2024 was a big year for the Madden franchise, with EA Sports and the NFL negotiating an extension of their exclusive license agreement, which expires in 2027.

EA Sports had all the reasons to prove to the NFL that extending the license agreement was the best move, and releasing a great game was the best way to showcase that.

The features announced for Madden 25 backed that up. EA Sports revealed some exciting features, especially in gameplay and the forgotten Franchise mode, which left fans optimistic about the title.

Many players believed this could be the game that would turn the franchise around, marking a return to the golden age of Madden, and could deliver the best football simulation of all time.

Unfortunately, despite taking baby steps, Madden still needs to learn to walk, and Madden 25 isn't the fantastic game many were waiting for.

Reviewed on Xbox Series X. Review copy provided by the publisher.

The BOOM Isn't Enough to Make the Gameplay Feel Special

BOOM Tech was by far the most hyped feature in Madden 25, at least gameplay-wise, and for a good reason: it delivers everything it promised. Tackles and collisions are much more realistic, and you are penalized by badly-timed tackles. You can see the impact of the BOOM Tech feature in every play, and tackles feel more satisfying.

The revamped hit stick is another one of the positives of the Madden 25 gameplay, as the hit-stick mechanic is now much more high-risk and high-reward, and you need to time the hit stick perfectly, but when you do, it feels great.

Regular and signature animations look good, even if running animations often leave something to be desired. The new pass block and pass protection options are a good addition, but nothing game-changing.

The AI still makes some egregious mistakes, like offensive linemen not blocking for your running back, even if the opponent is passing just in front of him.

AI players stick to the play call and never deviate from it, which causes the AI to lack a huge amount of adaptation, which is crucial in football. With Madden being a simulation game, you would expect it to have it. This can lead to frustrating plays that will leave you wanting to throw the controller instead of the football.

Overall, the Madden 25 gameplay feels okay, better than Madden 24. The new features aren't groundbreaking, and despite improving the gameplay, they don't do so in a massive way, where you feel the gameplay is something completely different than before.

An Improved UI

The UI was massively improved in Madden 25. Not only does the main menu look better, but it's also more responsive. Finally, the painfully slow menus are gone, and navigating this new UI is easier, faster, and more satisfying.

The developers got this right, and Madden needed it, which might make it the most impactful new feature introduced by the title.

However, the game mode menus are still annoyingly slow, especially the Franchise mode one. Accessing the depth chart, the team salary page, or going back and forth in the trade center takes ages, which hinders the experience and immersion.

A Soulless Franchise Mode

Despite the new features, such as the messaging board or the revamped draft experience, which is quite underwhelming, the Franchise mode continues to be soulless.

The changes made to the NFL Draft are disappointing, to say the least. There are no voices during the draft cutscenes. Roger Goodell is in the game, and you can see him moving his lips when presenting a player, but there is no sound.

This feels like a huge missed opportunity; why have the NFL commissioner in the game if he is just going to stand on the podium and hold the jersey? Surely, he could at least say the player's name, college, and position.

It is disappointing that there was no commentary during the entire draft and no analysts talking about the players, their attributes, how they went up or down in the draft board, and why. It feels like yet another missed opportunity.

The draft cutscenes are forgettable, and you will most likely skip them after watching them two or three times. Madden had a chance to improve the NFL Draft presentation and overall experience, but they missed it.

They did, however, get it right with the new prospect board, which delivers a more intuitive UI, making it easier to draft players. Despite that, you still can't see what players you picked in previous draft rounds, which doesn't make sense.

The changes to Franchise mode are surface-level and, unfortunately, don't make the mode more immersive or improve the overall experience.

It seems Franchise fans will have to continue to fight the good fight, as they have done so far, and hope next year is the year Madden introduces significant changes to the mode.

Superstar Mode isn't that Super

Similar to what happened to Franchise, the new features of Superstar mode are lackluster. You have more hairstyles, faces, and even tattoos, but you still don't have a face scan feature, something NBA 2K and MLB The Show introduced quite some time ago.

EA Sports certainly has the means to do that, which begs the question, why haven't they?

You can only choose between five positions, and while the option to import your College Football 25 Road to Glory character is a good one, apart from the five extra skill points you get, your college career doesn't matter.

Did you win the Heisman and multiple National Championships? Well, congratulations, but we don't really care. Now, go to the draft combine and make sure you answer all of the interview questions correctly so we can decide where you will land on the draft board.

The cutscenes in Superstar mode are also forgettable, and just like in Franchise mode, they get boring after a while. Oh, and did I mention there isn't any sound on these, just subtitles?

When NBA 2K, which I have been critical of plenty of times, has created engaging storylines year after year, with cutscenes where you can hear the characters talking and the tone of their voices changing depending on the situation, why can't EA also do that?

Don't get me wrong, the NBA 2K storylines are very hit-or-miss, but the cutscenes are miles better. Once again, this is something EA could have introduced in Madden 25 but decided not to, another missed opportunity.

Madden is Ultimate Team

This has been clear for quite some time, but EA Sports reminds us every year that Madden is Ultimate Team, and that's the mode the publisher wants you to play. Otherwise, we wouldn't get an Ultimate Team ad pop-up whenever we leave a game mode.

The mode continues to be a hellscape of microtransactions, where players must spend money to compete. Fair-to-play users are at an insane disadvantage, as they have to grind through an ocean of challenges just to get cards that allow them a fighting chance.

The problem is that new cards behind a paywall are released almost every week, making fair-to-play users constantly on the back foot.

Do you want access to great cards, perhaps even play with legendary players? Well, pull your wallet out. It's as simple as that and has been for many years, and I don't expect that to change anytime soon.

Yes, we now have Head-to-Head ranked, new challenge types, and 6-on-6 events, but the core of Ultimate Team remains the same: a money grab.

Furthermore, EA Sports announced that Madden 25 will introduce more content than ever, which means players will need to spend even more money to obtain cards that will become outdated in two weeks.

Verdict

Madden 25 is a slightly improved version of Madden 24, but most new features fall short of expectations. The gameplay is decent, and the UI is much better, but the changes to the game modes are lackluster and don't make the game more immersive or enjoyable.

Madden 25 isn't fun, contrary to College Football 25, which excels at walking the fine line between delivering a realistic but also fun experience. Yes, they are two hugely different games, but it's impossible not to compare them when they are both football games made by the same company and studio.

If you were looking for a title that would revolutionize the Madden franchise, this one certainly isn't it. Unfortunately, this is the only one available if you are a huge NFL fan and want an NFL simulation football game.

The 2024 NFL season is expected to be very exciting and deliver memorable moments, but Madden 25, on the other hand, is not so much.

Another disappointing entry in the Franchise

Madden 25 makes some slight improvements to the gameplay and UI, but most new features fall short of what was promised, and offline players' concerns continue to be dismissed in favor of Ultimate Team.

Rating:6 out of 10

With the release of FC 25 being ever so close, many fans are worried about the game, especially because of the many negative first impressions the FC 25 beta has received.

Fans fear that the changes introduced are minimal and that FC 25 will simply be an updated version of FC 24. Some FC fans are even questioning if EA Sports actually put effort into the game, or if this is just a copy of FC 24 with some slight improvements.

FC 25 Gameplay Feels the Same

According to fans who have played the FC 25 beta, the gameplay doesn't look that different, unfortunately.

Tactical fouls are a good addition to the game, but they don't have a huge impact on the gameplay. Many users said the same about FC IQ, which was supposed to "deliver greater strategic control and more realistic team movement", but wasn't quite able to do that.

The AI, especially on the attack, continues to make the same mistakes, and predictable movements, leaving many players who tried out the beta wondering if FC IQ has any significant impact on the gameplay.

Players also feel that the revamp to Team Tactics is nothing more than a presentation change to custom tactics, simply introducing an updated UI and some new options that don't impact the gameplay in any noticeable way.

These aren't exactly exciting news for fans, and even if this is just the beta, is hard to think things will drastically change just a couple of weeks before launch.

A Lack of Meaningful Changes to Game Modes

Apart from the introduction of Rush, FC 25 is incredibly lackluster when it comes to new modes or meaningful changes to already existing ones.

Ultimate Team, which is clearly the mode EA Sports dedicates the most time to, didn't add any particularly exciting features.

Evos cards are less restrictive, which is a good change, but nothing revolutionary. Player contracts were removed, something that should have happened a long time ago, and isn't game-changing.

A storage system for duplicate cards was also added to the mode, and once again, this is a feature that should have been in the game for a long time, and won't significantly improve the game experience of players.

These are, at best, lateral moves, and the introduction of Rush is the only good addition to the mode. So even EA Sports' holy grail didn't get notable additions, which is worrisome, to say the least.

The Career mode changes look somewhat promising, but after so many features falling short of what they promised in past years, Career mode players are apprehensive and for a good reason.

Hopefully, FC 25 can deliver an immersive and exciting gaming experience, but the signs don't point in that direction.

Quarterback is the most popular position in football, and in Madden 25 Superstar mode, as most players want to create the next Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes, and dominate the league with their character.

But to do that players need the perfect build, especially if they also want to have success in the Showdown mode, which requires quarterbacks to do things they normally don't do.

Best Madden 25 QB Build in Superstar Mode

After choosing the character's hometown, name, number, and college, customizing its look, or importing the character from College Football 25, players will be able to choose their character's physique and attributes.

To have success in both the League and Showdown mode, users need to have a versatile character, as in Showdown users will have to play on both sides of the field. That's why players should select a Slim body type, with a 6'9 height, and 190 LBS.

This height and weight help users on defense in the Showdown mode, making it so their character isn't awful on defense, and can maybe intercept or swat some balls because of their height. It won't make them a lockdown defender by any means, but they can at least help on defense.

When it comes to the skill ratings, players should add three skill points to throw power, deep throw accuracy, throw on the run, and throw under pressure, and two skill points to spin move.

As for physical ratings, users should place three skill points in speed, two in acceleration, and one in change of direction.

Throwing is important in both Showdown and the League, so having great throwing skills is crucial for having success in both game modes. After all, all great quarterbacks are capable of throwing pinpoint passes.

For users that don't plan on playing Showdown, removing skill points from the spin move, acceleration, and speed, and adding them to other throwing skills such as medium or short throws can be better.

Players should always adapt this build to their playstyle, and what they excel at, as it will make the gaming experience much more enjoyable and immersive.

Abilities & X-Factors

This build will give players the following key abilities:

Throw power and throw on the run should be the first two abilities players upgrade, as they are key to the success of this build, be it on the League or in Showdown mode.

After unlocking all of the abilities slots, players should equip the Gold Arm Talent, Gold Mobile Deadeye, Gold Pressure Cooker, Bronze Spin Elite, if they intend on playing Showdown, and Gold Deep Deadeye.

