Madden 25: Choose The Best Defensive Playbook For Your Team! - Pros And Cons

In the new Madden 25, you can choose your favorite and most suitable players for your virtual team as the coach of your virtual team, and formulate strategies for them in the game. The tight end position is a more important position on the court, because he can protect the offensive players in the team and help catch the ball. So, in the selection of tight ends, the score of the receiving attribute is the key to your choice. There are many tight ends for you to choose from MUT 25. Most of them are receivers or linebackers of some star teams with different and unique abilities. This guide will introduce you to several tight ends with outstanding abilities, which can help you win more games in the new season. David Njoku OVR: 90 Players familiar with Madden NFL series of games should be familiar with David Njoku from Cleveland Browns, because he first appeared in the public eye in Madden NFL 18, with a total score of only 78 points. Now, with his outstanding performance in the actual game, the total score has risen to 90 points, and there are many attribute scores that have exceeded 90 points, such as the most important catching attribute and jumping for the tight end. These can help him to better catch the ball in the game. In addition, David Njoku is also a Superstar player, and can use some Superstar player abilities in the game - TE Apprentice and Short In Elite. TE Apprentice allows him to prepare multiple offensive and defensive routes during pre-game deployment, while Short In Elite allows him to catch the ball more stably when he is 10 yards or fewer away from the line of scrimmage. However, it should be noted that his kicking ability is not too outstanding. You can invest some Madden MUT 25 Coins in him after you have it to achieve a balance of various attributes. T.J. Hockenson OVR: 91 T.J. Hockenson from Minnesota Vikings, like David Njoku, is a player who has existed in this football video game for a long time. In the current Madden 25, his total score has reached 91, and both Stamina and Awareness are over 90. Higher Stamina can make T.J. Hockenson more suitable for some games with longer playing time, making up for the shortcomings of some tight ends who are physically exhausted. High Awareness can keep him calm and responsive in some games with complex situations. In addition, T.J. Hockenson is also a Superstar player with Short In Elite and Mid In Elite abilities. The working principles of these two abilities are actually similar, but the range of Mid In Elite is between 10-20 yards. This means that T.J. Hockenson has a wider range of receiving range, and if you can provide him with a reasonable tactical manual, he will definitely surprise you. Mark Andrews OVR: 94 Mark Andrews, a winger from Baltimore Ravens, joined Madden game family one year later than the previous players. Although his total rating was only 75 points at the beginning, now he has 5 attributes with a rating of more than 90 points in the comprehensive category, and even Stamina and Awareness are higher than T.J. Hockenson. In addition, Mark Andrews not only has Superstar abilities Mid In Elite, TE Apprentice, and Matchup Nightmare, but also has X-Factor ability YAC ‘Em Up, because he is also a Superstar X-Factor player. These abilities can help him more easily face various balls that are well protected by the opposing defensive players on the field. If you are lucky enough to use some MUT 25 Coins to get this player, he can not only create more possibilities for you at the winger position but also use his X-Factor ability YAC ‘Em Up to create offensive space for other players in the team, because this is the best X-Factor ability for receivers. George Kittle OVR: 98 San Francisco 49ers veteran George Kittle, who was only 72 points when he first joined the video game, now has an overall rating of 98 points, all because of his outstanding performance on the field. In addition, his rating in general category is higher than all the players mentioned above, with a score of 97. Among all the attributes, the most noteworthy are his Awareness and Toughness attributes, both of which have a rating of 99 points, which is the highest rating in the game. As the second player in this guide with X-Factor ability YAC ‘Em Up, George Kittle will definitely make your team the best of the season, just as he makes San Francisco 49ers have the highest team overall rating in the game. Travis Kelce OVR: 99 The highest overall rated tight end in this guide appears, that is Travis Kelce of Kansas City Chiefs, and he is also the only tight end to join the 99 club in the modern game. His most impressive attributes are his 99 points for Awareness, 97 points for Stamina and Injury. These attributes are what many players have always yearned for, especially the Injury rating, because the higher this rating, the less likely the player is to be injured during the game. In addition, Travis Kelce also has an X-Factor ability called Double Me. This ability will make him a powerful helper on the offensive end of the team in one-on-one confrontations, and his accuracy in catching the ball will be higher when defending alone. The above is an introduction to some very powerful tight ends in Madden NFL 25 and their attribute ratings. I hope it can help you as a coach when choosing players, and they can help you win more games! I wish you a happy game!

