Madden NFL 25 Features and Details Revealed, Reveal Trailer June 18 - Page 8 (2024)

I imagine the Teambuilder website capabilities will be the same for both CFB25 and Madden. So, when we get the Teambuilder blog for EA CFB on July, expect the same details for Madden.

For me, Create-A-Team wasn't a big issue for me in Madden. I don't have the same desire to create a new NFL team as I do with a College teams.

New Commentary teams, Mike Tirico and Greg Olsen, Kate Scott and Brock Huard.
Are Davis and Gauden out?

Dynamic Stories in Franchise
The goals for Franchise Mode in Madden NFL 25 involved crafting a story, improving draft night, adding Team Builder, creating Franchise Central and adding female coach models. Players will encounter over seventy dynamic storylines that include the likes of managing a player requesting a trade to players showing up to camp out of shape. There will be a wide variety of story arcs that involve players on each team. The developers wanted to incorporate aspects from the NFL Head Coach series as they believed the mode has been missing both life and immersion. Players will need to be properly rested throughout the season along with other stories involving culture changes, sitting the rookie quarterback, exploiting opponent weaknesses, planning early for the offseason and intense contract negotation. The idea is to create more substance to the mode that has been missing.

With these 70+ storylines, players will remember decisions. Managing the right decisions with personalities can make or break them wanting to stay on the team or aggressively trying to get out. These storylines will also last for multiple seasons rather than just a few games. The team has also added 26 new mini games and a new Gauntlet experience building upon mini-camp from last year. Core improvements to the mode will include the addition of team and rookie records so that they can be broken, improving AI for free agency and the draft, a big focus on player progression logic, new draft generators and rookie stories. In the past, older players rated in the 70s would hold up rookie progression and this has been balanced and confirmed not to be overboard.

EA went out and signed Roger Goodell for the game as he will be announcing draft picks during Draft Night. The NFL Draft will also feature walkout cut scenes when players are drafted, much like real life. This also includes later picks of rookies sitting at home that decided not to show up. The development team has also added a new prospect board and a draft environment with a real-time draft board. Players will also receive immediate feedback on the pick that was selected.

Franchise Central will be the new hub for the mode. This will show top players, top stories and matchups within the league. The idea behind this is to add more content and life to the league rather than just progressing through the season. This includes an MVP tracker and other important aspects to engulf the player into their season's narrative. A personal message system that includes players on the trading block, free agents becoming available and fatigued players will also be included.

I'm crying on the inside lol. I don't need to hear anymore. The MVP Bundle is being preordered off top!

THIS WILL BE A GREAT YEAR FOR US FOOTBALL FANS!