For the Showdown abilities, players will want to equip Perfection and Secure Tackler. As for teammate abilities, users should equip the gold HB/TE Catch Drill, silver WR Catch Drill, and bronze Pass Block Drill.

As for the X-Factor, Gambit is the best option, but players should also try Bazooka and Pro Reads to see what feels better.

With this build, users can dominate in the League and Showdown, as they have all of the skills necessary to excel in both game modes.

The salary cap is always something Franchise mode players need to worry about in all Madden editions, and that's no different in Madden 25.

That's why knowing how to restructure a contract in Madden 25 is so important, as it will give players more cap space, allowing them to make more moves to improve their roster, be it by trades or free agent signings.

How to Restructure Contracts in Madden 25

To restructure a contract in Madden 25, players first need to access the team salaries page, which can be found in the manage roster tab.

On the team salaries page, users can see which players are eligible for a contract restructure, by hovering over them.

If the restructure contract option appears on a player then he is eligible for it, and users can press Y on Xbox or Triangle on PlayStation to restructure their contract.

Unfortunately, Madden 25 doesn't allow players to choose how they want to restructure the contract, and will just give users an option to free some cap space in the present season, and then add a specific amount to each of the remaining years of the contract.

As mentioned above, this feature is great for creating some extra cap space in the current season, allowing users to go for big trades, or sign some superstar in free agency.

However, players should only restructure the contracts of key players, otherwise, they will get a cap space penalty if they end up trading or even cutting that player.

So contract restructuring is better used on superstar players, or rising stars, players teams build around and are either among the best in their position in the league or have a huge potential.

Madden 25 is here, and what better way to experience the new entry in the Madden franchise than with friends?

Playing Madden with friends is an unmatched experience, as not only does it make the game more entertaining and raises the stakes, but it also makes every game feel like a Super Bowl final.

But to do that, players first need to know how to invite friends in Madden 25, which can be a little tricky.

How to Invite Friends in Madden 25

Before inviting a friend, players need to add that friend to their EA Sports friends list.

This is something Veteran Madden players probably won't need to do, as most of their friends will most likely already be on their EA Sports friends list, but new players will likely need to.

Users can add friends to their EA Sports friends lists by following these steps:

Once that is done, users can play with their friends in a plethora of game modes, such as H2H on Quickplay, Superstar Showdown, or the highly popular Ultimate Team.

To do that, players need to access the mode, H2H for example, select the play with a friend option, and simply invite one of the friends on their EA Sports friends list.

The friend simply needs to accept the invite, and the game can begin.

No one likes to lose against their friends, so mastering the Madden 25 controls, and knowing which are the best playbooks in the game, will give users the edge over their friends.

Scouting is one of the most important things in Madden 25 Franchise mode, especially for players who are rebuilding a team and need to find those diamonds in the rough, that will make their franchise a title contender in a few years.

Knowing how to hire, and allocate, scouts will help users draft great players, improve their squads, and get them close to the Lombardi trophy.

How to Hire Scouts in Madden 25

Hiring scouts in Madden 25 Franchise mode is actually quite simple and fast.

Users need to go to the scouting menu and select the scouts' option. There, players will see all of their scouts, and if all of the scout's slots are filled, players will need to fire one of the scouts to hire another.

To fire a scout users simply need to select a scout and then click X on Xbox, Square on PlayStation, or Q on PC.

Once that is done, players can press LT on Xbox, R2 on PlayStation, or LCTRL on PC, to access the Free Agent Scouts tab.

In the Free Agent Scouts tab, players can choose one of the scouts, of the same tier as the scout that was fired, and click Y on Xbox, Triangle on PlayStation, or Y on PC, to hire that scout.

If users fire a 2-star scout they can only hire a 2-star scout, as scouts can only be replaced by scouts of the same tier.

The most important thing is that players have scouts that match their team's needs. If the team needs more depth in the TE position or a good cornerback, users should hire scouts who are experts in these positions, preferably higher-tier scouts.

It's advisable that the lower tier scouts, 1-star scouts, are used to scout positions the team isn't in dire need of, but that the players still want to strengthen for the future.

User shouldn't be afraid of firing all of their scouts if they don't fit with the team's needs. It's possible to hire them down the line, and the most important thing, as mentioned above, is to have scouts who are experts in scouting players in areas the team really needs to improve.

Madden 25 has officially launched, and Season 1 of Ultimate Team has already arrived at the game, introducing exciting programs, great cards, unique events, and a Field Pass that contains a plethora of rewards.

This is a great way to start Madden 25 off, especially for MUT players, who can expect Season 1 to introduce even more spectacular content down the road.

Madden 25 Season 1 Release Date

Season 1 of Madden 25 has already gone live, providing players a chance to earn some good cards, participate in unique events, and upgrade their squads by earning great rewards.

MUT players have a lot of content to experience, and can also improve their squads in the process, which is great.

Season 1 Field Pass

The Season 1 Field Pass contains some spectacular rewards, especially for this phase in the game, with the highlight being five 80 OVR cards, which can be upgraded to 85 OVR with upgrade tokens players can earn in the Field Pass.

Players will also be able to earn many coins and packs, that can help them upgrade their squad. Furthermore, users can earn tickets, which can be traded for upgrade tokens, and many different packs, in the MUT store.

Since the Season 1 Field Pass contains a lot of rewards, completing it as fast as possible is a great way for users to significantly improve their team.

The AKA program is based on players with famous nicknames, and it's expected most of them will be legends of the game. As for the Campus Heroes program, as the name indicates, it introduces the best College players of all time, as well as some entertaining challenges.

Here is everything players need to know about the Season 1 of Madden 25 Ultimate Team.

Knowing how to spin in Madden 25 is something very important, and players need to master this mechanic, as it will help them gain a lot of valuable yards, or get out of difficult situations.

A well-timed spinning move is incredibly strong this year and will break the ankles of even the best defenders in the game. It's something every Madden player needs to have in their arsenal, as it will make their offense much stronger.

How to Spin in Madden 25

To perform a regular spin move in Madden 25, players simply need to press the B button on Xbox or circle on PlayStation. However, if users want to perform a precision spin move, they need to hold RT on Xbox or R2 on PlayStation, while also holding the B or circle button.

The regular spin move is significantly faster than the precision one, making it perfect for receivers to create separation from defenders, and earn a lot of yards.

As for the precision spin move, despite being slower it's great at getting players out of difficult situations. When it seems the receiver is just about to be tackled, a well-timed precision spin can leave the defenders in the dust, and secure users some valuable extra yards.

Timing is key when it comes to spin moves, a second too early will result in an easy tackle for opponents, but when well-timed, it's almost unstoppable in Madden 25, making a fool of even the best defenders in the game.

Learning the spin move is something all players need to do, but mastering all of the Madden 25 controls it's what's going to make users unstoppable on both sides of the field.

Madden 25 is here, and like all previous versions, the game continues to evolve with new strategies and moves that can change the outcome of any play. One such move is the hurdle, a technique that allows ball carriers to leap over defenders.

While it’s not the most commonly used move in the game, knowing when and how to execute it can make a difference, particularly in tight situations where every yard counts. The hurdle isn’t an easy move and requires precise timing and right players abilities to execute it perfectly.

How to Hurdle in Madden 25

A hurdle in Madden 25 is a rather risky move but it comes with a great reward.

To perform it, players need to press the sprint button, LT on Xbox or L2 on PlayStation, while running forward. Then, at the right moment, users have to press the jump button, Y on Xbox or Triangle on PlayStation, to attempt the hurdle.

This will make the player jump over a defender who is diving to make a tackle. While it seems pretty straightforward, it requires precise timing to be successful.

The success of a hurdle depends on the player's attributes, jump, and overall athleticism ratings. Players with higher jump ratings are more likely to clear the defender successfully.

Running backs and wide receivers generally have better chances of pulling off a hurdle due to their agility and athleticism. On the other hand, quarterbacks, tight ends, and defensive players often lack the necessary attributes to perform this move successfully.

In Madden 25, a hurdle can change the outcome of an offensive play in both ways. First, the ball carrier can avoid a tackle and continue advancing down the field. However, if miss-timed or performed with the wrong player, it can result in a quick takedown or even a fumble, making it a high-risk move.

Another appropriate time to perform a hurdle in Madden 25 is when users are near the goal line or first down marker, and a defender is diving low to stop them.

On the other hand, Madden will often help players by prompting different moves from them, including a hurdle in appropriate situations.

Players need to remember to only perform a hurdle in Madden 25 when required, as it's an incredibly risky move. That's why users must master all the Madden 25 controls so that they don't need to rely on just one move.

2K has announced all of the improvements coming to The W in NBA 2K25, and unfortunately, they aren't that great, or even unique, with NBA 2K once again not capitalizing on the mode potential.

The new features aren't that new, as they already were a part of a very popular game mode in the past, which left many fans disappointed, and rightfully so.

Recycled Features Can't Change a Mode

The biggest addition to The W in NBA 2K25 is the "Become the GOAT" feature. This is the same feature that was introduced in last year's MyCAREER mode, where players need to climb the goat leaderboard.

It even works in pretty much the same way, with milestones earning you goat points, which help you climb the rankings, and surpass other legends of the game.

So 2K simply picked up the feature on which the MyCAREER mode was built around, in NBA 2K24, and implemented it in The W, like it's some revolutionary new feature, that will make The W the best it has ever been.

Spoiler alert, it isn't, and doing things like this is a detriment to The W, as it makes the mode seem like the little brother of MyCAREER, getting its older brother clothes, features in this case, when they don't fit on them anymore.

This also applies to the second biggest feature coming to The W in NBA 2K25, which is "fully voiced press conferences", a feature that has been in MyCAREER mode for ages. In a way, calling them new features is somewhat disingenuous, as there is a mode, in your game, that had these features previously.

The best feature coming to this game mode in NBA 2K25 is the addition of a new court to The W Online, which is good, but let's be honest, it's not going to be a game-changer and captivate players to the mode.

On top of that, we still won't have female characters in The Park, which doesn't make sense. Why can't users play with their female characters in The Park? Where many game modes allow players to compete against each other, showcasing their skills, and having a great time while doing so.

This is a huge missed opportunity by 2K and something that would, even if indirectly, make The W a better, and more popular game mode.

If 2K really wants to make The W stand out, as it should, then they need to introduce actual new features, that improve the gaming experience, and make the mode more immersive, entertaining, and unique.

Make The W something unique, not an inferior version of MyCAREER, which unfortunately is what the mode currently is, but something the fans have a reason to play.

In the Madden 25 Franchise mode, players can relocate their team to a new city, with every city having two features, market size, and personality, and both will have a huge impact on the success of the Franchise.

Choosing to relocate a Franchise is a way to start from scratch, and build a legacy in a new city, with a new team name, and different challenges. Depending on the city users choose to relocate, winning a Lombardi trophy can become harder or easier.

