Reception

[edit]

Madden NFL 25 received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to Metacritic.[10][11]

Will Borger of IGN wrote a positive review, stating it is better than Madden NFL 24 and complimenting the game's "on-field action", as well as additions from College Football 25. However, Borger added that the game's mode are "functionally the same" and stated that the Franchise mode, while the game's "best thing", "still needs help". Borger wrote that "the improvements it did get are nice, but also long overdue, and you don't get a parade for doing things you should have done years ago."[6]
