Pass rush is not a factor in this game. Even Top pass rushers have no effect on games. Opps wrong section

First thing I noticed, camera views seem a bit lower this year.

The last madden I played was '23. Is there anything that's changed or added to last gen version on 25 this year?

In short, not really

you won't know until you play it. I remember some of the usual suspects trying to say that 24 was just a cut and paste of 23 and it was not. 24 on xbox one was very much improved including a lot of the updates that the game received throughout the year. I am still playing Madden 24 until I purchase the new version on the 16th.

Penalties
There is a lot I can talk about but I'll focus on penalties. Played a game and I had 8 penalties for 90 something yards. I am actually impressed. Still would like to see a larger variety.

Bubble Screens
Only played two games but i'm wondering if EA decided they do not want bubble screens to work this year. WRs don't feel like blocking on those places.

Bruised Sternum
In the history of the NFL, has any player actually left a game because of a bruised sternum? However seems to be the #1 injury in madden

Special Teams
Needs a complete overhaul. I'm not talking about changing the kicking meter every three years. Speaking of which, I don't understand the new meter. I am playing at home and scored opening possession. On the PAT, the meter goes wobbly after I hit the button the first time. Why? There is no pressure o anything at that point.

David Carr has thrown for 5 TDs and 386 yards through 3 quarters against me on All-pro. Hasn't missed a throw and the receivers haven't dropped a pass all game.