All Relocation Cities in Madden 25

There are a total of 34 relocation cities in Madden 25, with different market sizes and personalities.

When relocating their franchise Madden players can choose to keep the team's name and logo, or opt for a fresh start, with a new name, logo, and uniforms.

The new branding players choose will have an impact on the fans' interest in that team, so that is something users need to be aware of.

Without further ado, here are all the relocation cities in Madden 25:

When relocating to a new city, the best option is picking one that has a huge market size, and either a loyal or hardcore fan base. This will make it easier to attract big-name players and generate money from ticket and jersey sales.

However, for players who prefer more of a challenge, a small city with a loyal fan base will provide just that. No matter the city players choose to relocate to, it will affect their journey in Franchise mode, which can make it more entertaining.

In Madden 25, it's crucial players know how to perform a high throw pass, something veteran Madden players are well aware of.

A high throw pass can be very difficult to perform, especially for users who are new to the Madden franchise, but players must master this mechanic.

The high pass is great when trying to get the ball out to the wide receiver, or a tight end. It's incredibly useful when players need to earn a lot of yards to get a 1st down, or if their receiver is wide-open and has a free path to the end zone.

How to Perform a High Throw Pass in Madden 25

Before performing a high throw pass, players need to have their eyes on the receiver and where he is on the pitch.

Once players have identified the receiver they want to pass to, they need to hold L1 on PlayStation or LB on Xbox, and then press the corresponding receiver icon.

Doing this will make the quarterback execute a high throw pass to the receiver, who can then proceed to a touchdown, secure a 1st down, or gain some valuable yards.

New players to the Madden franchise might find the corresponding receiver icon’ a bit confusing. However, it's just the icon that pops up on top of the receiver in the playing interface.

Once players hold the L1 or LB button, all available receivers get various controller icons assigned to them, users will see the icons displayed above their heads.

If a player's desired receiver is assigned the X icon (on PlayStation), or A icon (on Xbox), pressing this key on the controller will execute the high throw pass. So users need to be observant of the playing field when attempting to execute a high throw pass.

It's very important players see if their receiver is wide open, and if there isn't a deep safety on the field, as a high throw to a receiver who is covered may lead to an easy interception.

Players should also master all the Madden 25 controls if they want to have an advantage over their opponents, which can secure them a lot of wins.

The Bob and Brad Q2 Pro Mini Massage Gun is a compact, pocket-sized gem, engineered to provide quick and effective relief from muscle soreness and pain, while also serving as an excellent tool for pre-workout muscle activation. In fact, the Q2 Pro is an incredibly versatile device, particularly with its significant upgrade from the original Q2 model: a brand-new head attachment that delivers both hot and cold therapy. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be sent one to test and to figure out whether its price tag of $89.99 in the US and £99.99 in the UK is worth it compared to its $20/£20 cheaper Q2 predecessor.

Before diving into the review, let me briefly introduce myself. While I am far from a professional athlete, I maintain an active lifestyle. I weight train in the gym at least four days a week and play football twice a week. However, I also work a desk job, which means I'm no stranger to the typical aches and pains associated with prolonged sitting, compounded by the muscle soreness that comes with regular, intense physical activity.

Given my experience with these daily discomforts, I was particularly eager to see if the Q2 Pro could aid in my recovery and overall well-being. Therefore, I wasted no time in unboxing it upon arrival, ready to put it to the test.

Design

After unboxing the device, it was immediately clear the Bob and Brad Q2 Pro had been designed with both portability and convenience in mind. Weighing just 0.95 lbs, it’s incredibly lightweight and compact, even with all attachments thanks to its stylish and premium feeling carry case. This is particularly handy to have, as it meant I could take it to the gym to help with my warmups using its percussion movements and deep tissue massages. The device’s grippy coating adds to its overall premium feel too, ensuring a secure and comfortable hold during use.

Charging is made simple thanks to the USB-C connection and cable included. The massage gun also features a useful color-coded battery life indicator, which allowed me to easily monitor its remaining power to avoid the situation of it running out of charge mid-use. The hot and cold therapy attachment also has a green light that remains continuously lit when fully charged.

One feature I really liked was the Q2 Pros automatic shut-off after 10 minutes of use. I think this is an incredibly handy safety addition as it can help to prevent overuse on your body, and it helps to avoid the device causing mayhem if left on and unattended.

Additionally, the included manual is a resource I found very valuable, offering detailed guidance on how to effectively massage different areas of your body. It also provides recommended times for each area, ensuring that you get the most out of your massage experience.

Performance

Evaluating the performance of the Bob and Brad Q2 Pro is challenging as it is hard to measure its effectiveness quantitatively. Therefore, I am basing its performance on how it made myself and the muscles I used it on feel more than anything. To that end, I am pleased to report it performed relatively well.

After using it for around a week, I found that the brushless motor operated smoothly across all five speed settings (ranging from 1800 to 3000 RPM) and did so quietly. The massage gun features a single button for cycling through the speeds, which simplifies its use, though it does mean having to go through each speed sequentially. Thankfully, small lights on the handle helped me figure out its current speed and how much more it had to give.

In terms of effectiveness, the fastest setting proved to be the most beneficial for me personally, delivering a more intense massage that was particularly effective for short, focused use. The device only offers one continuous massage pattern rather than pulsating or similar techniques, but the different massage heads mean it can and did, at least in my case, provide a range of experiences. Each head, as explained in the manual, is designed for specific uses, body parts, and muscle groups, adding versatility to the device and effectiveness across an entire body.

As touched on, its ability to provide both hot and cold therapy is its main upgrade over the Pro model. Cold therapy turned out to be a standout feature that pleasantly surprised me. After just a few minutes of use following a weights session, I felt significant relief, especially in my shoulders and front delts; an area that typically gets overworked during upper body exercises. The cold therapy felt truly refreshing, even at its lowest setting (two settings in total), and was a noticeable benefit of this device. In contrast, the heat therapy didn’t quite measure up; even in the hottest setting (again, two settings), the warmth was not as impactful as the cold therapy in alleviating muscle pain. I thought it would maybe prove more effective at, well, warming up my muscles for training, but I did not notice the immediate impact of the heat compared to the immediate impact of the cold therapy.

As for the massage heads, the air cushion attachment became a favorite of mine for targeting larger muscle groups, while the U-shaped head was particularly useful for my shoulders, back, and calves at higher speeds. On the other hand, the ball head, despite being the default in many massage guns, was the least used during my testing. That is not to say I did not use it; I simply found it to be the least effective at alleviating pain and soreness. The bullet head, however, proved very useful for smaller, often sore muscles like the front delts, as mentioned earlier, and pain in the lower back. That being said, my go-to attachment was still the cold therapy head, which is a huge plus point for the Q2 Pro in comparison to its Q2 predecessor.

Verdict

When it comes to deciding whether the Q2 Pro, which includes cold and heat therapy, is worth the additional cost of around $20/£20, I would lean towards saying it might be. While the heat did not provide the relief or muscle activation I expected, I found the cold therapy highly effective and something I used and will continue to use regularly.

Overall, the Bob and Brad Q2 Pro Mini Massage Gun delivers solid performance, with its cold therapy feature and versatile massage heads helping it stand out from the crowd, alongside its pocket-friendly size. While the heat therapy might not justify the extra cost on its own, the device overall offers a good balance of simplicity and effectiveness for muscle relief, all of which come at a reasonably inexpensive price.

Bob and Brad Q2 Pro

Solid performance, standout cold therapy, and five versatile massage heads—the Bob and Brad Q2 Pro is a gem of a massage gun made even better by its compact size, handy carry case, and reasonable price tag compared to its competitors.

Rating:9 out of 10

Madden 25 is here, and fans didn't waste any time before jumping into the latest installment of the Madden franchise, which promises to build upon the success of the previous year's release.

With each new iteration, finding the best value players becomes a crucial strategy for success, especially in Franchise mode. Identifying the fastest and cheapest players is key for those who love to build dominant teams without breaking the bank.

The Five Fastest and Cheapest Players in Madden 25 Franchise Mode

These hidden gems offer the speed and agility needed to make game-changing plays, without the high cost of top-rated stars. They are a great addition to most squads, especially for those undergoing a rebuilding process.

5 - Channing Tindall - 67 OVR - Dolphins - MLB

Channing Tindall is an excellent option for those looking to add speed to their linebacker pool. With 91 speed, 94 acceleration, and 95 jumping, Tindall can swiftly run the field, breaking up plays with ease.

However, his low awareness (64), man coverage (57), and zone coverage (53) make him a liability if left to the CPU. He is best used as a user-controlled player, where his physical attributes can truly shine.

4- Ben VanSumeren - 57 OVR - Eagles - MLB

Similar to Tindall, Ben VanSumeren has an impressive speed and when combined with his size at 6'2" he is certainly a force to be reckoned with. Although his overall rating is low at 57, his physical stats make him a valuable, budget-friendly option.

VanSumeren is a solid choice for players who prefer to control their linebackers manually, as his speed allows him to cover ground quickly, disrupting offensive plays.

3 - Troy Andersen - 65 OVR - Falcons - MLB

Troy Andersen, a fan favorite from Madden 24, returns in Madden 25 with impressive speed (91) and acceleration (93). Standing at 6'4", Andersen is a sight to behold on the field. While his awareness is better than some at 72, his coverage stats remain subpar.

He is more reliable when controlled by the CPU compared to others on this list, but still shines best under user control for aggressive playmaking.

2 - Jarrick Bernard - Converse - 65 OVR - Jets - FS

For players who prefer a fast safety, Jarrick Bernard-Converse is a top pick. His 93 speed, 93 acceleration, and 95 jumping make him a formidable presence in the secondary.

With decent hit power (72) for a low-rated free safety, Bernard-Converse can break up passes and cover deep threats. The combination of speed and jumping makes him an ideal choice for users looking to bolster their defense on a budget.

1 - JT Woods - 68 OVR - Chargers - FS

JT Woods rounds out the list as another speedy free safety option. With 93 speed, 93 acceleration, and 93 jumping, Woods can keep up with even the fastest receivers.

His size at 6'2" allows him to contest catches effectively. Woods is a versatile addition to any team, particularly for those looking to improve their secondary without spending too much on higher-rated players.

These are the cheapest players with a massive speed to their name. While they won’t be the most creative players on the field, they can certainly add speed, athleticism, and depth to your team.

Madden 25 is the new title in the Madden series, marking the second time the game will be released under this name.

The original Madden 25 debuted in 2013 to celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary, and now, over a decade later, the series returns with new features and improvements.

One of the gameplay mechanics that players need to get a grip on is the ability to call audibles, which can change the outcome of a play in an instant. This guide will explain how to call and customize audibles so users can outperform any opponent and collect many wins.

