Why can't we play old versions of Madden mobile

I was wondering this because you can play the old console versions but not the mobile ones. I know it used to be an update to the app yearly, but I'm sure the files for the old games are out there somewhere. Is it a server thing? Would love to know this!

    Essentially, yes; it's a server thing. Historically, MM15-MM20 was played on the same app. At the conclusion of each season, the servers would go offline for a period of time and server maintenance would commence. After a few days, an update for the app will be made available via the app store and the new game will launch with the updated servers. At this time, the prior season will no longer be available to play.

    Now, with the transition from MM20 to the current Madden NFL 21 Mobile, things were a bit different than usual. MM20 is actually still playable (you can still download the game if you have it in your app store's download history), which is something that was not a thing with any of the prior Madden Mobiles. This is because Madden NFL 21 Mobile is a completely separate app from the prior MM20 season, so the MM20 servers were able to remain online and co-exist with the new season.

    There are no plans to release the code for an emulator. Madden Mobile has always transitioned from one season to the next.

    @EA_Blueberry Dang, I’d pay good money to be able to redownload each game. Madden mobile 18 with the option to play through different events like on console would be awesome.

    I'd be great to see more type of game modes you see on console make it to mobile and vise-versa. There are events on mobile that I think the console/PC crowd would also enjoy for the Solo Challenges part of the game.

    Do you have any favorite ones you want to see added to mobile?

    @EA_Blueberry Nothing in particular but if there was a madden mobile 18 out there with all the content available to play through that would be awesome. Like once you get done with Halloween you can move on to ultimate freeze. Along with the packs being available in the store to buy as well.
