    Very dissapointed. If you own this for current-gen, it is not worth getting for next-gen. It is pretty much the same exact game with slightly better graphics. Nothing special.

    Overall it's a tight game with slightly upgraded visuals and the depth of online/offline modes you expect from a Madden game. Don't go into this thinking the graphics are going to blow you away, once games like this are solely developed for the next-gen systems that is when the visuals will begin to become impressive.

    This years version is simply one of the best since invention of the hit stick. Fluid animations
    They finally took the akward butt fumble like tackles out replaced with realistic tackling to ensure you don't see the same play twice in a row. Could see people not wanting to drop 60bucks on a next gen sports title
    I'd say stick with your madden 25 on the 360/ps3 unless you got a 10$ copy    This years version is simply one of the best since invention of the hit stick. Fluid animations

    I'd say stick with your madden 25 on the 360/ps3 unless you got a 10$ copy waiting at gamestop. Most gamestops had promotions like this to ensure next gen sales. Unless you got that waiting. and you have madden already. WAIT FOR PRICE DROP!! WILL BE AROUND 35-40$ AFTER XMAS

    Not much of an improvement from the xbox 360 to the xbox one. Just like the ps2 version of 2006 to the ps3/xbox 360 there wasn't much of an upgrade to the game.

    This is the same game i played on Xbox 360, but with better graphic. If you already bought it for last gen then your not missing much by skipping this game.

    Madden 25... Oh my god what a disappointment Madden 25 is. Madden 25 promised us great control, great mechanics, and overall just a great game. However, none of that was given. The control is unresponsive. I press B, nothing happens! And in the end, I get sacked. When when I try to move forward, It takes so long! I stand still and when I want to move, nothing. it is just hard to controlMadden 25... Oh my god what a disappointment Madden 25 is.

And in the end, I get sacked. When when I try to move forward, It takes so long! I stand still and when I want to move, nothing. it is just hard to control itself as well. It feels like I am trying to control a retarded imp on ice! The mechanics suck. It is SO hard to throw and get a completion because the QB is inaccurate. And if that doesn't make it worse, the AI sucks. I throw the ball to the receiver, and he doesn't even try to catch it. He just moves forward! And overall, the game is not even good. 2013 was not EA's year at all! I really hope to see the best of EA this year. And I hope Madden 15 is at least good.… Expand

    It's a decent entry into the franchise it still plays well and the A.I is improved with some new things going on. Some graphic improvement, but no too much, the crowd still looks silly. Hopefully going forward with the new consoles there will be more improvement.

    This has been the lowest score i have ever given to a madden game before and i hate to do it. But EA Sports Tiburon really did not give me a choice in the matter.

I loved 13 and played the crap out of it. However madden 25 or 14 i hate how they did that btw its basically just a rehash of last year with improved animations and a new game mode and I'm sorry but i feel like the animations could have just been a patch they weren't enough for me to be happy with my $60 dollar purchase. Also i own Madden NFL 14 for both my 360 and my one and to be honest the graphics don't look that much better at all and just upset tremendously by it. EA was so focused about making it ready for the next generation that they did a piss poor job improving last years game! and in my opinion it was a waste of an effort because i didn't see anything even redeeming in the graphics. Madden NFL 14 would be the worst sports game on the next generation if it wasn't for the fact the NBA Live 14 had to be such an embarrassment . Next year will be my 1 decade of buying madden consecutively and i am really hoping that they do something big for it because this year wasn't!… Expand

    Madden NFL 25 is somewhat of a let down for the series. Although very good, the new physics engine needs a lot of work, as it is quite glitchy. Also, the commentating needs a lot more diversity. Aside from that, the football is perfect.

    It's a descent game. The defensive play seems a bit better, but as for offense, huge holes open up In The run game, but the running backs go down like nothing. Also the players on the sidelines don't react to the game at all, and what the announcers say doesn't make sense half the time. Also they say the same things over and over. Average madden game.

    A fine game for NFL fans. Nothing special about it. The same game every year.

    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.
