In the real football league, every team will dream of winning Lombardi trophy and starting NFL season after hard training. And in the course of the season, many teams will experience more brutal games to compete for the glory in the playoffs. These results are unpredictable because the strength of actual players will be unstable.
But fortunately, in football video games like Madden NFL 25, you can infer their strength based on the total rating of each team or each player, and predict whether they will win or lose in the game. The total rating of a team will be evaluated based on the team’s offense, defense and the strength of individual players, so the total rating can be used as the basis for your choice of a team. If you still don’t know which team to choose among many teams, this guide will provide you with several options with good total ratings so that you can avoid the trouble of entanglement.
Cincinnati Bengals With 87 Overall
Cincinnati Bengals is a team from AFC North, with a rating of 87 in MUT 25. After participating in Super Bowl in 2022, many players in the team were injured, which prevented Cincinnati Bengals from realizing their full potential, and they have never won any major honors since then.
However, many fans still believe that they can turn this situation around in subsequent seasons. When you receive Cincinnati Bengals, you can first let them try more passing games, because there are many good passers in this team. This is the best way to improve their overall rating and attributes.
For example, quarterback Joe Burrow and receiver Ja’Marr Chase both have very important X-Factor abilities in the game, which will make them very powerful when they cooperate. In addition, this powerful combination, coupled with the excellent pass catcher Tee Higgins, can make your tackles very good at attacking.
Philadelphia Eagles With 87 Overall
Players familiar with the league know that Philadelphia Eagles have the most balanced lineup, so it is not surprising that it has an overall rating of 87 points in the game. But despite such a lineup, Philadelphia Eagles have never recovered after losing in 2023 Super Bowl LVII game.
After making some major moves this offseason, we can all look forward to a wonderful performance in 2024. Back to the team, Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line is unquestionable because it has some of the best offensive players in the league. For example, Saquon Barkley, who the team got at a high price, is also a player with X-Factor abilities, so you can let him run early and run often in the game, so that you will have a better chance of winning the game.
If you are at a disadvantage on the field and there is not enough space for Saquon Barkley to play, you can let him drop back and pass the ball to playmakers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. This way, you will have a better chance of winning the game and getting Madden 25 Coins reward.
Cleveland Browns With 87 Overall
Another team with an overall rating of 87 points is Cleveland Browns. Although they have been considered the laughingstock of the league and not favored by everyone in the past few decades, some wise draft picks and the development of key players in the team in recent years have brought Cleveland Browns back to the public eye.
But whether it can become famous in the playoffs requires it to go through some efforts. In Cleveland Browns, the attribute you can focus on is the team’s defensive ability, because the overall rating and various attributes of the defensive players in the team are relatively good.
For example, Myles Garrett, who has defended the title of Defensive Player Of The Year, can ensure that his offensive teammates can make key attacks by attacking the quarterback of the opposing team. Even if the opposing player holds the ball, the excellent receivers in Cleveland Browns can turn the situation around, including superstar Denzel Ward.
Detroit Lions With 88 Overall
Detroit Lions from NFC North received an overall rating of 88 points in Madden 25. Like Cleveland Browns, they have long been known as an extremely underdog team. But the performance of Detroit Lions in the 2024 NFC Championship game has changed many people’s minds and made them believe that its future is bright.
But unlike Cleveland Browns, the chief advantage of Detroit Lions is in the offense. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta are the two most reliable targets on this team, especially in certain scenarios.
For example, when your team starts to prepare for a return pass, you can let star right tackle Penei Sewell create a running lane for you, and then Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery will protect the ball and pass it to the two attackers, and they will create excellent goals. The more points you score, the more MUT 25 Coins you will be rewarded with.
Dallas Cowboys With 88 Overall
Dallas Cowboys has a very good lineup and has won many games, but because of its poor performance in the playoffs, it has only an overall score of 88 points.
Like Philadelphia Eagles in the same region, Dallas Cowboys have talented players on offense and defense. For example, Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence can protect your team from the threat of the opponent’s quarterback, and CeeDee Lamb with an overall score of 96 points can make your team have more points.
After you take over Dallas Cowboys, which look good on the surface, the most important thing is not to rush to adjust the attributes of each player, but to find a way to unite them and have stronger organizational ability.
The above is some teams with better overall ratings that you can choose in Madden NFL 25. Although they all have some minor problems, I believe you can solve them with your strategy!