How to Audible in Madden 25

To call an audible in Madden 25, players need to press the Square button on PlayStation or the X button on Xbox, which brings up the audible menu. This menu allows users to change the entire play, adjust the defensive formation, or change a specific player's route before the ball is snapped.

Audibles are the primary weapon of any player who wants to adapt to their opponent’s strategy on the fly, allowing users to counter their formation and tactics as they play out.

For example, if players notice that their opponent is stacking the box in anticipation of a running play, they can quickly switch to a passing play to exploit their defense setting.

Similarly, if the star wide receiver is in a favorable one-on-one situation, players can adjust his route and shoot him toward a touchdown without a hitch.

On defense, audibles allow users to respond to the offense's formation by changing their defensive setup, such as stacking the box if they anticipate a run or switching to a zone coverage if they expect a pass.

While this is not an easy mechanic to master, players can always practice it in offline games, and in the practice mode, before heading into competitive matches.

Another thing that is as important as knowing how to call an audible, is mastering the other Madden 25 controls, as this will give players a huge advantage over their opponents.

Most of the questions have easy answers, however, some are quite tricky. This interview can't be retaken, so it's crucial players get as many answers right as possible.

Madden 25 Interview Questions and Answers

After creating their superstar, and going through the revamped NFL Combine, players will have the chance to attend a Combine interview and answer some questions, to increase their draft stock.

Users should always choose to attend the interview, as it can improve their attributes, stats, and ranking in the draft board, which will help players get drafted early.

This interview has ten questions, that will put players' NFL and Madden knowledge to the test. The questions aren't always the same, so if users create a new Superstar character, and attend the interview, they will be met with different questions.

That's why it's so important to know the answers to all of the NFL Combine interview questions.

Here are all the Madden 25 Superstar mode NFL Combine interview answers:

RealSport will update this article regularly, adding any new questions, answers, or other changes, to make sure players can ace their NFL Combine interview.

Players should also take a look at the Madden 25 controls guide, as Superstar mode will also demand users to excel on the field, and not only in the press room.

Madden 25 is here, meaning players can finally experience the ultimate football simulation game, which introduced big gameplay improvements, that most players have been enjoying so far.

However, players who want the most authentic experience possible will still need to make some changes to the game sliders. With these changes, the Madden 25 gameplay will feel even more authentic, realistic, and immersive.

Madden 25 Sliders

Sliders allow players to adjust different aspects of the game, such as QB accuracy, fumbles, injuries, and fatigue, among many others. They can be changed for the CPU or the user, and allow players more customization over the game.

To obtain the most realistic experience possible in Madden 25, some sliders need to be adjusted. These changes will make the game feel more authentic in areas such as blocking, defensive awareness, and interceptions, at the same time, they will provide users with a more challenging experience.

How to Change Sliders in Madden 25

To change sliders in Madden 25, players simply need to go to the main menu and access the settings tab.

In the settings tab, players will have access to a lot of different gameplay settings, such as game options, penalties, player skill, CPU skill, visual feedback, and more.

These are the settings users need to change to edit the Madden 25 sliders and make the gameplay feel as realistic as possible.

Game Options For a Realistic Madden 25 Experience

As mentioned above, these sliders will make the gameplay much more realistic, and enjoyable. This is great for Franchise players who want to experience the most authentic gameplay experience possible, as it also makes the mode more immersive.

Realistic Madden 25 Penalty Sliders

Penalties can change the momentum of a game, and if they are set too low might occur too often, breaking the immersion of the game, and also making it less enjoyable.

For a realistic gameplay experience it's crucial players use these settings:

Madden 25 Player and CPU Realistic Sliders

These sliders affect both the user and CPU player's actions, making them as realistic as possible. They will impact things such as QB accuracy, run blocking, receiver-catching ability, and pass coverage, among others.

To have the most realistic Madden 25 gameplay experience, players will need to adjust the following sliders:

After applying all the sliders, players can head into the field, and enjoy a realistic game of football. Users will notice some significant differences in the gameplay, as it will be way less arcade-like.

But before players take the field, they should first master all of the Madden 25 controls, as this will give them a huge advantage over their opponents.

There is nothing more important than mastering the Madden 25 controls, especially for players who are extremely competitive and want to win every game they play.

Knowing the ins and outs of these controls will give players a big advantage over their opponents, be it the CPU or real players. It will help users win a lot of games in Franchise mode, and showcase their skills on Ultimate Team.

Madden 25 Controls

There are two control categories in Madden 25, and just like in College Football 25, they are defense and offense, with both being equally important.

Inside defense and offense, we have sub-categories, that make it easier for players to search for the controls of a specific mechanic in the game. Some of these sub-categories are passing, defensive coverage, blocking, and ballcarrier, among many others.

To have success on Madden 25, especially in online modes, it's crucial to master all of these controls, and this guide was crafted to help players with that.

Madden 25 Offense Controls

It's impossible to win games without scoring points, and that's why the Madden 25 offense controls are incredibly important to learn, and of course, master.

There are a total of five sub-categories in the offense controls, which are ball carrier, passing, preplay, and ball-in-the-air, and users will need to master all of them to become an offensive genius and dominate opposing defenses.

These controls will have an impact on all the Madden 25 game modes, and a good understanding of them can be the difference between a win or a loss, a Super Bowl title or a disappointing finals loss, an incredible late game win in Ultimate Team or a soul-crushing defeat.

Ballcarrier Controls

For players who like to run the football, learning the ballcarrier controls is essential, as it will take their running game to a new level.

Be it with a running back, or a quarterback, it's crucial users know how to protect the ball when carrying it, use the juke or spin to create separation from opponents, throw the ball laterally for an open teammate, and of course celebrate after a big play.

Passing Controls

While knowing how to run the football is very important, so is passing, as it offers users a plethora of offensive options.

A perfect pass can completely dismantle a defense, allowing the receiver to win many yards, and even reach the end zone, or secure that very important first down, to keep the drive alive.

Passing is one of the biggest weapons Madden 25 players can have in their arsenal, so becoming a master at it will come in handy in many situations.

Preplay Offense Controls

Football is like chess, and users need to move their pieces in a way that gets them closer to a checkmate.

Pre-play allows players to adapt their offensive strategy after analyzing the opponent's defense, by changing the receiver routes, asking for pass protection to their offensive line, trying a fake snap to catch the defense off-guard and force a penalty, and calling an audible, changing the play call completely.

Preplay is an extremely important feature to master, as it will allow players to quickly adapt to the opponent's strategy pre-snap.

Ball in Air Controls

Despite being one sub-category of the offense controls, the Ball in Air controls are also used on defense.

These controls are very useful, as they let players choose which type of catch they want their receivers to perform, such as a normal possession catch, or an aggressive catch.

At the same time, users can also use these controls on defense, to swat the ball, switch the player they are controlling, or even get an important interception.

Madden 25 Defense Controls

Perhaps even more important than being able to score a plethora of points, is preventing opponents from doing the same, as this will make players' task of securing wins much easier, and also less stressful.

Similar to the offense controls, there are also sub-categories in the defense controls, and these are preplay, defensive engaged, defensive pursuit, defensive coverage, blocking, and player locker receiver.

As the saying goes, defense wins championships, so mastering these controls is something every player must do.

Preplay Defense Controls

These controls allow players to quickly change their defensive strategy pre-snap, answering the changes made by the offense in real-time. Just like the offense can change routes, and call audibles, so can the defense.

Users can also change the position of their players, adjust the defensive line or linebackers, ask players to press, or even disguise the coverage, which can catch many users off guard.

Defensive Engaged Controls

These controls are used after the snap when users are only controlling a single player, and they allow players to speed rush to tackle an opponent or cover a passing lane, swat a ball in the middle of the air, and switch to a different player.

They are easier controls to master, but that doesn't mean they aren't as important as the rest of the defensive controls.

Defensive Pursuit Controls

Tackling players, forcing fumbles, stopping ballcarriers, these controls allow users to do just that.

Some are easier to master than others, such as the dive tackler, or the breakdown tackle, but the hardest ones to learn, hit and cut stick, are the strongest this year, and if well performed, can stop players right in their track and also cause a lot of fumbles.

Defensive Coverage Controls

The Defensive Coverage controls allow users to move players, pre-snap or after it, change their positions on the field, block passing routes, tackle ballcarriers, assist other defensive players, and pressure receivers so that they can't make a successful catch.

Blocking Controls

Blocking is a big part of the defense, as it can prevent players from gaining yards, and users can also use it to get past the opponent's offensive line and reach the quarterback, forcing a sack or a fumble.

This puts a lot of pressure on the offense and makes it harder for the quarterback to read the defense.

Player Locker Receiver Controls

These controls allow users to control a single defensive player, having full control of that player, while the AI controls the rest of the defense. However, players can opt out of player lock whenever they want.

This is a great feature if a user wants to lockdown an opposing star receiver, as it can use player lock to only control the defender that is attributed to that receiver.

Here is everything users need to know about the Madden 25 controls to master them and become unbeatable in the field.

Will Madden 25 be on PS4? | Everything You Need to Know About the Madden 25 Editions | Madden 25 First Impressions Gather Mostly Positive Reactions From Fans | Best Playbooks In Madden 25

A great playbook can make players' offense and defense unstoppable, making it much easier to get points on the board, and painfully hard for the opponents to find success against their defense.

That's why it's crucial to know which are the best offense and defense playbooks in Madden 25, as they can be the difference between winning and losing.

Best Offense Playbooks in Madden 25

Steamrolling opponents on Madden 25 is one of the best feelings players can have, but that is only possible with a great offensive game, and users need a fantastic playbook for that.

In Madden 25, players can find success with an aerial assault or ground-and-pound approach, as long as they have a great playbook.

The Green Bay Packers playbook is widely regarded as the best playbook in Madden 25. This playbook is very balanced but excels in shotgun plays, offering a plethora of different formations that were meta in past editions and are still incredibly strong.

Formations such as Tight Y Off, Trips TE, Bunch Wide, Bunch Str Offset, and also Bunch TE, are all a part of this playbook. It's great for veteran Madden players, as it contains a lot of plays they will be familiar with, but also for rookie users, as these formations are very strong, and will make scoring much easier.

For players who want to have a good mixture of passing and running the football, then the Baltimore Ravens playbook is the perfect one.

This playbook contains some good shotgun formations, while also having some other unique formations, such as Heavy Raven, which heavily relies on the quarterback running the football. It also has the U Off Trips formation, which is new to the game, and provides a lot of different plays, with read options, RPOs, HB sweep, and many others.

The Ravens playbook can catch opponents off guard if they aren't familiar with it, and is incredibly strong when users have a fast quarterback, such as Lamar Jackson, Justin Fields, and Kyler Murray, among others.

Another playbook players need to at least try out is the Indianapolis Colts playbook.

