Review of Madden NFL 25: was it worth the wait
Madden NFL 25 Review: The Boom We Needed?
The new NFL season is here, and so is EA's annual Madden NFL game. After a disappointing Madden NFL 24, Madden NFL 25 brings a fresh experience.
The franchise needed a big change, and Madden NFL 25 delivers in unexpected ways.
BOOM Tech: A Game Changer
Every sports simulation game claims to have revolutionary technology. NBA 2K has "ProPlay," FIFA has "Hypermotion," and Madden NFL 25 introduces "BOOM Tech."
This new tech enhances the precision of contacts and collisions, making the game more enjoyable.
For the first time, playing as a defensive player is a blast. You can lock onto a target and let the BOOM Tech handle the rest.
Gameplay Improvements
Madden NFL 25 offers solid gameplay with improved mechanics. The "FieldSENSE" technology adds realism to player interactions, making animations smoother and collisions more impactful.
However, the game lacks bold innovations. Most changes are minor tweaks rather than groundbreaking updates.
Limited Game Modes
The game modes remain basic:
- Play Now
- Franchise Mode
- Superstar Mode
- Madden Ultimate Team (not recommended)
The Superstar mode is far from what NBA 2K offers and lacks the depth of previous Madden career modes.
Graphics and Presentation
Madden NFL 25 looks good but not spectacular. Player models are detailed, and stadiums are well-recreated.
However, the game falls short in areas like voice acting and dynamic commentary, which impacts immersion.
Localization Issues
One major drawback is the lack of complete French localization. This can be a barrier for non-English speakers, affecting the overall experience.
Verdict
If you're a die-hard Madden fan or a big NFL follower, Madden NFL 25 will likely satisfy you. But if you were hoping for a revolutionary update, you'll be disappointed.
For a fresher experience, consider trying College Football 25 instead.
