If you spend a lot of time playing against the CPU, you’re going to run all over them. I imagine the run game will become more balanced post-launch, but as of now, if you spend a lot of time playing against the CPU, you’re going to run all over them. I noticed no changes in my yards-per-carry average between difficulty levels. But after finding far too much success, I bypassed All-Pro and went straight for All-Madden.

In fact, I normally play on Pro or All-Pro difficulty. I mention the difficulty not because I’m an amazing Madden player. Playing as Baker Mayfield, who isn’t particularly speedy, I can scramble out of the pocket and regularly run for 15 to 20 yards - also on All-Madden difficulty. The same goes for inside runs and scrambling with the QB. I can run four tosses to either side of the field in a row and gain significant positive yardage on at least three of them. At first, I was overjoyed to find so many open lanes. The running game has been an uphill battle in Madden for years, so it’s surprising to see this major turn. The last time I ran for so many long touchdowns in Madden, I was playing as Madden NFL 2004 cover athlete Michael Vick, who was basically the embodiment of a cheat code. I’ve lost track of how many 50-plus yard touchdowns I’ve scored that started with outside pitches. Even when playing on All-Madden difficulty, my Browns running back tandem of Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb averaged north of 10 yards per carry. The run game, which has traditionally been a bit too strenuous, has burst wide open in Madden NFL 20, swinging the pendulum completely the other way. And unlike a trip through the sewer, my running backs would have pristine jerseys when crossing the goal line for a long touchdown. John Madden once said that “the road to Easy Street goes through the sewer.” Well, in Madden NFL 20, Easy Street is apparently anywhere on the field for a star running back. In 1995, Total! ranked the game 22nd on their Top 100 SNES Games. In 2012, Madden NFL '95 was listed on Time's All-TIME 100 greatest video games list.

However, he concluded that despite being "the best football game available for the Game Gear", it is not a worthwhile purchase due to the tiny, squint-inducing graphics and lack of multiplayer. He concluded "While football on handhelds will probably never take off, this one's still a worthy effort." Fellow GamePro reviewer Tommy Glide similarly praised the Game Gear version as a worthy handheld effort which retains most of the options, teams, and plays of the home versions.

Rules, also of GamePro, commented that the Game Boy version, while having unavoidable portable limitations such as tiny, unrecognizable sprites and mediocre sound effects, has a surprisingly strong selection of teams and stats and well-designed gameplay. Reviewing the Genesis version in GamePro, Athletic Supporter noted that "unlike its SNES counterpart, Madden '95 on the Genesis doesn't always generate high-scoring games." Ben D. GamePro 's Weekend Warrior gave the Super NES version a positive review, expressing approval for both the game's many new features (particularly the ability to substitute players in any position) and the retention of the same user-friendly mechanics as previous Madden games. The two sports reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the Super NES version scores of 85% and 90%, citing the improved animations and sounds from previous Madden games and the new rules and plays.

The game features the theme song from the NFL on Fox, which John Madden joined shortly before the game's release. It was released on the Game Boy, Game Gear, Genesis and Super NES. Wilson has his number edited to show the number 70, which was not worn by anyone on the 49ers roster in the 1994 season.

The cover features John Madden along with two NFL players, Dallas Cowboys left tackle Erik Williams and San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Karl Wilson. Player stats are tracked individually both in-game and throughout a season. Previously included "Past Championship Teams" and "All-Franchise" teams are not included.
#MADDEN NFL 20 DEVELOPER WINDOWS#
This version of Madden NFL is also the first Madden to showcase no passing windows, though passing windows can be retained using the options menu. The game reflects all NFL rosters and attributes for the 1994 season. The Genesis version of Madden NFL '95 is the first Madden game to have both the NFL team logo and NFLPA licenses, allowing players to be identified by their names in addition to their squad numbers.