This playbook is also shotgun-heavy, but it has something that differentiates it from the rest, as it contains the Bunch Offset formation. Furthermore, as of the time of writing, it's the only playbook in the game with the Double Post play, which has been one of the best plays in Madden for years.

Best Defensive Playbooks in Madden 25

It's almost impossible to win games without getting stops, and that's why having a good defensive playbook is crucial, as it can help players nullify their opponents, and secure easy wins.

The Kansas City Chiefs defensive playbook is the best one in Madden 25, as it contains some great formations, such as 4-3 Even 6-1, and Big Nickel Over G, which is great for veteran players who excel at making cover adjustments, Nickel 3-3, and Dime 3-2.

These formations provide a good pass rush, allow users to pressure the quarterback, and have the ability to make a plethora of adjustments. Dime 3-2 also has many new formations which can come in handy, especially when players are trying to surprise their opponent.

In second place we have the Multiple D playbook, which contains some great defensive formations, such as Nickel 3-3, and Dime 3-2, both of which are also in the Kansas City Chiefs playbook, and the 3-4 Odd one.

This playbook contains some great blitzing plays, allowing users to put a lot of pressure on the opposing offensive line. It also has great zone-cover plays, making it an all-around solid playbook.

The Eagles defensive playbook is also one players need to try out, as it contains great formations, unique plays, and the 3-3-5 Penny formation allows for a lot of player adjustments, that many other formations don't.

These playbooks can help players take their defense to the next level, and secure a lot of wins in Ultimate Team, or Franchise mode.

Madden 25 was one of the most anticipated sports games of 2024, and as soon as the early access began, players didn't waste time, picked up their controllers, and tried out the new entry in the Madden franchise.

Surprisingly, most users' first impressions of the game have been positive, especially when it comes to its gameplay. However, there are also some things fans aren't enjoying.

The Best Madden Gameplay in a Long Time

According to many players, the Madden 25 gameplay is great, with some going as far as saying it's the best gameplay of a Madden title in years.

Players are enjoying the new BOOM Tech feature, as it creates more realistic collisions, and tackles, which makes the gameplay more dynamic and immersive.

The player movements look more authentic, and a lot of users are also enjoying the revamped hit stick, which is harder to master, but delivers some satisfying tackles when well-timed.

Most users are enjoying the Madden 25 gameplay so far, as it's been providing an entertaining but also authentic gaming experience, that does a great job walking the fine line between simulation and arcade that most sports titles struggle with.

A Vastly Improved UI

Another thing the Madden community loved is the new UI, which looks incredibly better than in Madden 24. The menus are also much faster, and easier to navigate, making the player's experience more enjoyable.

This might not seem that important, or a huge upgrade, for many users, but when we take into account just how slow the Madden 24 menus were, having a responsive menu, that also looks good, is a huge quality of life improvement.

Franchise Mode Leaves A Lot to Desire

There is one thing the majority of the Madden community agrees with, and it's that the Franchise mode changes were underwhelming, with some saying the new features actually make the mode less immersive, and fun to play.

Franchise cutscenes are something many players don't like, as according to some users they are slow, and might even glitch the game, which is less than ideal.

It's also worth noting that players who choose to start a franchise save as the owner won't have any of the new cutscenes, and scenarios, available, at least at the time of writing. Hopefully, this is something EA Sports is quick to fix.

All in all, users are enjoying Madden 25 so far, especially the gameplay, which normally is under a lot of criticism. So it's great to see the new Madden title is providing players with an entertaining gaming experience.

The juke mechanic is one of the best ones to create separation from defenders in Madden 25, allowing players to earn some extra yards, which can be game-changing sometimes.

Because of that, mastering the juke mechanic is very important, as it will give users an advantage over their opponents, and a way out of hard situations.

How to Juke in Madden 25

The juke mechanic is quite easy to perform, and Madden console players only need to flick the right stick to the side they want to perform the juke. So flicking the right stick to the right for a right juke, to the left for a left juke, and down to perform a dead leg juke.

This process is slightly different for PC players, as they have to press A for a left juke, D for a right juke, and S to do the dead leg juke.

Timing is key when it comes to juke moves in Madden 25, as a well-timed juke can leave opponents in the dust, laying down the red carpet for the end zone, a first down, or just a good gain of yards.

Jukes will be performed by running backs and wide receivers, the majority of the time, as they are the biggest offensive threats of most teams, and are the ones that will have the ball in their hands most of the time.

That's why learning how to juke in Madden 25 is so important, as it can be the difference between a five-yard or a 10-yard gain in a running play, a first-down conversion, or even a touchdown.

Like most things in life, practice makes perfect when it comes to mastering the juke mechanic. So players should head into the practice mode, and practice their jukes there until they become second nature.

This is everything players need to know about the juke mechanic in Madden 25, and how to master it.

With the release of NBA 2K25 getting closer and closer, more information about the game has been released, and this time 2K revealed all the new features coming to MyNBA.

MyNBA is arguably the most popular offline mode in NBA 2K, but there hasn't been a lot of innovation in past years. However, 2K is adding some great features to the mode this year, as well as bringing back the beloved MyGM mode to current-gen.

MyGM is Back and Better than Ever!

That's right, the MyGM mode is back, for current-gen, and it's completely revamped, introducing many features that will significantly improve the player's immersion.

Now players can choose their backstory, which will affect their initial attributes, and provide users with different ways to play MyGM.

There are five different backstory options and all of them improve a specific attribute, which is great, as it makes MyGM more of a roleplaying mode, and provides every player with a unique gaming experience.

How players allocate their attribute points is very important, as it will make their character excel in a specific area, which in turn impacts their playstyle, and journey in MyGM.

MYGM now also has perks, which boost players' skills. Players will be able to select the perks they want and will unlock new perks by reaching milestones. Furthermore, perks will impact a GM's skills on and off the basketball court.

This is yet another feature that makes the mode more RPG-like and allows players to customize their experience. It will definitely impact how users play the mode, as different milestones will force players to focus on different aspects of the game.

But perhaps the biggest feature of this revamped MyGM mode is dynamic conversations, which allows users to talk with players and staff, something that is key when it comes to running a real-life basketball franchise, so it's good to see that is also on the game.

There are fewer conversations now, but they have a bigger impact. This is a good decision by 2K, as no one wants to be overwhelmed by conversations that aren't that important, as previously they would become quite boring, and even annoying, with players just skipping through them.

2K is also introducing the MyGM building, for current-gen that is, which can be somewhat of a polarizing feature.

Being able to walk around the building, and having to go to the office of a specific staff member to talk to them makes the mode more immersive, but in the long term, it can also start to feel like a shore, as it makes things take longer to do.

All in all, the mode has all the features to be immersive and provide a unique and entertaining gaming experience. Most MyGM fans will certainly be happy with these changes, and its return to the current-gen consoles.

A Lateral Move for MyNBA

While the MyGM additions were fantastic, the new MyNBA features feel like a lateral move and not something that will really move the needle, or massively improve the player's experiences.

The Steph Era was added and will allow players to relive the golden days of the Golden State Warriors. That's an okay new feature and an interesting Era to have in the mode, however, allowing players to start their MyNBA save in the exact year they wanted would be a much better addition.

League Expansions and Contractions were revamped, and the NBA Cup now has "more in-depth integration into MyNBA modes". These aren't big changes, and there is an argument to be had if they even have an impact on the game mode.

While the MyGM changes were exciting and interesting, the MyNBA features were underwhelming, making players feel it's just another year of slight improvements, that don't really make the mode more enjoyable, entertaining, or immersive.

What do you think of the return of MyGM, and the new features coming to MyNBA? Let us know in the comments below.

TopSpin 2K25 was one of the most anticipated sports games of 2024, and for a good reason, it marked the return of the historic TopSpin franchise, which left Tennis fans extremely excited.

However, despite a successful launch, TopSpin 2K25 has been on a downward spiral, seeing a significant decrease in popularity and player base. So unless a huge change happens, it seems TopSpin 2K25 is running towards its "death".

TopSpin 2K25 Lack of Content is Killing the Game

The TopSpin community hasn't been happy with the game for quite some time, and content, or its lack of it, is the main reason.

Two months ago I wrote about why the TopSpin 2K25 community was rightfully upset with the state of the game, explaining the main concerns of the community, and the biggest problems in the game. Unfortunately, since then things have only got worse, and it seems the game has entered its "walking dead" stage.

TopSpin 2K25's biggest problems persist, an incredibly small roster, a MyCAREER mode that feels repetitive, and the lack of meaningful content.

Season 3 is around the corner, and the only things that will be added to the game are, "a new female playable pro", and a new Centre Court Pass, which will most likely consist of a plethora of different apparel, that the majority of players couldn't care less about.

Yes, having a lot of customization options is great, but that can't be the only thing when it comes to new content. This is a Tennis game, not The Sims, players want new events, more players added to the roster, and new venues, things that make the game feel fresh, and can captivate users to come back.

What makes this incredibly frustrating, is that 2K proved it can do this, just take a look at NBA 2K24, which has weekly events, a lot of different ways to play the game, especially when it comes to using your MyPLAYER, and every new Season introduces a lot of content. The NBA 2K model is not perfect by any means, but it's still much better than what we are getting in TopSpin 2K25.

It's clear the formula is to introduce just one player per season, which won't fix the roster problem. Communication from the developers with the community has been scarce, especially lately, which isn't a good sign, and makes the community feel like they don't matter, alienating even more players from the game.

When you combine everything, it's easy to see why TopSpin 2K25 has been on a downward spiral, and it seems they aren't that far from hitting rock bottom, which is a shame because the game had a lot of potential.

Players are wondering what's next for TopSpin 2K25, and it's very hard to tell, but it doesn't seem it's anything good.

What do you think of the state of TopSpin 2K25, and what does 2K need to do to revitalize the game? Let us know in the comments below!

2K has announced all the new features coming to MyCAREER & MyPLAYER mode in NBA 2K25, and while some of them are good additions, others, well, not so much.

It's clear that 2K wants to make the game accessible, and intuitive, as some new features accomplished that, but others just feel like a lateral change or even a huge missed opportunity.

Let's find out why!

The Best MyPLAYER Builder Ever

In NBA 2K25 the MyPLAYER builder will look better, and more detailed, than ever.

A plethora of new archetypes for players to choose from were introduced, but that was already expected, the real big change is that players now have way more access to information about their build.

Players can now preview all assets of their build, such as badges, takeovers, jump shot animations, dunk packages, and signature animations. These last three are massive, as players can now know if their build allows them to equip a specific jump shot or dunk package, which is great.

In NBA 2K24, many players were locked out of good jump shots because their builds didn't have the required mid-range, or three-point attributes to equip it, and this solves that problem. It also makes the game more accessible for new players, as most would struggle when creating their character, and this makes it much easier.

A new Takeover system was also introduced, with a total of 72 Takeovers, and 14 Takeover abilities, all targeting different attributes. Every Takeover now has five levels, and by performing well on the court, players' Takeovers will gradually increase in level, boosting their attributes.

