    This game is a joke. We were led to expect so much from this game being that it was a launch title for the new Xbox one. I expected things to look ralistic, but in reality it looks no better than the last madden game on the 360. The graphics are terrible, none of the players look real, the animations haven't changed and they don't even happen smootly. I would even go as far to say thatThis game is a joke.

I would even go as far to say that this game feels alot like the 2005 version. I love football but I'd rather watch it on my HD tv instead of playing this garbage. The only reason these games are mde is fr some easy cash. I'm getting sick and tired of EA popping out these games every year. I went over to my friends house to try this game out on hs xbox one. It's the only game he has for the console. because of that he never uses his exbox one. Get the picture? The game sucks. I know the fans of thrfranchise are going to down vote this review but looking at it from realistic pesective, this game and it's developers don't deserve the yearly hype.… Expand

    Presentation is much improved, but gameplay mechanics are awful. Take a team with a tank for a running back and watch him get plastered back on his butt by any defense guy who sticks his arm out. The physics fool you sometimes into thinking its good but then you try to run the ball and get blown backwards nearly everytime you touch another player. Even when your running back is chargingPresentation is much improved, but gameplay mechanics are awful. Take a team with a tank for a running back and watch him get plastered back on his butt by any defense guy who sticks his arm out. The physics fool you sometimes into thinking its good but then you try to run the ball and get blown backwards nearly everytime you touch another player. Even when your running back is charging ahead and the defense guy is being blocked, he will shove your running back, backwards onto the ground as if he's Hercules. You want to take the Seahawks and play Russel Wilson in a roll out play and gun it downfield on the run? Good luck. He only throws it 5 yards into the dirt while rolling out. Which, we all know, is not what he does in real life. The animation is jerky. The graphics are same as Madden 11. No more "User Tackles" or "User Picks" like in Madden/NCAA 2008/2010. The auto select play calls never work. Defense backs will often been seen standing still while opponents run past them as if they don't adapt to the offense. You call a Cover 2 Buc and your corner backs blitz a zone. They stand there looking stupid while the receiver runs right past them....The online league is great, but if you want to play your team the way they should play, pounding the ball, run and shoot, rolling out, etc. forget it.… Expand

    This is the worst game ever!!!! Whenever you play a game, it is already predicted and is very glitchy even with a new Xbox One. When you make a deep pass, it never gets caught LITERALLY! They only let you win the game if you use super packs, and super packs are $25 each!!!!

    If you have always loved franchise mode you will hate this game, they have taken away alot of freedom that we used to have, gameplay is alright, theres a couples pros to that. Graphics are not very good they do not blow you away at all.

    Graphically not as impressive as we would have liked and really not all that different from what we’ve played before. Still solid, but uninspiring.

    Madden NFL's debut on the new consoles brings lots of social features and new details which are not always so significant, though. In particular, the visuals don't seem to take full advantage of Xbox One and PS4 hardware. An incomplete pass into “next gen”, for now.

    Madden NFL 25 is the best Madden to date but is not a great leap forward for the EA Sports' brand. Game modes are the same played since last summer and the gameplay feels different but only for the hardcore gamer.
