But this year’s game is going to be more than that.
So what is it?
Truth be told, it is a tricky mechanic to explain.
I think when you get your hands on Madden 25, you’ll feel the difference too.
The juke move has been re-tuned so that not everyone can execute it well.
New hesitation moves will also be unleashed.
Hit stick update
The above changes culminate in the new Hit Stick update in Madden 25.
Simply put, it will be more skill-based going forward.
This essentially rewards defenders or ballcarriers for properly lining up or skillfully evading the Hit Stick, respectively.
Signature player locomotion
Some guys just move differently.
Madden 25 is finally going to express some of that too, though it’s uncertain to what extent.
A fourth catch pop in is coming to Madden 25: the spectacular catch.
The studio wants to eliminate that guesswork.
Benefitting the passing game are also new custom route stems.
This should give Manning-like players more ability to dissect a defense.
Later picks will be seen getting calls from GMs in their homes.
Straight cash, homie!
Which 30-year-old running back is gettingfasterat that age?
None, so now in Madden, things like that should stop happening.
Classic Madden songs returning as stadium tracks
Last on our list is music.
Also, classic Madden tracks from past eras will be coming back and heard in stadiums around the league.
A few bands mentioned by name were Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and Twenty-One Pilots.