This is a welcomed change that gives more depth to the Takeover feature and makes it more impactful, as players' attributes will be boosted at every level. It might not be game-changing, but it's a positive change, at least on paper.

The badge system was also revamped, with NBA 2K25 having only 40 badges, but with each one of them being much more impactful than in previous years, the badge progression system also remains pretty much unchanged.

This is a great change, made even better by the fact that badge regression was removed from the game, something the community was asking for. The community complained about this feature a lot on NBA 2K24, and for good reasons, so it's great to see it gone.

It made no sense to put in many hours just to progress a badge to a certain level, and then see it regress because you didn't use it that much in a handful of games.

NBA 2K25 is also introducing Badge Elevators, which can boost players' badges, and increase the attribute ratings of players' certain attributes, above the ones shown in the MyPLAYER builder.

A higher badge level than Hall of Fame was also introduced, with the Legend badges arriving at the game. However, there still isn't a lot of information about this badge level, apart from the fact they have the highest attribute requirements to unlock and provide players with incredible boosts.

Badges being more impactful sounds great, and maintaining the progression system is good while getting rid of badge regression is the best decision 2K has made in a long time. Badge Elevators seem like an interesting addition, but it's hard to judge it.

So Much Missed Potential for MyCAREER

When it comes to MyCAREER in NBA 2K25, the only change is the addition of the Hear of a Dynasty feature, which basically replaces the G.O.A.T ranking, as players will battle to win championships and climb the Dynasty rankings.

This is literally a lateral move and doesn't add anything groundbreaking to the game. 2K simply changed a ranked system for another, and that's about it.

But there is a new feature in MyCAREER that has a lot of untapped potential. Players will be able to relieve their character journey to the NBA, relieving their high school and Fiba games.

However, this is simply part of a flashback story, which begs the question, why not give players the chance to create their journey from high school, or overseas to the NBA?

It would make the game mode more immersive and enjoyable, and 2K certainly has the resources to make this come to fruition. This feature had a lot of potential, but it felt short, which is a big shame, as MyCAREER would benefit a lot from a feature such as this one.

What do you think about these changes? Let us know in the comments below!

The College Football 25 August title update is here, and it introduced a lot of changes, which affect the gameplay, Dynasty mode, and Ultimate Team, and also fixed a plethora of bugs.

This update aims to continue to make College Football 25 feel fresh, while at the same time tackling most of the problems players have encountered recently.

Gameplay Changes

Gameplay changes are always the most important thing in any update, as they affect all modes in the game. This College Football 25 title update introduced a lot of gameplay changes, with many being bug fixes, but plenty of others were adjustments or new features.

The biggest gameplay change was the addition of eight new shotgun formations to 35 teams, such as Texas Tech, Kansas State, and Florida, among others.

After that, we have the AI adjustments made to QB behavior and offensive line behavior. This was done for the AI QBs to throw more lob throws instead of bullet passes on shot plays, and for them to be less aggressive, based on their awareness rating.

As for the offensive line AI, it was adjusted so that fewer illegal man downfield penalties will happen during RPO plays.

DBs will now be more effective at shedding blocks on the perimeter, QBs will lose stamina at a faster rate when scrambling behind the line, and the speed penalty for running out of stamina in a play was also increased.

Abilities were rebalanced, especially the juke and spin move Gold and Platinum abilities. The effectiveness of the Quick Jump Ability on Gold and Platinum tiers was also balanced.

Recruiting Became More Realistic in Dynasty Mode

Recruiting is a big part of Dynasty mode, so it's understandable why most of the changes implemented were made with that feature in mind.

This title update fixed many bugs players were experiencing on recruiting, such as not being able to schedule visits, or AI schools going after way too many quarterbacks.

But the two biggest changes to recruiting this update introduced are, reducing the number of unrecruited four and five-star players early in the season, and increasing the number of prospects that the AI will go after at the same time.

With this, it will be harder for players of smaller colleges to recruit fours star players, or find ones that aren't being targeted by AI schools, which was a very popular, and effective, recruiting tactic until now.

But this title update didn't focus only on Recruiting when it comes to the Dynasty mode, as SuperSim was massively improved, to make the gap between bad and good teams, and players, feel bigger and more realistic.

This was one of the biggest problems in Dynasty mode, especially in the first few weeks after launch, with FCS schools winning games against much stronger opponents, resulting in a plethora of unrealistic results. Since then, many changes have been made to make SuperSim as realistic as possible, and this is just one more.

Many fixes to Road to Glory and Ultimate Team

This title update addressed a lot of problems in the Road to Glory and Ultimate Team modes, fixing a plethora of bugs, such as the game crashing when players exited a Position Battle, or not being able to equip a mental ability when creating a Road to Glory character.

Apart from the fixes, there weren't any huge changes or improvements made to both modes. However, the fact many bugs were fixed will undoubtedly make the modes better and more entertaining, so you can consider that a big improvement.

It's also worth noting that new uniforms were added and that many stadiums received updates, as well as other presentation changes, which can make the modes more immersive.

You can check the College Football 25 August Title Update gridiron notes, to see all the changes introduced.

The best middle linebackers in Madden 25 Ultimate Team have been revealed, and this amazed fans, gathering some mixed reactions from the community, as is the case with most Madden ratings.

These players are absolute defensive monsters, as they are fast, agile, strong against the run and passing game, and incredibly fast at recognizing the play the offense is going to run.

Best Middle Linebackers in Madden 25 Ultimate Team

A good defense is crucial to success in the Ultimate Team mode, just like it is in real football.

Having players who are great against the run and the passing game, will make your opponent's jobs incredibly harder, and middle linebackers are players who excel at those two things.

Here are the ten best middle linebackers in Madden 25 Ultimate Team:

As you can see, Fred Warner and Roquan Smith are the two best linebackers in Madden 25 Ultimate Team, even if just for a slight margin. Demario Davis comes in close third place and possesses some great attributes, such as 80 speed, 80 acceleration, 83 tackle, and 83 play recognition.

These three players stand out from the rest, and you should definitely add them to your squad, if you have the chance to do so, of course. However, the other players in this list also have great attributes and abilities, so you will be well served no matter the player you choose.

We expect these cards to be meta in the first few weeks of the game, at least until the first Madden 25 Ultimate Team program or promo is announced by EA Sports.

What do you think of this list, and which one of these players do you really want to have on your team at the start of Madden 25? Let us know in the comments below!

The Madden 25 Superstar Deep Dive has finally arrived, and it announced some exciting new features, which aim to make the mode more immersive, authentic, and enjoyable.

Apart from the new features, many existing ones were also revamped, and players will have a level of customization that has never been seen before, news that left Madden fans quite happy.

Character Creation

The Superstar mode truly begins after players have created their character, and chosen their archetype.

In Madden 25, players can create their character archetype from scratch, or use one of the new preset archetypes, with different archetypes focusing on various attributes, and providing different maximum ratings.

Players can spend up to three creation points on any attribute, which will impact the starting rating of that attribute, its max rating, as well as its ability cap. Furthermore, users will need to choose between spending the points on mental skills or physical ones.

Mental skills have abilities associated with them, but physical skills don't. However, physical skills will impact how your player moves on the field, and his interactions.

As mentioned further above, the Madden 25 Superstar mode presents a customization level like never seen before, with players having a plethora of new faces, hairstyles, and facial hair options, to choose from. Tattoos have also been introduced, adding yet another layer of customization.

Perhaps the best new feature, is that players can import their College Football 25 Road to Glory character and use it in Madden 25 Superstar mode. This makes the mode much more immersive.

The NFL Scouting Combine Actually Matters

The NFL scouting combine is much more important than ever before in Superstar mode, as now players' performances on the combine can affect some of their attribute ratings for the rest of their careers.

A stellar performance on the NFL combine will also have a big impact on the player's draft board ranking. Combine drills now take into consideration a player's role, and 26 new mini-games have been added to combine in Madden 25.

A Huge Revamp to Superstar Quests

Superstar quests were already part of the Superstar mode last year, however, this year the feature underwent some significant improvements.

While in Madden 24 the quests were generic, in Madden 25, Superstar quests will be based on your player's skillset, answers in narrative moments, and journey.

Quests are also now performance-driven, and they will adapt to your performances, and your team's current form. If your team is losing, the type of quests you will get will be different from if you are steamrolling opponents.

Unrivaled quests were also added, and they allow you to target your NFL rival, adding a little bit more spicy to the games. Similar to last year, completing quests will earn you rewards, which you can then use to upgrade your character.

Superstar Showdown is Back!

As expected, Superstar Showdown is back to Superstar mode in Madden 25, but it brings many new events, which will be added throughout the year.

At the start of Season 1, the Ochocinco Celebration event and Season of Boom will go live, giving players new ways to experience Superstar Showdown.

Speaking of new ways to experience Superstar Showdown, players can now face their friends on some 3v3 action, in Challenge mode.

Superstar mode introduces a lot of new features in Madden 25, and also revamped many existing ones, making the game mode more immersive, entertaining, and attractive for players who have never tried it out before.

What do you think of these changes to the Superstar mode, and will you be playing it? Let us know in the comments below!

The Madden 25 Ultimate Team ratings week continues, and after announcing the best defensive ends, defensive tackles, and offensive linemen, EA Sports revealed the ten best halfbacks in the game mode.

Halfbacks are incredibly important in Madden, especially if you like to run the football. However, that isn't all they do, as the best halfbacks in the game are competent blockers, and good catchers.

Best Halfbacks in Madden 25 Ultimate Team

The list of best halfbacks in Madden 25 Ultimate Team contains some huge surprises.

Some of the players that were in the default halfbacks list, the one that is used for Franchise mode and other offline modes, aren't here, which left many fans surprised.

Here are the best halfbacks in Madden 25 Ultimate Team:

Christian McCaffrey and Nick Chubb are in a league of their own, as the ratings demonstrate, and they possess some incredible attributes, making them the cards to have in the halfback position.

Having a great halfback is essential to finding success in the running game, and all the players on this list can help you take your running game to the next level.

A good running game can force opponents to change their defensive approach, opening more opportunities for passing plays, and making your offense almost impossible to read.

So if you really like to run the football, make sure you consider at least one of the players in this list. They won't be cheap, as they are the best cards in their position at the beginning of the game, but they are well worth it.

UFL is one of the most anticipated game projects, as the Cristiano Ronaldo-backed game promises to deliver a fun and fair-to-play gaming experience, that can be a breath of fresh air for the industry.

After two successful open betas, and an investment round that took place in December of 2023, where $40 million where raised for the development of the game, UFL has finally revealed its official release date.

UFL Release Date

UFL will officially launch on 12 September 2024, with the game being available for the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 platforms.

