TSA writes: "Just as managers, coaches and fantasy football players alike begin scrutinising their team sheets, and wonder whether there’s enough depth to their squads to make it to the very top, the arrival of a new Madden heralds the coming of a new NFL season. Every year EA Tiburon make their own roster changes, letting some elements go – see you later Longshot – while the elite superstar money-maker of Madden Ultimate Team grows ever more integral and annoying. It’s the Tom Brady of game modes. Still, if you’re a committed fan the excitement of the new season will almost certainly bubble over into buying another year’s outing, and like Blake Bortles, Madden NFL 20 will just about justify itself."
Mixed reviews from critics do not seem to be dampening enthusiasm for Madden NFL 21. The game’s sell-through is up nearly 20 percent year-over-year in its first week compared to Madden NFL 20.
Of course not. They’ve turned the game into a gambling simulator because they know people get hooked. It’s a debilitating addiction and they should be ashamed.
Sadly, people still buy casino simulator "games" apparently. Covid probably helped up those sales too.
I assume the reason for this is because EA gave out several free versions of the game.
you do know companies can buy their own product? It happens all the time. so these sales could be attributed to EA buying their own product and distributing to people that have complained or requested a refund. I have seen several tweets where people asked for refunds and EA gave them the refund and a code to get the game for free. So this has nothing to do with 'how many people are playing'.
wasn't it free on EA access for like 10hrs plus they give out doznes of free copies daily.
it's not talking about people playing, it's talking about people who bought it.
These are the hours played stats not sold copies. It says here 21 sold worse. EA just trying to cover it up. The brand not growing. It sells the same amount of copies to the same casuals.
