  For those who’ve spent a month immersed in the pageantry of the college game, it might be hard to get excited for a less unique version of that same title. But for those who have waited a few years for an improved, upgraded football experience, the new Madden will be a revelation.

  The Madden NFL 25 on-field action is solid. But once again, it is let down in a lot of other departments, and that is despite some noticeable improvements. MUT has been tuned up, but is a far cry from an overhaul and Superstar mode just exists, stripped back with no voice acting at all. The overall presentation is a marked step-up from previous iterations though, and it is worth stressing that the menus actually work in this instalment; something that shouldn’t necessarily be a plus point, but after last year and Madden NFL 24, it really is.

  While there may have the smallest step taken toward improving the gameplay, Madden 25 falls completely flat because the proper simulation modes still feel the same and haven't changed much. The UI may look different, but the same options for relocation/renovation, the same team management options, and soulless superstar options drag this game down back to where the franchise has been for the past several years. It's disappointing in every sense of the word.

  Si vous êtes un fan inconditionnel de la franchise Madden, vous trouverez probablement votre compte dans cette nouvelle itération. De même, si vous êtes fan de NFL et avez besoin de votre simulation en marge de la saison qui vient de reprendre, ce jeu vous plaira probablement. Cependant, si vous avez eu votre dose avec les précédents Madden et attendiez la révolution de la licence, celle-ci n’a pas eu lieu et on vous conseillera davantage College Football 25 pour une dose de fraicheur. Il est temps pour EA Sports de se remettre en question et de proposer une véritable révolution pour la franchise, sous peine de voir son règne contesté de manière de plus en plus sérieuse alors qu’ils sont en situation de monopole sur le Foot US.

  7.0

  Madden NFL 25's relatively subtle improvements are like rain in a drought after a few quieter years, but this sleeping giant isn't quite awake just yet. Like the Patriots, times have been tough in recent years, but there’s enough on display to suggest a comeback could be on. And, just like the Patriots, that could still be a way off.

  8.0

  Madden NFL 25 está lejos de la proeza, pero por fin hay una mejora en un área importante: la jugabilidad y la física. Si este es el camino, en los próximos años podríamos ver la mejor versión de la franquicia en años. Por supuesto que se desea la presencia de mayor contenido, sobre todo en cuanto a modos de juego y cambios notables en modos como Franquicia y Superestrella, pero eso sería pecar de ingenuo sabiendo el bache del que está saliendo la IP. Al final, y solo condenando los constantes y molestos anuncios de Ultimate Team, tenemos un buen juego de futbol americano para la temporada de este año y eso, en este caso, es una muy buena noticia.
