Madden 25 Review: Stalling in the Red Zone



If I compare the annual release of Madden to an NFL offense trying to put together...

Re: Madden 25 Review: Stalling in the Red Zone

Having half the qb's with over a 100 qb rating and 10-12 having 30 tds or more is maddening. Top wrs dont have nearly as many receptions as they should and this has always been the case. Top offensive team stats are often right around average or just slightly above real world NFL stats.

Deflections are low. Qb completion %'s are very high. Passing attempts are low (youll almost never see 600 attempts or over). The lack of attention to detail and carelessness to the simstats is absolutely amatuer. Trying to get immersed in a franchise is near impossible with this game. Heres to hoping modding is possible on PC at some point because simstats can be improved greatly. Ive had to do it every year prior.

Good write up. Really wish you guys would've addressed the low frequency of replays and stat overlays because they're severely limited at the moment. Frequency needs to be tuned for those to be shown waaaay more.

Just a heads up, I can’t even read long articles like this on my iPhone because the constant barrage of advertisements constantly crashes safari

Re: Madden 25 Review: Stalling in the Red Zone

I'm glad to see someone writing a review about how bad the defense is in this game, don't know why they felt the need to make excuses for EA on why it's so bad however.

BTW who is beta testing these games? Clearly no one with a defensive background.

We did. Lol. Well those of us with beta codes. It's my fault. I'm sorry.

Re: Madden 25 Review: Stalling in the Red Zone

Nice review, I'm just a little dissapointed that it came so late. Almost like you guys sat on this. If Madden was done right, you would put this out a week before that game launched. I really depend on this site to give me the insight on my sports games. TBH, the lack of being able to draft my players over from college really took away my interest in even buying this game. Sure, I can create my draft classes, but there is a missing piece of an organic feeling of loading it up like the games of old. I will see this game in a few months or a 50% sale at some point.

I don’t think the export draft class to Madden feature will ever be in a game again due to the agreement with college players. I think they only have their likeness for CFB, not for Madden. So this would recreate the licensing issues they had that inevitably forced them to shelf NCAA for a decade.

As for Madden, I’ve said it 100x, but at this point I’ll never buy this game until it’s on sale and already being modded by the talented guys who work on the PC version. It’s by far and away the best version of the game, and it’s due to guys who don’t even work at EA… which is rather telling to say the least.

Looks like it’s a Black Friday purchase for me (or possibly even later!)
