The summer is nearly here, and that means Madden season is upon us once again. Madden NFL 25 features Niners halfback Christian McCaffrey on the cover and improved rushing mechanics befitting of the superstar in the game itself. But this year’s game is going to be more than that. We recently spent a day at EA Orlando (formerly Tiburon) to check out Madden 25 in advance of its launch this August and came back with 25 things the Madden community should know before they strap on their shoulder pads for Madden 25.

Boom Tech

In the third year of EA’s “Fieldsense” experiment–that being the team’s slow and steady rebuild of Madden’s core on-field gameplay and mechanics–it’s Boom Tech that’s taking center stage. Though Boom Tech is the type of juicy marketable term EA always builds into a game launch, the underlying gameplay changes were apparent in my hands-on time with the game.
