If football is a game of inches, then Madden typically manages to perfectly recapture that feeling in the minutiae of its year-to-year iterations. Every August, fans sit around and obsessively try to figure out what has changed, if the under-the-hood adjustments actually matter, if the new systems do what EA says they do, and if things truly feel any better. Usually<\/em>, that is. Not this year. I haven\u2019t played enough of Madden NFL 25 to render a final verdict just yet, but I can already tell that things feel very different than they do in Madden NFL 24 \u2013 and I don\u2019t need to bring out the chains to see that good progress has been made. <\/p>\n

EA has been hyping up Madden 25\u2019s updated looks, and honestly, that\u2019s where its improvements are most immediately clear. The menus are much cleaner \u2013 your options are big, clearly delineated, and easy to understand, and, miraculously, largely lag-free. This may not seem like a big deal, but if you played Madden 24 at launch, it feels like mana from heaven. It truly is the little things. My wife, who specializes in UX design and has watched me play entirely too much Madden 24 over the last year, walked by while I was playing this year\u2019s iteration and casually remarked that \u201cthis looks like an actual menu designed by an actual person.\u201d Hallelujah, brothers and sisters. They heard us.<\/p>\n

What we said about Madden NFL 24<\/h2>\n

Madden NFL 24 makes several much-needed improvements to the on-field experience thanks to fantastic additions to animations and AI, but it still suffers from the same problems it always has once you get off the field: everything here is just done better in every other sports sim, even the other ones made by EA, and this year\u2019s tweaks just aren\u2019t enough to make up for the series\u2019 continued feeling of sameness and lack of progress. To continue the metaphor, Madden feels like a decent but not great football team: content to coast. If it were in the right division I could see it sneaking into the playoffs, or overperforming in a good year. But it\u2019s the kind of team that typically gets eliminated in the first round. The on-field game might be the best it\u2019s ever been, but there are too many off-field issues here to ignore, and with each passing year it feels more and more like they\u2019ll never be fixed. Perpetually, Madden seems like it could be a contender with time and the right changes, but right now it feels like an also-ran. And you don\u2019t win the Super Bowl like that. – Will Borger, August 22, 2023<\/em><\/p>\n

Score: 6<\/h2>\n

Read the full Madden NFL 24 review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All right, Will. Yeah, new menus. Big whoop. Tell us about something more substantial than that. Well, dear reader, the major modes benefit from this new focus on presentation, too, and I feel like a lot of what\u2019s good here can be traced directly back to the improvements we saw in College Football 25<\/a>. In Franchise mode, you can finally create female coaches, and there are more customization options than ever before in terms of heads and apparel. There are still only ten head options for women compared to forty for men, but it\u2019s cool that they\u2019ve been added at all.<\/p>\n

Superstar also benefits from this new coat of paint, despite ditching the pretense of an opening storyline (and based on what I\u2019ve seen, voice acting) entirely, which is a shame. The upside is that once you complete the Combine, things get better. The draft actually looks and feels like the NFL draft. When the almighty Joe Throw got drafted by the Falcons 8th overall, Roger Goodell, the most hated man in football, came out and hugged him before presenting him with a Falcons jersey and posing for a picture \u2014 just like in real life. Did Joe look like some hideous golem animated by black magic compared to the mute, wax figure of Madden 25\u2019s Roger Goodell? Yes. Does that matter? Not really. It still looks a hell of a lot better than what we had, and I appreciated all of the additional customization options I was given when recreating Joe Throw in Madden 25 \u2014 another thing this year\u2019s Madden feels like it owes in part to College Football 25.<\/p>\n

The draft actually looks and feels like the NFL draft this year.<\/p>\n

Once I was in the Falcons facility, I walked around with head coach Raheem Morris and we discussed my goals for the preseason. Again, it\u2019s a little weird to see everyone\u2019s mouths move and have no sound come out, but graphically? Way better than last year, and I appreciated the moment-to-moment visual updates, whether I was chatting with my teammates in the locker room or out on the field. No longer are we trapped in hotel rooms.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the field, there\u2019s some neat stuff to see here, too. Things just look better all around, whether it\u2019s character models, animations before, during, and after plays, or the new and improved touchdown graphics that pull up the scoring player\u2019s photo. Again, it\u2019s the little things.<\/p>\n

Not everything\u2019s a home run here, however; I hate the new play arts, at least the ones we see in the playbook. They\u2019re harder to parse than the ones in Madden 24 and, conveniently, look just like the ones in College Football 25. They can\u2019t all be zingers, I guess, but man, these can\u2019t be replaced fast enough.<\/p>\n

There are also a lot of big changes, like the new kickoff rules, which feel\u2026 really weird. I don\u2019t think I like them, but that\u2019s an NFL problem, not necessarily a Madden problem. Either way, it will take a while to get used to. Other things are more positive. I love being able to choose coverage shells rather than just appearing in base align, and I\u2019m a big fan of being able to shift both sides of my O-line independently of one another\u2026 yet another feature we first saw in College Football 25. It might just be me, but Madden 25 even feels closer to College Football 25 in terms of speed \u2013 maybe I\u2019m crazy, but if that actually proves to be a thing as I play more, I like the direction things are headed.<\/p>\n

I also like that there are more mini-games to play, and that there are finally mini-games for O-linemen you can use to Focus Train them in Franchise mode. I don\u2019t particularly enjoy <\/em>these mini-games, admittedly, but at least they\u2019re there and I can use them \u2013 and overall the mini-games here are hands down an improvement over Madden 24. Getting messages from my GM when I\u2019m playing as a coach in my Franchise is also a nice touch, and I\u2019m a big fan of the new commentary teams, particularly Kate Scott and Brock Huard. (Say it with me: it\u2019s the little things.) <\/p>\n

I have a lot of Madden NFL 25 left to play before I\u2019m ready to give it a score. I have a Franchise to run, more Superstars to guide to Lombardi glory, my yearly slog in the EA Money Machine that is Ultimate Team, and so on. But I find myself\u2026 optimistic? Is that even a thing you\u2019re allowed to be about Madden? Maybe I\u2019m totally off base, and I\u2019ll notice more issues the more I play. Football\u2019s a game of inches, after all, and the smallest mistakes can lead to disaster. But right now, man, those little things? They\u2019re feelin\u2019 pretty good.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
