— Scott The Woz, episode "Same Name Different Game"
Madden NFL 25 is an American football video game developed by EA Orlando and published by EA Sports. Madden NFL 25 was released on August 16, 2024 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
Why It Got Rumble
- For starters, it's yet again another reskin to the previous one, but this time, they put some features from College Football 25 and barely changed from the gameplay to the UI interface.
- Mediocre graphics, while the graphics had been improved a little bit, it's still isn't good enough, as the Frostbite engine is designed for FPS games and not for Sports games.
- Like the previous entries, the game have several bugs and glitches.
- The music is awful, compared to the College Football 25.
- Poor animation that still move like a robot.
- The UI interface is awful, and yep, it's still like College Football, only it's poorly done.
- Face of the Franchise is still had awful story, with crappy cutscenes.
- The commentary is awful and even sounds like the AI voices.
- Like previous Madden entries, it's still had a monopoly Madden Ultimate Team.
- For gameplay perspective, they add nothing, there's no revamped passing and no new AI behavior.
- The AI is even dumber than previous ones.
- No revamped passing, this feature is passing to other player with better controller, but this feature is not in this games.
- It's still doesn't have a local multiplayer, both PVP and co-op in the franchise mode.
- The franchise mode is poorly done, like the previous Madden.
- The face customization is still the same, only adding new faces and body every year, showing how lazy for developer is.
- Overall, this is almost the end of the Madden franchise, due to how lazy and how horrible the game is, and if the EA are losing the Madden licenses, it will loses tons of money, and if they made one more time of Madden NFL in 2025, they will be the end the franchise on the sour note due to how EA was.
Redeeming Qualities
- As mentioned above, they adding some features from previous Madden and even NCAA, such as Team builder.
- The graphics had been improved a little bit, but it's still mediocre and not enough to good game.
- The presentation is improved from Madden NFL 24, as the main menu has real NFL footage and the scoreboard looks authentic.
