EA fans, please pay attention! Madden NFL 25 is scheduled to officially launch on August 16th. It is a ball game that focuses on player immersion and freedom. Some time ago, EA was rating the players in the game, and also announced that the game will add a gameplay called Franchise.
Some players may be a little unfamiliar with Franchise, but this gameplay has appeared as early as Madden 04. Because the chief designer this time has participated in the design of NFL Head Coach 09 and Connected Franchise Mode. So this long-standing gameplay is very exciting. This guide will explain it to ensure that you are ahead of everyone when you officially start playing.
Three Pillars
It seems that EA has paid special attention to the use of three pillars in its sports games this year, and for Madden NFL 25, these three pillars are: Immersion, Customization, and Core Improvements.
Let’s start with Immersion. The developers want Franchise to be more interesting, so they’ve made a change to the dynamic storyline in the game. Franchise will make you feel you’re really managing a real team through more than 70 dynamic storylines. This way, I think you should pay more attention to the unique personality of each player, and the establishment of a dynasty is just around the corner.
Some players who have tried the test version said that you will encounter a player in the game who is out of shape during training. You can choose to motivate the player to recover as soon as possible and not disturb the team’s training, or let him rest. This may have different results.
After this incident, you may be interviewed by a reporter as a coach, and the reporter will ask you very directly whether the player plans to rest. No matter what you answer, it will cause a sensation in terms of draft and free agency. So this is a story that is linked together and focuses on the player’s customized experience.
In the real NFL, the season and the post-season are full of narratives. So your goal in the game is not only to win each game and get MUT 25 Coins as a reward, but more importantly, to reproduce as many real-life situations as possible.
These dynamic storylines take place in new environments, including the team meeting room, coach’s office, press conferences, practice sidelines and locker rooms. It also includes text messages from coordinators and players. Your choices have a big impact, especially on your player’s personality type. These will be at the forefront of contract negotiations and trade demands.
Breaking Storylines
The redesigned storylines will give you a variety of new and impactful ways to get players to their full potential in the lineup. So you will experience different results, some positive and some negative, which may last for a week or several weeks, and some even result in major development upgrades for players. It all depends on the decisions you make.
In addition, the difficulty of the goals you can choose from for the players you choose can now be adjusted. While easier goals are very easy to achieve, you will only get a small reward. If you complete some hard challenges in Madden NFL 25, in addition to numerous MUT 25 Coins rewarded to you, there are multiple development opportunities!
You can also manipulate your coach to get close to some outstanding players, which can make your team upgrade proactively without overly expecting the experience points rewarded by winning every game.
New Draft Night And Prospect Hub
It is reported that Madden NFL 25 will invite NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to appear on Draft Night, and the draft board selections will change dynamically according to the changes in the real stadium.
Once the selection is made, the selected players will walk across the stage holding the jerseys of their new clubs; and those who are unfortunate enough to be eliminated will receive a call at home saying they were not selected. This is so real! You have a God’s perspective and look at different situations. In addition, Madden NFL 25 will also add a new prospect board, so that you can more intuitively feel the mood of a builder when you experience Draft Night.
As for Prospect Hub, it has also been redesigned. Now each player’s level and physical measurable data will be provided in a spreadsheet format, which will make the scouts’ discovery of rookies and the draft process more seamless.
Rest Of The New Gameplay
In addition to the above changes, Madden NFL 25 will also introduce multiple broadcast teams and provide you with a new soundtrack consisting of 33 songs of different genres to keep you from getting bored in the game. The new commentary team is also here. Led by Mike Tirico and Greg Olsen, Brandon Gaudin and Charles Davis also return, and Kate Scott and Brock Huard join as the third team. More than 500 new audio samples will be included in the game, including efforts, grunts, tackles and collisions.
The first two are in-game changes. The new on-field shots of NFL stars warming up before the game and the various statistical banners have been redesigned because the development team wants to expand the storytelling when the offense takes the field, setting the scene by using highlights, and commentators talking about the positive or negative performance of players or teams. This scene puts you in the middle of an actual game.
That’s about some of the new gameplay changes in Madden NFL 25. I hope you can have fun playing in the official version on the 16th of this month, and be able to lead your team to a dynasty in the future!