In the improved Ultimate Team mode of Madden 25, you can choose players for your team as a coach or owner, and unique positions will have different considerations - some need strong defensive ability, some strong offensive ability. For example, Halfbacks need some strong offensive players, because they need to assist the wingers in offensive and serve as emergency receivers when necessary. But judging whether a player can play well based on offensive attributes alone is too one-sided, you also need to look at his overall rating. This guide will introduce you to several players with an overall rating of more than 90 points and their offensive ability is also very good. Please prepare your Madden NFL 25 Coins to get them as soon as possible! Joe Mixon - 91 OVR Joe Mixon from Houston Texans is the first Halfback to be introduced in this guide, with an overall rating of 91 points in the game. Like other players in this position, the most important ball-carrying attribute is as high as 98 points, so he can protect the ball well when running with the ball. Although the 91 overall rating in this Madden NFL 25 is not the highest score for Joe Mixon in this series of games, it does not prevent him from using his very balanced attribute distribution to become one of the strongest halfbacks in the game. But unfortunately, Joe Mixon is not a Superstar player and does not have those very outstanding game skills. So if your team wants to challenge those tiresome games, you may need some Superstars or Superstar X-Factor players instead of Joe Mixon. Saquon Barkley - 92 OVR Saquon Barkley from the old team Philadelphia Eagles is also a familiar face in Madden NFL series of games, and he got a total rating of 92 points in this new game. Although his ball-carrying attribute is not as good as Joe Mixon, only 94 points, he is better because he is a Superstar X-Factor player. As a Superstar X-Factor player, Saquon Barkley has a lot of Superstar abilities and X-Factor abilities, especially First One Free. This ability will increase the chance of Saquon Barkley hurdles, spins, or Jukes when entering a certain area on the court, which will score some points and earn you more MUT 25 Coins. This will also give you and some virtual fans a visual impact, making you more immersed in the game. If you use the appropriate sliders, these effects will be more realistic. Derrick Henry - 94 OVR As a veteran of Baltimore Ravens, Derrick Henry has participated in more games than any other player in this guide, which indirectly affects his overall rating of 94 points. Unlike the previous two players, Derrick Henry’s highest-rated attribute is Stiff Arm, which is 99 points! Stiff Arm allows Derrick Henry to knock down the opponent’s defenders during the game and assist his team’s wingers in attacking. In addition, he is also a Superstar X-Factor player and has a Superstar X-Factor ability called Freight Train. It will help Derrick Henry better break through the opponent’s defensive players when entering the designated area. When this ability is combined with the very strong Stiff Arm, Derrick Henry will be fearless on the court. Nick Chubb - 96 OVR Nick Chubb of Cleveland Browns has been in the game since Madden 19. Although he only has an overall rating of 76 points, his performance in the past few years has finally earned him a 96 point rating in the current game, which is unexpected by many people. Among all the attributes, the most famous one for him is Break Tackle attribute, which has reached 99 points. So when Nick Chubb gets the ball and wants to make a tackle, such a high attribute will make his success rate very high. At the same time, Nick Chubb is also a Superstar X-Factor player, and his ability is Wrecking Ball. As the name suggests, it can bring very destructive offensive balls to the team and win more points. Christian McCaffrey - 99 OVR San Francisco 49ers, one of the highest overall rated teams in Madden 25, also has a Halfback with the highest overall rating in this guide, Christian McCaffrey, who reached 99 points. And his best attribute is BC Vision, which has a score of 97. This best attribute, combined with his 99 overall rating, allows him to face and deal with any possibility on the field calmly. Christian McCaffrey also has a unique Superstar X-Factor ability called Ankle Breaker. When he enters a certain area, he will be more likely to use hurdles, spins, and Jukes after catching the ball to deceive the opposing player. This may sound very similar to Saquon Barkley’s First One Free ability, but the two affect different targets. Ankle Breaker affects the opponent, while First One Free only affects the current player’s movement status. These are some Halfbacks with higher overall ratings that you can choose in Madden 25. If you have a favorite player but his rating is not good, you can invest in him and let him upgrade. Or if you don’t know which position has better players, you can ask questions in iGMeet Discord, and other players will definitely be very enthusiastic to help you. In addition, you have the opportunity to get Coins for investment. Good luck!

