Video review of Madden NFL 25

Madden NFL 25 was reviewed by Will Borger on Xbox Series X, also available for PlayStation 5 and PC.

Madden NFL 25 has a lot going for it. The on-field action is as good as it's ever been thanks to BOOM Tech and the additions from College Football 25. The improvements to presentation are also very welcome, but the modes remain functionally the same. Ultimate Team is still a Skinner Box, Superstar is still mediocre, and the Skills Trainer really needs an update to help newer and former players. Franchise is the best here, and it still needs some help. The improvements it's gotten are nice, but long overdue, and you don't get a parade for doing things it should have done years ago. EA seems content to continue to get away with being the only company with the NFL license, and that's no way to fix the same old things that have been dragging Madden down for years.
