There hasn't been a Madden game on Nintendo in a very long time, and while this game looks nice on the box art, and it does look pretty good, the idea to make it run at 30fps to make the box graphics looks good is ridiculous. The game is very laggy if you're used to playing this on any other platform, including playing it on a handheld on the Asus Ally. If EA had simply lowered the graphics settings, or gave a performance option, this wouldn't be an issue, but it completely changes the way the game feels as everything is so laggy you have to constantly hit the buttons for everything sooner than you do on anything other platform, completely ruining the timing. If you haven't played a Madden game in 10-15 years, then maybe it won't be an issue, but it is an issue.
The other inexcusable issue is the lack of giving the user an option to use non-Nintendo button layout. Again, if you're coming from any other platform, you're used to playing the game a certain way, and because of the stupid button layout Nintendo uses, flipping the buttons backwards, everything gets screwed up. You want to throw to the open guy, who has a B above his head, oh right, you have to throw to A, or wait, no, yes, that's it. But also, want to throw to Y, well that's backwards too. There is no reason they couldn't have a toggle that just says use a different layout, or let you label everything yourself. This is the true game breaker. Been playing on XBOX and/or PC since 2001 - and it's impossible to flip your brain around to ignore your muscle memory, and it could have been easily remedied. Not sure if EA or Nintendo is at fault, but it's inexcusable.
They could easily fix the two things above with a patch, but you know they won't do it since they want to sell you the fixed version next year as a new game. Skip this version unless you've never played a Madden game before or you haven't played one since the Wii U days.

Pretty solid port of Madden for the Switch 2. Only downside is that they seem to have locked this to 30fps when it can go well beyond that. It’s Madden, you kinda know what to expect

I haven't owned or played a game in over 10 years and this one is really good. The graphics look real. My wife thought I was watching a football game on my NS2. Overall I was say 8.5 out of 10.

Game is quickly downloaded on switch 2 and there are very minimal lags in this game. Graphics are good enough for a switch, but I’d say that the gameplay is hard to quickly master as handled-mode. This is definitely a game to be played on big screen.

It has great graphics but the announcers seem to be a few seconds behind the actual outcome of a play. It is annoying at times. I hope they can fix this issue with an update.