With Madden NFL 25 just around the corner, there are a few things you might want to know before jumping into the game, including the different options for pre-ordering it, what rewards are offered, and how the content we can expect differs from previous Madden titles. Undoubtedly, the gameplay differences are definitely the major factor that most players hesitate to pre-order Madden 25. So, the answer to whether the game is the same as last year’s version, or just the roster and stats have changed, will determine whether it’s worth our money. But don’t worry, if you’re on the fence about whether to pre-order the game, here’s everything you need to know about Madden 25 to help you make a quick decision! Release Date And Platforms Madden NFL 25 will officially release on Friday, August 16, 2024. The game releases at midnight Eastern Time, which means players in earlier time zones will be able to start playing Madden 25 on Thursday night. Players with Early Access can start playing even earlier, on August 13, 2024. MUT 25 will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. PC players can pre-order the game from a variety of places, including Steam, Windows, Epic Games Store, and EA App. This game is much more system-wide than EA Sports’ other recent football game, College Football 25. Pre-Order Bonuses All players who pre-order Madden NFL 25 will receive multiple items for Ultimate Team mode and Superstar mode. For Ultimate Team, players can get Elite Player version of Christian McCaffrey. They can also choose two Strategy Items, one for offense and one for defense, to help them expand their Ultimate Team playbook. Pre-order bonuses for Superstar mode include Superstar Drip gear and a Legendary XP Boost. Legendary XP Boost is the most powerful XP gain in Madden 25, helping players level up their Superstar athletes faster. Superstar Drip gear is a jersey that is only available in PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game. There are also some pre-order bonuses that are exclusive to players who own Deluxe Edition. The first bonus is Early Access, which anyone who pre-orders Deluxe Edition will get on August 13. The second bonus is 4,600 MUT 25 Coins. Although the coins are listed as a pre-order bonus on EA website, players may still get them after Deluxe Edition is released. Standard & Deluxe Edition Madden 25 has two main Editions for players to pre-order, namely Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition. Standard Edition costs $69.99 and Deluxe Edition costs $99.99. Aside from the 4,600 Madden 25 Coins that Early Access and Deluxe Edition players get, there are virtually no differences between the two Editions, which means that players who opt for Standard Edition won’t be missing out on any major features or game modes. I think the only real reason to go for Deluxe Edition is if you’re already planning on getting some coins for Madden 25 Ultimate Team mode. And getting 4,600 MUT 25 Coins for $30 is a slight discount from the typical price. So how could this not be a way to save money? That being said, if you don’t already plan on paying for coins, then pre-ordering Deluxe Edition is a waste of money for you. So it’s probably best to go for Standard Edition first and then see if you like the Ultimate Team mode and are willing to spend the extra money for it. However, there are some situations where Deluxe Edition might be the best choice. If you want to own both College Football 25 and Madden NFL 25, then a good option is to get MVP Bundle, which includes Deluxe Editions of both games for $149.99. While this is $10 more expensive than getting Standard Edition of both games separately, the discount on Madden 25 Coins is much greater. So if players were already planning on pre-ordering both games, this could be a better option so they can test out Ultimate Team mode and get some extra coins. However, note that this Bundle is only available for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Basic Gameplay & Differences When it comes to basic gameplay, players pretty much know what to expect as Madden NFL 25 won’t change much. Rather than trying to reinvent how a football game works, Madden 25 simply makes some updates to the game engine. The main gameplay differences between Madden 25 and previous games in the series are in the game modes. Updates to Franchise mode on next-gen systems and PC add a new level of immersion to the experience. Players can now interact with their players directly in several different simulation environments and through text. Players can also now play as male or female coaches, making the experience more inclusive and accessible to a wider range of players. Superstar mode lets players create their own custom athletes and participate in seasons only at the position of their choice. What’s more, Madden 25 has added a character progression system, which can help players continuously improve their abilities and overall statistics. Ultimate Team mode has also returned to Madden NFL 25, but this game mode has been controversial in the past because of its pay-to-win mechanism. Players who don’t mind working hard to win new players or are willing to pay for this mode seem to like it. Others prefer to stick to game modes that don’t give players advantages based on the amount of money they spend on the game. How about it, after knowing this information, have you decided to pre-order Madden 25? In any case, look forward to its arrival to bring us a brand new gaming experience!

