EA Sports Madden 25 Gameplay
Thanks to new improvements for FieldSENSE on new-gen systems, you can use the new Boom Tech Tackling system to your advantage. Essentially, this new physics-based tackling system brings a new hit stick system that makes timing more important than ever on big tackles.
Furthermore the new Ball Carrier Balance and Recovery System grant let players take big hits, break tackles, and recover balance based on numerous factors. Things like your ratings, the quality of the hit, and even player size play a role in a ball carrier's ability to make a play.
Madden 25 offers a plethora of modes, some of which fans of the series are already familiar with.
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's Franchise Mode brings a new and improved draft night experience that actually features NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. The new draft experience also comes with an easier-to-navigate menu, making your draft night experience easier.
Throughout the season, there'll be dynamic storylines which you need to keep your eye on. Your star WR might walk into your office and ask you how many reps they're getting this week. Continuing to keep your best players happy while focusing on winning games adds a new level of challenge to Franchise.
And last but not least, Madden 25's Franchise mode lets you build your own team via Team Builder. Create your own logo on or choose one of many pre-made ones and create your own franchise. For the first time in over a decade, you can finally make your own team again. This includes Stadium, uniforms, and much more.
Madden 25, like many other sports titles, features a card-collecting mode where you build a powerful team of legends and current players. Overall, 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 features more seasonal content to incentivize players to come back and earn new rewards.
Lastly, Madden 25 features Superstar Mode (previously known as – Face of The Franchise). Overall, this mode lets you create your own player and live out their NFL career. Choose from one of several positions and live out the career of your dreams. Furthermore, feel free to import your College Football 25 player after finishing their Road To Glory career.
Essentially, the biggest change in Superstar mode comes in the form of:
- A new archetype system where you spend creation points on your player and their abilities
- New drills and mini-games for the Combine
- Superstar Quests & Teammate abilities