Before the game's launch players will have the chance to purchase pre-order packs, which include an exclusive customization set, and also seven days of early access.

This offers players the chance to start playing the game on Wednesday, 5 September, allowing players to start griding the game and assembling their squad, which will give them a considerable advantage over the players that only start playing seven days later.

Strikerz Inc. CEO, Eugene Nashilov, had the following to say about the title launch:

"We’re thrilled to launch UFL on September 12. We can’t wait for gamers around the world to enjoy it and we thank them for the invaluable feedback they’ve provided us during two phases of Open Beta testing."

"The launch of UFL is a landmark moment in our journey, however, we equally realise that this is just the beginning. We’ll be constantly & regularly updating the UFL gaming experience for all the fans around the world.’"

We Finally Have Some Competition

The UFL launch also means that EA Sports FC now has some competition in the market, which is something fans have been begging for, and after an underwhelming Ultimate Team deep dive, UFL has a great chance of rivaling FC 25.

UFL will be released almost two weeks before FC 25, giving them a lot of time to captivate players and showcase why they are the best football video game in the market.

It's ingenuous to think that UFL can simply become a more popular game than FC 25 in the blink of an eye, as the EA FC player base is huge and very loyal, even if a majority of it is always complaining about the game.

However, this is still a golden opportunity for UFL to reach a large audience, showcase its product, and perhaps even convert some EA FC fans. If the gameplay is good and the game modes are entertaining, there is no reason for the UFL launch not to be a big success.

Becoming a true challenger to EA FC will take time, but UFL has a chance to show they are a legitimate player in the market and an alternative for those who aren't happy with the EA Sports product.

The Madden 25 Ultimate Team ratings reveal week is in full force, and after revealing the 10 best defensive tackles, and offensive linemen, EA Sports announced the best defensive ends.

Defensive ends are tasked with putting pressure on the quarterback, making his job of reading the defense much harder, and giving the quarterback less time to make decisions.

Best Defensive Ends in Madden 25 Ultimate Team

The saying defense wins championships is also true in Madden, so that's why is so important to have a solid defensive line, that can get stops, force fumbles, and stop runs, making the opposing team's offense job feel almost impossible.

Defensive ends are a big part of that, since, as mentioned above, they put pressure on the quarterback, and if they are successful, a sack will most likely be the result.

Here are the 10 best defensive ends in Madden 25:

As you can see, this list is full of defensive monsters, such as Maxx Crosby, Micah Parsons, and Nick Bosa, who are experts in pressing the offensive line and instilling fear in the hearts of quarterbacks.

For the beginning of Madden 25, these cards are tremendous, as they have incredible attributes and abilities, are the best in their position, and can make defense a whole lot easier.

We expect these cards to be meta for at least the first few weeks of Madden 25 until EA Sports launches its first big promo or program.

However, these cards won't be cheap at the beginning of the game, so make sure you consider their attributes, abilities, and team chemistries, to see which one fits your squad the best.

What do you think of these cards, and which ones will you be picking up? Let us know in the comments below.

After the reveal of the best offensive linemen in Madden 25 Ultimate Team, EA Sports revealed the top ten defensive tackles in the mode, and there are some surprises in the list.

These players are masters in the art of tackling, stopping runs, and preventing important catches, and will be a fine addition to everyone's squad at the beginning of the game.

Best Defensive Tackles in Madden 25 Ultimate Team

Having great defensive tacklers is incredibly important in Ultimate Team, and Madden in general.

They can take your defensive line to the next level, making it very hard for opponents to run the football, while also putting a lot of pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

Here are the 10 best defensive tacklers in Madden 25:

As you can see, Chris Jones is the best defensive tackler in Madden 25 Ultimate Team, being the only player in the position to have an 84 OVR. All of the players in this list have some incredible attributes, but some excel in different things than others.

These are first-day cards, and they are expected to be meta for the first few weeks of the game, at least until the first big promo is introduced.

If you want to have the best squad possible at the beginning of the game, then you need to have at least some of the cards in this list on your team, as they will make your defensive line significantly better.

However, it's worth noting that these cards will probably be quite expensive at the start of the game. So make sure you take a look at their attributes, and abilities, and see which ones you really want.

What do you think of these cards, and which ones will you be picking up? Let us know in the comments below.

FC 25: Everything You Need to Know | FC 25 Cover Stars Revealed | FC 25 Gameplay Features Produce Most Authentic EA Experience Yet | FC 25 Career Mode Features Reveal Huge Overdue Makeover | FC 25 Ultimate Team & Clubs Features Showcase Multiplayer Revamp  |  FC 25 Ultimate Team Deep Dive - An Underwhelming Showcase

FC 25 is one of the most anticipated sports games of 2024, and Ultimate Team is by far its most popular game mode, so it's easy to see why players couldn't wait for the FC 25 Ultimate Team Deep Dive.

The FC 25 Ultimate Team Deep Dive gave players a look at the new features coming to the mode, and what EA Sports did to make the mode more enjoyable.

Unfortunately, that wasn't a lot, and this is one of the most underwhelming Ultimate Team Deep Dives ever!

A Copy Paste Game Mode

As mentioned above, the FC 25 Ultimate Team Deep Dive was underwhelming, not introducing a single feature that players can truly get excited about, and that will make the mode more immersive, or enjoyable.

Rush is the main feature of FC 25 Ultimate Team, and even though it has some interesting aspects, it's pretty much a re-skin of the Volta mode. Furthermore, Rush is a mode that appeals much more to Clubs players, than the Ultimate team player base.

Most Ultimate Team players will play the game mode a couple of times, and then they will go back to grinding Rivals for the rewards and the Fut Champions points. Rush will become an afterthought a few weeks after FC 25 is released, at least for most Ultimate Team Players.

But it's still a new game mode, so let's give them that. EA Sports introduced a new game mode that allows Ultimate Team players to have fun with their friends and also earn some rewards in the process. Not bad.

The problem is that pretty much everything else that was added to Ultimate Team feels like something we could have got in an update, with some of these "new features" being laughable.

A Whole Lot of Nothing!

This deep dive also introduced FC IQ, which allows you to have "greater control over your team's strategy, both on and off the ball", which is basically an update to custom tactics. That is also the case for player roles, which just feel like a slight update to the player instructions feature.

According to EA Sports, player roles will "guide the way players think and behave on the pitch, resulting in more authentic tactical intelligence and movement off the ball". Wasn't that what the player instructions feature was for?

As part of FC IQ, we also have the Manager Presets, which means manager cards now come with their tactical presets, making it easier to emulate their style of play.

While this is a new feature, it's not groundbreaking, nor does it feel it will have a huge impact on the game. Although it will be funny to see how your team plays under Sean Dyche.

Evos card will be less restrictive, which is good, but what really matters is that you can now customize the card, so you can play with your red Evo Bellingham, which I'm sure is what every Ultimate team player really wanted.

The cherry on top of the cake was that EA Sports FC finally heard the community, and is making some huge changes, changes the community has been asking for five years or more. But hey, better late than ever.

Player contracts were removed, a storage system for duplicate cards was added, the Rivals rewards system was updated, and relegation is back.

These are great news, but they aren't huge features, and the community has been asking for a way to store duplicates and use them on SBC for years, and that's the same for the removal of player contracts.

The fact that EA Sports introduced these features as "community requests", saying that they listened to community feedback, for things the community was asking for before the game was even called EA FC, is appalling and will certainly leave veteran FC fans fuming.

These don't feel like new features, and even if you want to consider them as such, they certainly aren't groundbreaking or will have a huge impact on the Ultimate Team experience.

FC 25 is a brand-new game, and players will pay a good amount of money for that game, so users were expecting some significant features or big changes to existing ones.

That's not the case for Ultimate Team, which let's face it, it's the main reason players will buy FC 25. Couldn't all of these "new features" be added to a game in an update? Apart from the Rush mode, it certainly feels like it, and that's very disappointing.

It feels like Ultimate Team in FC 25 will almost be a carbon copy of the mode in FC 24, with the changes feeling inconsequential, and underwhelming.

What do you think about these new features? Let us know in the comments below.

Speed is the ultimate weapon in football which is why knowing the fastest players in Madden 25 is so important. Whether you're burning past defenders on offense or chasing down quarterbacks on defense, having players with blazing speed can dramatically impact the outcome of any game.

In Franchise Mode you can find speed from a lot of different places, and the OVR score of each player does not fully justify the impact of speed in Madden 25.

Fastest players in Madden 25

Speed in Madden 25 dictates the player's ability to outrun defenders, create separation, and exploit weaknesses in the opposition.

The speed attribute in Madden 25 dictates top speed, while acceleration is how quickly they get to that top speed and agility dictates their ability to dodge would-be blockers or tacklers.

Speed is so important in the way Madden plays that a user-controlled player with a low OVR can out-perform some of the highest OVR players in the game.

These are the top 20 fastest players in Madden 25.

Fastest Quarterbacks

Speed at quarterback is a game-breaker. It can fix a broken protection or prevent throwing into coverage.

Fastest Running Backs

Breakaway speed is brilliant for running backs as they can exploit angles and truly punish missed tackles.

Fastest Tight Ends

Speed in the middle of the field can really exploit the slower safeties and linebackers that lurk there.

Fastest MLBs

You expect speed at cornerback, but the best spot to control a defender is MLB. Thus having speed there can turn your mike backer into a true menace.

These Madden 25 players possess great acceleration and top-end speed that can break games open. While speed may not guarantee a victory, it gives your team an advantage. So, whether you're building your dream team or simply curious about the fastest athletes in the game, this list has you covered.

The Madden 25 Ultimate Team ratings week is here, and EA Sports decided to start it by revealing the best offensive linemen in Madden's most popular game mode.

These players have some great attributes and abilities and are the ones you will want to have in your squad at the start of the game. They will do a great job at protecting the quarterback, and gain more time for you to make the best play.

Madden 25 Best Offensive Linemen in Ultimate Team

The top ten list of offensive linemen in Ultimate Team is quite different from the default one, which is used for Franchise mode, quick play, and many other offline game modes.

Some players are higher or lower in this list, while others didn't even make the top ten, which, of course, left some Madden fans upset.

Here are the top ten offensive linemen in Madden 25 Ultimate Team:

As you can see, the best offensive linemen at the start of Madden 25 Ultimate Team, more especially the top five, will have an 84 OVR, while the others will have an 83 OVR.

The card art is similar to the one we saw in past editions of Madden, which is disappointing, as this card art is dull, and EA Sports can certainly do better than this.

These cards all have some spectacular stats, especially when we take into consideration they are day-one cards, that will be meta for the first weeks of Madden 25.

So if you want to have a great team straight out of the gate, you will need some of these players in your squad.

The Madden 25 Gameplay First Look gave fans the chance to see all the new features in action, demonstrating just how much they will impact the gameplay, making the title more immersive but also more enjoyable to play.

