Madden NFL 25 (8/16)

The new hook for Madden 25 is its physics-based tackling system BOOM Tech, which looks to make hits more varied and realistic during gameplay by utilizing factors like player momentum, size, and strength. Barebones franchise mode and gambling simulator Madden Ultimate Team headline the game’s game modes.
