Madden NFL 25 is a consistently good entry in the annualized franchise, but it does little to push for the highlight reels.
Improved on the field, with a gameplay that shows signs of an evolution that affects animations, attack and defense, Madden NFL 25 misses the mark when it comes to the game modes offered. Too few differences compared to last season, for an element that instead needs new proposals capable of bringing a burst of innovation that has been missing for too long now.
The experience in Madden NFL 25 is exactly what you'd expect: consistent gameplay, a presentation that mirrors real life, and game modes that allow football fans to fully enjoy the sport. However, comparisons with College Football are inevitable.

Franchise is pretty fun. The graphics aren’t very good. Pretty glitchy, (ball going through defenders) and superstar mode is terrible except for the Combine. I wish you could skip over games like RTG. Compared to CFB25, this game isn’t very good.

This is the most glitchy madden I have played, the only difference between this and Madden 24 is that you need to time up your hits sticks, and honestly me and my friends have not figured out this mechanic after over 100hrs.

Madden 25 is the most complete version of the series in more than a decade. Failing to recognize the improvements essentially gives in to reflex hate more than evaluating each version's merits. The gameplay is tighter, customization has seen a significant boost, and each mode has depth. If you buy a version of Madden every five years, it should be this one.

Madden NFL 25 is a superior game to its predecessor, whether in terms of animations, artificial intelligence, menus or Career Mode. However, don't expect anything really new or innovative, just detailed coverage of the NFL with no surprises.

I think that Madden 25 is perfect because it’s so realistic to the game and I really like it

Madden 25 is slightly better than Madden 24 in every way, but with only Franchise Mode and presentation truly noticeable upgrades. If you own College Football 25, feel will be familiar, and its rosters capable of import.

Without any major changes other than a slight visual and physics update, Madden NFL 25 is still a great sports game. Even without direct competition, it delivers a complete experience for fans, and only for them.

Madden NFL 25 truly does make some improvements over Madden NFL 24. That said, it is hard to give the game a glowing review when it isn’t even the best football game EA Sports has released this Summer. Anyone loyal enough to the Madden franchise to pick up the new version each year will definitely be pleased with Madden NFL 25, but the game isn’t a must-have by any metric.

EA Sports makes some fun changes on the surface, but the more you play, the more you see all the same problems bubbling to the surface. I think this year's version is marginally better than Madden NFL 24, but not in any way that's going to matter to most fans. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to College Football 25.

Madden 25 is the latest game in a series that appears to have either run out of ideas or simply has no interest in coming up with new ones. Small new additions do little to inspire excitement and a major overhaul feels desperately needed, and is the least that fans deserve.

If your not talking about the price your talking about the gameplay and the gameplay is pretty good while some plays are a little bugged and the game doesn't look great but if it's on sale it's worth it 7.5/10

Playing Madden 25 was like a trip down memory lane. I appreciated the nods to the franchise's history and the tweaks to the gameplay, like the "Precision Modifier," which gave me a bit more control. The Connected Franchise and Owner Mode added some nice depth, making the game more ****, honestly, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was playing the same game from the past few years. The commentary got repetitive fast, and the AI didn't always act as sharp as I’d like to. The graphics were solid but didn’t wow me, especially for a big anniversary edition.Overall, Madden 25 was fun, especially if you're a long-time fan like me, but it didn't blow me away with anything new.

Madden 25 is a game which promised to be an another "Make Or Break" for the series in which has become ever so stale, and again just like with the title before it, it disiponted. EA Sports has failed constantly to supply a healthy NFL licensed experience, stop buying it, so the NFL will revoke the aggrement with EA, EA has no idea what their doing at this point, and have made Madden into a piece of trash compared to the older titles. EA, I ask that you please stop making football games, you don't know what the heck you are doing, honestly, I feel sad for John Madden the most, turning in his grave over this greedy bull*hit.
