Madden Mobile 21 Review

I have been playing madden mobile since madden mobile 15 and I am ready to give my honest and full review of madden mobile 21 so far.

CURRENCIES- I struggle to understand why more currencies were added to the game when everyone in the community explicitly said we do not want more currencies. Adding emblems to badges is just a useless step and using gridiron dust to also create badges and other items causes confusion while simply being absurd. Simply give the badges from live events instead of giving emblems and gridiron dust. Currencies 5/10

LEAGUES- Leagues have only taken a downturn since madden mobile 18, back when unique players were given out for playing league vs league. League mates could send packs to you which would simply be enough to make someone's day. The league store is only good for gems, that is it. Bring back gifting in leagues and actually reward players by giving players and packs. Watch and learn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEbJmAn_HlI. Leagues 1/10

PROMOS- Promos used to be simple yet creative. Set requirements are insane! 10 78+, 10 ectoplasms, and 4 specific 85+ for a 89!? Promos are also literally copy and paste. I actually liked the format of the promos in FOF but that doesn't mean I want to see the same thing 3 weeks in a row. Now you have to pay madden cash to actually do well in promos. EDIT: 500 3 keys for 500 program stamina is great and spirit chain is daily. Most feared is the best promo so far. Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLIMU_Dz_0M. Promos 7/10

PACKS- Packs this year are honestly the worst ever, even madden overdrive had better packs. 10,000 coins for 4 silvers!? that is crazy! The only COIN pack that is worth it is the TOTW pack. Struggle to understand how any thought was actually put in to this. Most packs used to be purchased with coins which was f2p friendly. Open all is the only good thing about packs. Here is context- mm16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc-0aUn7XFU. Madden mobile 21- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTPy7lx05l4 This was bought with 90,000 MC btw. Packs 0/10

SETS- Already covered how sets have crazy requirments but the lack of diversity is even more disturbing. Any og's remember the wheel of madden cash? Speaking of sets why not bring back trophies? No not the p2w trophies but the real trophies which you get from exchanging players and can be used in sets, adding to creativity without having absurd requirements. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aM7bpjuT-I. Sets 3/10

AUCTION HOUSE- Still bot controlled. I get that the auction house needs to be controlled somehow but letting Scot the Bot ruin it doesn't solve anything. Bring back the player to player auction house.

GAME PLAY- sure game play better but is still a glitch fest. The simple graphics of madden mobile 16 was more bearable than this glitch galore. Game play 5/10

GLITCHES- do I even need to explain. There has been some big glitch in like every promo. -10/10

LIVE EVENTS- The auto button in nice but the events don't really pay out. Also the stamina cost is surreal given most of us have 200 promo stamina. Events 6.5/10

MASTER SERIES- I like the concept, but is not executed really well. There are still time locks despite community resistance. Also the "backbone of the game" shouldn't be released once a month. The next master series is essentially useless. Master series- 7/10

THE YARD- This is where you devote your resources? Spend your resources trying to improve the game. The Yard- 4/10

COMPETITIVE- There is literally no point is playing arena apart for gems. What happened to competitive sets? Where are the weekend tournaments we were promised? 2/10

CARD ART- card art looks fire tbh. 10/10

BOOSTS- I don't understand the boosts this year. They don't even show up on the cards which is ridiculous. Its been done before, bring back on card boosts (another simple touch which adds to the creative bubble). boosts 2.5/10

POWER- no one wants it, no one asked for it, EA certainly failed by bringing it back. doesn't even deserve a rating

FIELD PASSES- literally copy and paste and is the definition of pay to win. I mean the differences are appalling to the f2p player. 3/10

Madden mobile 16 was the best selling app in the app store at one point. Some even call it the best mobile app ever. Now madden mobile has well under 1 million. Views on madden mobile youtube channels can prove this as well. I could easily type more about madden mobile 21 but my hands are cramping up. Expect me to post more as the season progresses. Feel free to add to this. Also try and get this post to an EA employee via discord or/and reddit.(communication is bad this year as well)
