soccer, for FC, they can make such a dramatic improvement.

This year’s Madden NFL release is solid for the most part. I think it’s an improvement from last year’s game. Madden NFL 27 has on-field tweaks that improve gameplay, mostly solid modes, and better stability. A questionably unsteady kicking game and a required EA online connection with Superstar mode keep this from being great.

What could have been the best Madden of this generation, and possibly in twenty years, is held back by a ton of bugs and logic issues. Franchise Mode is finally something everyone wanted years ago. The gameplay updates are meaningful and provide a new feeling for playing all three facets of the game. Superstar Mode is hiding its microtransaction desires, but its fun mode with the new positions. The visuals look great, and the soundtrack is GOAT status. The issues with gameplay bugs and mode-specific bugs not only hold the game back, but literally send it back years. When comparing just how good College Football 27 played, there are so many issues in a game that is supposed to share the same core elements. Madden NFL 27 can be extremely fun, but it's on a moment by moment basis.

Did Madden 27 change in the ways that matter most? I guess it depends on who you ask. If you’re looking for the next generation of Madden’s on-field action, you might as well pound sand. This isn’t to say I didn’t have fun with it; it’s just a very typical, buggy, EA Sports Madden experience. But, I gotta say, the Franchise and Superstar modes have both seen a ton of improvements that have me coming back for more. Madden keeps trending in the right direction, slowly but surely. It’s getting to a better place. It just hasn’t arrived yet.

Those fiending for the start of the NFL season will enjoy Madden NFL 27, but this title can still use a few patches to iron out its issues.

Adding features to a game is about more than simply making it different from last year; it should be about tweaking and improving upon previous years’ entries with the aim toward creating an unmissable experience. In Madden NFL 27, that can happen on the field itself via gameplay, but when it comes to being the coach/GM of a team or its superstar, it doesn’t fully deliver.

I love madden always have always will and this madden is the most madden madden if that makes sense its just the madden charm but stepped up from 26 This game is harder because of the realistic defense they automatically break up passes like they do irl

I am normally a HUGE hater of Madden, and I will likely come back to update this rating at some point, but I wanted to say something... Thank GOD they FINALLY did something about the menu screens by making them move more quickly. This is such a MAJOR PAIN if you plan on playing for a long time. This alone shows they are finally listening somewhat. No one wants to wait for stupid animations between screens. THANK YOU!!!

Longstanding bugs, a marketed "looking for work" feature that solves nothing about the busted AI, and some absurd rubberbanding and head scratching AI actions on the field culminate into one of the most iterative and lifeless editions of Madden yet. Can we PLEASE. Please. End the exclusivity. This is so out of hand that we're nearly 2 decades into having the merger of our two favorite hobbies in shambles.
