Madden NFL 25 can officially claim the crown as the most authentic Madden game of all time. Despite some impressive content additions, you might get the impression that having much more would've sufficed.

Always having class while still being humble, Madden NFL 25 continues the series' grand legacy. MVPs will have a blast, while newcomers can treat this as a good jumping on point.

Like an NFL team’s high new draft pick, Madden NFL 25 provides the franchise hope for the future with its great on-field gameplay, phenomenal presentation improvements, and streamlined gameplay modes, as long as it irons out the predatory microtransactions in the meantime.

Madden 25 is a triumphant return to form for the Madden franchise and is easily the best entry in years.

Football is played on the field and this is clearly where the development team focused with Madden NFL 25. The changes to the physics are meaningful and can create opportunities that weren't previously available in the series thanks to BOOM Tech. Getting a perfect hit with Hit Stick 2.0 can be satisfying thanks in part to sound of the pads and the visual cue. Receiver and defender interactions when going for the ball are engaging and the offensive line play is fantastic. The steps EA has taken to make Madden look and sound like Sunday are clear. The holdback comes down to the same experience w...

While Madden 25 feels like a great improvement on last year's game, it still feels like much of its core is standing in place. While that leads to a feeling of "Maybe next year" that the series has fostered before, it's definitely a better game than last year's effort.

In some ways, Madden 25 is a step forward from its predecessor, in others, it’s stuck at the line of scrimmage.

Madden NFL 25 isn’t a bad game, it’s just the latest mild variation of the same game I’ve been playing for the past half-decade. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that modern Madden games won’t be better than “just alright” until there’s some sort of major change in the philosophy behind how they’re developed and released, but at least I’ve got College Football to go back to.

Madden has never played better on the field, but that attribute feels like a would-be elite QB stuck behind a shaky O-line.

Madden NFL 25 amps up the realism and presentation while disappointing in all other aspects.

While there may have the smallest step taken toward improving the gameplay, Madden 25 falls completely flat because the proper simulation modes still feel the same and haven't changed much. The UI may look different, but the same options for relocation/renovation, the same team management options, and soulless superstar options drag this game down back to where the franchise has been for the past several years. It's disappointing in every sense of the word.

Madden Share is also a new feature that EA have added. You can now upload things such as customer sliders and play books with others online using Madden share. It really opens up your playing experience to see what other players have been using and it’s great to see that EA have done away with the USB uploading and allowed for a big community to come to life. You can sort by passing, running or custom with ease and even rate them for the rest of the community.
