    I think i found the issue.
    after ea no offence but not really being any help at all. 
    I started looking around and trying some different * 
    i think the problem was madden was recognising my steering wheel i use for racing games and just crashing on launch as soon as i unplugged the wheel from the computer i had no problems launching the game. i fiddled with it the next day and came to the same conclusion. cant say i have played madden since but from memory this fixed it for me.

    So it looks like your machine should be able to play Madden 20.

    Possibly most importantly, you should go through the following to help ensure your GPU is used rather than the video processing on your CPU:

    1. Open the nvidia Control Panel
    2. Click Manage 3D settings
    3. Click the Program Settings tab
    4. Click the Add button
    5. Select the game from the list or click browse and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Madden NFL 20\Madden20.exe
    6. Select Madden20.exe and then Open
    7. Customise individual settings if you like
    8. Exit nvidia control panel and try playing.

    If you continue to see an issue, please post the exact error message you may see, thanks.

    I know this is a little late but did you end up finding a fix to the game not opening up for you? Did you try reinstalling the game or the Origin client? Running Origin as administrator (right click on the desktop shortcut) is also advised when a game is struggling to launch.

    @abbazabbagcm 

    I'm afraid your graphics card is below the minimum system requirements.
