Summary
SomeMadden NFL 25players aren’t satisfied with how the game handles the atmosphere of certain events, such as Super Bowl games. DespiteMadden NFL 25promising to make its professional football simulator more realistic with improved true-to-life movements and physics, there are still fans who want better immersion from its engine.
Madden NFL 25is this year’s iteration of the annual NFL game from developer EA Sports.NFL 25launched on August 16 to mixed reviewson Steam, with players taking issue with persistent crashes and console accessories being incompatible on PC, among other problems. Another returning gripe is EA’s focus on microtransactions as a way to make more money from the game.
A smaller complaint from players is the frustrating fact that the gamestill doesn’t treat bigger matches as uniquely special moments incertain modes, such as Franchise inMadden NFL 25. On Reddit, oneMaddenfan said they don’t feel like the Super Bowl, the biggest game of the year, is a major event, as the event’s presentation isn’t made distinct from any other match. According to them, the commentators only mention the fact that the game is the Super Bowl a few times, the crowd doesn’t sound any louder, and there aren’t any special postgame reports or sequences that depict it as a big championship bout.
Madden NFL 25 Fails To Capture The Grandeur of The Super Bowl
Other Redditors agree, comparing how EA depicts bigger events inMaddenwith 2K Sports' approach to games likeNBA 2K. 2K manages to make postseason and championship games feel visually and audibly distinct from regular season matches, even in older titles likeNBA 2K13. Some fans pin the blame on the NFL itself, which supposedly controls how the league is presented inMadden.
When it comes to realism, EA Sports focused on making the football gameplay feel natural inMadden 25. The developer’sbig addition toMaddenthis year is the BOOM Tech, which makes tackling and ball movement feel more realistic. Whether that has made a positive impact on players' experiences inMaddenis yet to be fully established, however, as most of the feedback on the game seems to be more focused on its shortcomings.
