IGN: 6/10 https://www.ign.com/articles/madden-nfl-21-review

Pretty cool to see a major reviewer like IGN actually giving a legit score rather than tossing up an 8+ like they typically do. Also good to see them highlighting the major performance issues the game is having.

An IGN 6 is a like a 4 from a reputable reviewer.

Do they call it “a step in the right direction” like they usually do?

That seems like a nice rating, 5-6 is what i would give it. Before any updates will happen i will say most of the game is the same as last year. I do like some of the new animations, especially the tackling animations. But overall most of it is the same to me (franchise wise)

Worth pointing out that it's still a review in progress and score isn't final.

That said, it's amusing to me that some people look down at IGN as if reviews aren't always just a single opinion from one of their writers. There isn't really any pure 100% objective reviewer out there (other than listing features and modes), because we are all going to have biases and preferences. What person A might find feature X enjoyable, doesn't mean that person B is going to necessarily feel the same. That logic can extend towards an entire written review...

Their opinions are just as valid as someone in here or from some random site.

How do you define a "reputable" reviewer?

They deserve lower though this is the lowest score I've seen given to them. Glad franchise and a low score are being called out. Seems like piling on EA and keeping pressure on them is the only hope for improving the game.

I'm not really a fan of the madden series these days. Gameplay is always about the same. There seems to be no authenticity and its more arcade than sim. I'd play it to kill some time but there should be a good change to the franchise. EA is smart though. By the licensing and kill the competition lol. NBA live would be around if they could pull that same move

just love gaming