It also provided a more in-depth explanation of some features, such as Boom-Tech, the revamped hit stick, the new Ball Carrier mechanics, and more.

But are these changes enough to make Madden great again? Let's find out!

A More In-depth Look at the New Features

As mentioned above, the Madden 25 Gameplay First Look gave fans a better look at the new gameplay features, which were announced in the Madden 25 Gameplay Deep Dive.

Features such as Boom-Tech, the new ball carrier, including new jukes and spin moves, the new pass-blocking mechanics, custom stems, which allow players to change routes, as well as the new catching animations, especially the one-handed catch, were highlighted during the gameplay first look.

The new hit stick looked incredibly strong when well-timed, causing some fumbles, and completely stopping players who were hit by it.

Another mechanic that looked particularly strong was the spin move, as it was able to take opponents completely out of the play and create a lot of space for the ball carrier. Players will have to time it right, but if they can do that, then the spin move will be a great weapon to have in your arsenal.

We also got to see the new catching animations, which looked quite good, especially the one-handed catch, which gives the receiver a bigger catch radius but is also more susceptible to drops or knockouts.

A little Bit Underwhelming

While the Madden 25 Gameplay First Look wasn't necessarily bad, we were hoping for a little more.

Yes, fans were able to see most of the new features in action, but not for that long, which makes it hard to evaluate the new features, and the gameplay in general.

Will these features actually change how the gameplay feels? Are all of them really that impactful? Can any of these features make the gameplay less enjoyable to play, instead of making it more immersive?

These are all questions we, unfortunately, don't get answers to. So it's hard to gauge just how much the Madden 25 gameplay changes, and if the new features, apart from Boom-Tech, will actually have the huge impact EA Sports claims they will.

We will only have the answers to that once we get our hands on the game, as experiencing the gameplay is the only way to gauge how the game feels, if it's enjoyable to play if the features make it more immersive and realistic, or if it's just a slight upgrade from Madden 24.

At last, the final day of the Madden 25 ratings week is here. After revealing the wide receivers, safeties, running backs, defensive linemen, offensive linemen, cornerbacks, and tight ends ratings, Madden has finally announced the linebacker ratings.

These ratings are certain to generate some discussion in the community, which isn't something abnormal, as fans value different things in players, which ultimately impacts how they evaluate them.

Without further ado, let's see who are the ten best linebackers in Madden 25.

Fred Warner (97 OVR)

When it comes to linebackers, there is none better than Fred Warner, and that's why the 49ers star maintains their place on the throne in Madden 25.

Warner is great against the run and the pass, being incredibly quick at understanding what type of play the opposing team is going for, which gives them an advantage over their opponents.

In the 2023 season, Warner helped the 49ers reach the Super Bowl final, recording 132 tackles, 11 passes defended, four forced fumbles, and four interceptions, in the process.

Roquan Smith (95 OVR)

Coming in at a close second place, we have Roquan Smith, from the Baltimore Ravens.

Smith was one of the biggest responsible for the success of the Raven's defense, recording 158 tackles, eight passes defended, one forced fumble, and one interception.

They are incredibly fast, agile, and similar to Warner, they excel against both the run and passing game. So a 95 OVR for Smith in Madden 25 seems appropriate.

Demario Davis (92 OVR)

Closing out the top three, we have the New Orleans Saints star linebacker, Demario Davis. Davis is coming off a fantastic 2023 season, where they recorded 121 tackles, four passes defended, and one forced fumble.

The veteran linebacker continues to prove he belongs among the elite, as their 2023 numbers and second Pro Bowl selection demonstrate.

Lavonte David (90 OVR)

In fourth place, we have Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran star linebacker, Lavonte David, who similar to Davis, is also coming off a spectacular season.

David has been one of the best NFL linebackers for a long time, and in the 2023 season, they had 134 tackles, with 17 of those being for a loss, five passes defended, and one forced fumble.

It seems that similar to Davis, David has no intention of leaving the elite linebacker group anytime soon.

C.J. Mosley (90 OVR)

Closing out the top five we have New York Jets linebacker, C.J. Mosley.

Mosley had a good 2023 season, with the veteran NFL linebacker recording 152 tackles, five of those for a loss, seven passes defended, two forced fumbles, and one interception.

In Madden 25, Mosley is quite fast, has great tackling, and is decent in both man and zone coverage.

Foyesade Oluokun (89 OVR)

In sixth place, we have Foyesade Oluokun, the star linebacker of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Oluokun numbers in the 2023 season were slightly lower when compared to their 2021 and 202 seasons, but they were still very good.

Oluokun recorded 173 tackles, eight of those being for a loss, had six passes defended, one forced fumble, and one interception, which resulted in a returned touchdown.

Dre Greenlaw (87 OVR)

The 49er's rising star, Dre Greenlaw, occupies the seventh place on this list.

Greenlaw had a fantastic 2023 season, recording 120 tackles, five of those for a loss, four passes defended, and helped the 49ers make it to another Super Bowl.

So, Greenlaw's seventh place in this list is more than deserved.

Matt Milano (87 OVR)

The Buffalo Bills linebacker, Matt Milano, occupies the eighth place in this list.

Milan 2023 season is on they want to forget as fast as possible, as a broken leg made them miss most of the season. Despite that, Milano had solid numbers in the 2022 and 2021 seasons, which justifies their eighth place in the list.

Bobby Wagner (87 OVR)

In ninth place, we have veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner, who signed for the Washington Commanders in this year's free agency.

Wagner already had a Hall of Fame career, but their 2023 season performance reinforced that, with Wagner recording an incredible 183 tackles, 11 of those for a loss, three passes defended, and one fumble recovered.

Some might argue that Wagner deserved a higher place in the list, and that's certainly a discussion worth having.

Bobby Okereke (86 OVR)

Closing out the top ten, we have Bobby Okereke, from the New York Giants, who possesses some good attributes across the board in Madden 25.

Okereke had a solid 2023 season, with 149 tackles, 11 of those for a loss, 10 passes defended, four forced fumbles, and two interceptions. Because of that, it's not a surprise to see them in the top ten.

The last day of the Madden 25 ratings reveal week is finally here, and after revealing the wide receivers, safeties, running backs, defensive linemen, and offensive linemen, EA Sports has finally revealed the ratings of the position everyone was waiting for, quarterbacks.

Quarterbacks are arguably the most important players in football, they are the field generals, who can change the momentum of a game with a single pass, or a run, and can lead your squad to many wins.

Without further ado, let's see who are the ten best quarterbacks of Madden 25.

Patrick Mahomes (99 OVR)

It comes as no surprise to see Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in Madden 25, or that he is part of the Madden 25 99 Club.

Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to yet another Super Bowl win, recording great numbers, and cementing himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game, for those that still had any doubt left that is.

The number one spot and 99 OVR in Madden 25 was the least EA Sports could have done, after another historical season from a generational player.

Lamar Jackson (98 OVR)

Lamar Jackson continues to prove their haters wrong year after year, with the Baltimore Ravens quarterback coming off a monstrous 2023 season, where they passed for an impressive 3678 yards, rushed for 821 yards, had 24 touchdown passes, and five rushing touchdowns.

Jackson led the Ravens to the AFC Conference final, where they fell to the Kansas City Chiefs, who would go on to win their second Lombardi trophy in a row.

Jackson is one of the most unique and exciting quarterbacks to watch, and their numbers in the last season speak for themselves. The number two spot, and 98 OVR, are more than deserved.

Joe Burrow (93 OVR)

Closing out the top three, we have the Cincinnati Bengals superstar, Joe Burrow. The 2023 season for Burrow can be described in one word, injuries, as the Bengals quarterback was never at 100% during the 2023 season.

Without them, the Bengals failed to make the playoffs, which also proves just how important Burrow is for the success of the franchise. Despite a sub-par 2023 season, most fans agree that, when healthy, Burrow is at least a top-three quarterback in the league.

Josh Allen (92 OVR)

In fourth place we have the Buffalo Bills superstar player, and Madden 24 cover athlete, Josh Allen.

The Bills superstar had another tremendous season in 2023, passing for 4306 yards, and passing 29 touchdowns, while also rushing for 524 yards, and an impressive 15 touchdowns, more than their two previous seasons combined.

Many will argue Allen deserves a spot in the top three, and that is certainly a worthy discussion to have.

Dak Prescott (90 OVR)

Closing out the top five we have Dak Prescott, the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, who looked promising in the regular season, but in typical Cowboys fashion, where a disappointment in the playoffs.

Prescott had some good numbers in the 2023 season, but he struggled when it meant the most. When the Cowboys faced actually good teams, such as the 49ers, Prescott crumbled under the pressure.

So a place in the top five might come as a shock for many Madden fans.

Tua Tagovailoa (88 OVR)

Tua Tagovailoa comes in at sixth place, as the Miami Dolphins quarterback had by far their best year, with an impressive 4624 passing yards and 29 passing touchdowns.

Tagovailoa had his first taste of playoff football, where the Dolphins lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. After such a great season, the Miami Dolphins didn't think twice about extending his contract and making him the franchise quarterback for the foreseeable future.

An 88 OVR for Tua Tagovailoa in Madden 25 seems appropriate.

Justin Herbert (87 OVR)

At number seven we have the Los Angeles Chargers star, Justin Herbert. The 2023 season is one Herbert wants to forget as fast as possible, as injuries made them miss five games, which affected their numbers.

Despite that, Herbert's numbers were stil solid, with 3134 passing yards, and 20 passing touchdowns. So a place at number eight seems fitting.

Jalen Hurts (87 OVR)

Look away Eagles fans, as Jalen Hurts is the eighth-best quarterback in Madden 25, something the Philly faithful certainly won't appreciate.

Hurts 2023 season was a pretty good one, passing for a career-high 3858 yards, and 23 passing touchdowns, as well as rushing for 605 yards, and 15 touchdowns.

Despite that, Hurts sees their rating drop from 88 OVR to 86 OVR, and drops three places in the list, compared to last year.

Brock Purdy (85 OVR)

At number nine, we have the rising star, Brock Purdy, quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers. Purdy's 2023 season was nothing sort of amazing, as the 49ers star recorded 4280 passing yards, and an impressive 31 touchdown passes.

They proved they could handle the pressure, especially since this was Purdy's second NFL season and their first as the starting quarterback. If you ask 49ers fans, they will say Purdy should be much higher on this list.

Kirk Cousins (84 OVR)

Closing out the top ten, we have Kirk Cousins, who has recently signed with the Atlanta Falcons.

Cousins' 2023 season was sub-par, but that's mainly because they only played eight games, and injuries plagued them. However, Cousins' last seasons are enough to justify a place for them on this list, at least that's what Madeen thinks.

These are the ten best quarterbacks in Madden 25, that can help you lead your team to the promised land in Franchise mode.
