EA Sports Madden 25 Gameplay

The biggest changes we know of for Madden 25's Gameplay so far is:

  • FieldSENSE Improvements for PS5, XSX, and PC
  • Updates to Franchise among other modes
  • New Commentary & Presentation

While we don't have any official gameplay videos or trailers just yet, we do know that Madden 25's Gameplay will feature plenty of familiar modes.

Firstly, you can simply take any of your favorite NFL teams and duke it out on Play Now. However, if you want something more, you can try your hand at Franchise or Ultimate Team.

Franchise mode essentially lets you create your own Owner, Coach, or Player (or use a pre-existing one), and create a dynasty. Depending on the role you choose, you can customize and edit several features about your team. From the roster, to the team's city, name, and logo, you'll get to control various aspects of your Franchise. Play for one team your entire career, or coach/play somewhere else if you feel you want to change the scenery.

Madden 25, like many other sports titles, features a card-collecting mode where you build a powerful team of legends and current players. Ultimate Team, or MUT as it's commonly referred to, lets you build a powerful squad by opening packs, completing challenges, and more. Madden 25 will likely feature seasonal content to incentivize players to come back and earn new rewards.

Lastly, Madden 25 will likely continue to feature Superstar Mode (previously known as – Face of The Franchise). This narrative mode follows your player throughout their NFL career, similarly to Franchise. However, there's more focus on building your player both on and off the field, with more presentation to create a unique experience. We're not sure what they'll title it this year, but it'll likely feel familiar to last year's iteration.

Therefore, we might also receive Superstar Showdown, or something similar. This 3v3 mode lets you use your Superstar Avatar in games against others online And of course, Madden 25's gameplay will feature other online modes, some of which are variations of single-player modes.

Overall, that includes everything we know so far about the Madden 25 Release Date. However, we plan to provide more updates as we approach the release date in August.
