Ratings don't really mean anything on higher difficulties because an 86/84 speed/accel receiver will somehow burn a 95/92 db with 96 coverage by 8+yards EVERY PLAY. No post game player stats; not even basic ones like completions, rushing yards, receptions, receiving yards, tackles, etc. No My Player mode just 6 "different" (but essentially the same, just different schedules, wow amazing!) franchise modes. Good thing this is free on Apple Arcade cause thats about as much as it's worth. ### 4/5 — The Qourters *2026-09-02, version 27.0.3* In my opinion the courters are to short. ### 2/5 — Team Uniforms *2026-09-01, version 27.0.3* I’m not understanding WHY you cannot change team uniforms. On the mobile version you can but on arcade you cannot. SMH ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2026-08-30, version 27.0.3* Its great to have this option. There are many faults to this game. First, the controls are bad (I haven’t tried it with a controller). The passing, and pass rushing aspects are pretty bad. I haven’t tried passing to certain players only to have it go way off line. The passing rush aspect is non existent. Second, the game views leave a lot to be desired. I miss the overhead angle. Third, not much can be done on being a GM etc. its just pretty bland. ### 3/5 — Madden *2026-08-28, version 27.0.3* It’s pretty good but it’s not realistic at all ### 3/5 — Lack of attention *2026-08-26, version 27.0.2* Game is decent, just like every other mobile madden. Just a bit sloppy, playing against teams from the wrong conference, settings reset every day, stuff like that ### 3/5 — Play game *2026-08-26, version 27.0.2* It’s good, but could have a better controls took me a long time to figure out ### 3/5 — No trades in franchise or FA. Every player has the same no accessories look. If cod can EA can *2026-08-26, version 27.0.2* The detail can definitely be there but EA is lazy this claimed can be so much better. ### 4/5 — Love it *2026-08-25, version 27.0.2* Best Madden mobile yet totally worth it ### 5/5 — Music *2026-08-25, version 27.0.2* more kid friendly music please ### 5/5 — So good but *2026-08-25, version 27.0.2* It needs broad casting ### 5/5 — Perfect game it’s better than the other version *2026-08-25, version 27.0.2* The only problem is we don’t get jersey options that a be great to have & weather options would be great too. Everything else is great. ### 5/5 — Backbone gameplay *2026-08-24, version 27.0.2* This is really cool would love to be able to change the weather other than that cool ### 3/5 — Needs more to be unique *2026-08-24, version 27.0.2* The game is essentially a copy-and-paste of Madden Mobile’s Season Mode. I do enjoy the draft aspect, but I think the game needs more unique features to separate itself. One feature that would make the game much more interesting is end-of-season awards, such as MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and Comeback Player of the Year. These awards could even impact player progression. Another great addition would be a play-through-injury system. For example, if your quarterback tweaks his hamstring, you could choose to sit him for a few weeks or risk playing him while his stats are temporarily decreased. Playing through the injury could also carry the risk of making it worse and potentially ending his season. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pants *2026-09-01, version 27.0.3* Why have franchise mode? No trades or free agency. No draft? Not FRANCHISE MODE! We’ve had it sense 2000. Come on man! Gam is unplayable. ### 1/5 — Sincere *2026-08-31, version 27.0.3* Thomas ### 1/5 — Effort *2026-08-31, version 27.0.3* It seems as if you guys were upset when you made this game wow. This is for Apple Arcade and have should have been taken seriously. This is a HUGE opportunity for EA to embark on Apples platform but ok. ### 1/5 — Horrible defense and offensive *2026-08-29, version 27.0.3* Horrible defense and offensive i could make a play and get the wide receiver to get 20+ for him still jot catch it wide open burnign the opponent second the defense is terrible if you are guarding it is INCREDIBLY HARD to catch a interception because if the qb passes to who you are guarding unlike offense u do not get a catch window or nothing to even try and contest ### 1/5 — Unplayable on Apple TV *2026-08-29, version 27.0.3* Using a steelseries nimbus controller it just constantly scrolls and the game is unplayable ### 1/5 — SINGLE player only *2026-08-24, version 27.0.2* Why? ### 1/5 — Unsatisfying *2026-08-20, version 27.0.2* Graphics are utterly low on Mac. ### 1/5 — Madden? Yikes… *2026-08-20* No create a player, no actual trades, no dynasty….no stats? No league leaders? GM? What’s that mean. You can’t make any decisions. Everything‘s already set up for you. I can’t believe EA sports allowed this to be released. John Madden’s rolling over in his grave. This isn’t Madden, it’s barely a late 90’s generic football game, yet somehow it’s worse. The best thing? It literally couldn’t be any worse…back to NBA26K despite hating the NBA. That’s what I expected this be comparable to…not even close. So disappointing… ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2026-08-19, version 27.0.2* When I open it on an iPad, I get a black screen and nothing else. I tried deleting and reinstalling but same thing ### 1/5 — Decepção *2026-08-18* Jogo não tem o melhor do arcade, que é o modo carreira. Tinha tudo pra ser um jogo espetacular mais decepcionou ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yeah *2026-09-02, version 27.0.3* Is the best mobile game I’ve ever played. I played on controller too. It’s so fun. ### 5/5 — Noah’s favorite game *2026-09-01, version 27.0.3* Best game I’ve ever played ### 5/5 — Best *2026-08-31, version 27.0.3* Best game ever ### 5/5 — Nfl26 worst madden game *2026-08-30, version 27.0.3* Madden 27 biggest upgrade from the 26 version which is the worst one yet ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-30, version 27.0.3* Enjoy play ### 5/5 — Love this game and the graphics are amazing but there’s one thing that would make the game better *2026-08-29, version 27.0.3* Please add the Broadcast (sideways) camera mode back into the game please because I remember playing Madden back in the day and I changed the camera mode to Broadcast and I loved the way the game was played with that camera angle, whenever playing offense/defense/kicking fieldgoals/special teams plays. It would be so awesome if you guys could bring that back that would make the game so much more fun! I’m a HUGE Madden Fan! I’ve been playing Madden since ‘98 and have seen so many amazing upgrades since then. ### 5/5 — Andrew’s rizz *2026-08-28, version 27.0.3* Aura ### 5/5 — Quality *2026-08-28, version 27.0.3* This is one of the best quality games I’ve ever played. Awesome touchdowns cool just cool. Everything like this is just the best Madden game ever. Also shout to the Seahawks and Eagles. ### 5/5 — Better overall gameplay *2026-08-27, version 27.0.3* It gives you a lot more options in regards to what type of season you want to play. It also has better controller options. Overall a great game. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-27, version 27.0.3* The best part of the game is being able to use a Bluetooth remote. The game works just like if you where playing on a console --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