With Madden NFL 25 about to be released, many players are wondering how it will differ from its predecessor, Madden NFL 24. Since the first John Madden Football game was released in 1990, Madden series has released new games every year. However, the level of updates and improvements to the games over the years has been inconsistent. The upcoming Madden NFL 25 seems to have put a lot of effort into the game mechanics. 10. New Catching Mechanics MUT 25 has made significant improvements to the game’s catching mechanics, introducing a variety of catching methods for players to choose from. For example, the ball-handling catching option allows players to more securely catch the ball first, ensuring that the ball can be successfully brought into the field. For those who like to take risks, the one-handed catch is a good choice, especially when playing as top wide receivers, which can significantly increase the range of the catch, although the risk of dropping the ball when hit is also higher. These new catch options give players more control over the outcome of a catch, rather than having to rely entirely on the receiver AI to determine the outcome of the catch. This helps reduce the frustration that players may have experienced, which is ruining a successful pass at a critical moment because of an automatic out-of-bounds or fumble. 9. Some Actions Become More Realistic Madden NFL 25 has made adjustments to the juking mechanics, a change that may cause mixed feelings among the player base. In Madden NFL 24, jukes were overly exaggerated, allowing players to perform unrealistic lateral moves, causing them to gain extra advantages and unnecessary yards in the game. As a result, MUT 25 aims to make jukes more realistic. This change may be welcomed by players who are looking for a more realistic football experience, but it may not be satisfactory for those who like to perform hard actions. In addition, Madden NFL 25 also introduces spin move as a supplement to juking. While the spin move can be used effectively and offers an additional element, the game may not have the explosive and powerful effects in Madden NFL 24 for running. 8. Improved Hit Stick Mechanism Madden 25 adds more complexity and depth to Hit Stick in the game through BOOM Tech technology. In previous Madden versions, using Hit Stick for defensive tackles was relatively simple, with players simply flicking the stick to attempt a tackle. However, MUT 25 has improved this mechanism, making tackles more detailed and emphasizing the importance of aiming accuracy and timing, thus bringing new gameplay to the linebacker position in the game. Now, when players use Hit Stick to make a tackle, you must ensure that you choose the right direction and operate at the right time. If the aim is inaccurate or the timing is too early, the ball carrier may easily break through the tackle or dodge it completely. However, if the player can perfectly execute the tackle at the right moment, this will not only effectively intercept the opposing player, but also increase the chance of causing a fumble. 7. Greater Feedback About Passes Madden NFL 25 introduces a pass feedback system. This provides instant feedback on the quality of the pass by displaying a small circle at the pass target location. In addition, this feedback circle is color-coded to further indicate the difficulty of catching the pass. A green circle means that as long as the receiver is within the circle, the ball can be easily caught. A yellow circle indicates that the catch is somewhat difficult, but still feasible. A red circle implies that the pass is almost impossible to catch. This pass feedback provides players with valuable additional information to help them make better judgments and operations. With the new tactics introduced in Madden 25, players may need to rely more on Madden 25 Coins to unlock these new features and strategies in order to maximize your gaming experience and gain a competitive advantage in the game. 6. More Options For Sliding Protection When preparing for an attack, players often need to make corresponding adjustments based on the opponent’s defensive strategy. MUT 25 provides more flexibility and options. Now, players can choose from eight different options for how to adjust the offensive line, which is richer than the previous four options, providing players with more strategic possibilities. In the process of adjusting the offensive line, players will also get feedback on which defensive players are covered and which may be left unguarded. The same icons will also appear on the defensive side, letting players know which of your linemen and linebackers may face unguarded situations in a particular game, which is indicated by a small fire icon above your heads. 5. Recreates Signature Running And Movement Styles Madden NFL 25 has made some adjustments to visual performance. One change is that the game pays more attention to making players look and move more realistically. By remaking the signature running and movement styles of certain athletes, the game provides players with a feeling as if you are really watching that player control the ball. In addition, Madden 25 has also worked hard to imitate the typical behavior of NFL players in the game. When approaching defensive players, you will also make visual adjustments to protect the ball. These subtle movements greatly enhance the realism of the game. 4. New Star-Driven Plays Madden NFL 25 introduces a cool new feature, star-driven plays. Teams now have unique plays in your playbooks that are designed to prioritize passing the ball to all-star receivers and running backs. Some of these plays are even based on strategies that real NFL teams use when trying to get the ball to your stars during games. This new feature gives players a great opportunity to make sure you can play your favorite NFL players better. In addition, the addition of this style of play helps highlight the uniqueness of each team. 3. New Hot Route Options & Custom Stems Madden NFL 25 has made significant efforts to increase the control and customization options players have in each game. This is particularly evident in the newly introduced Hot Route options. Players can now pick from a range of new options to create a Hot Route that differs from MUT 24. This change makes players feel that you always have room for choice in the game, even if the game strategy you choose may not initially be the best plan for the current defense. 2. New Switch Stick Feature In Madden 25, the ability to make quick decisions and react to opponents also applies to defense. The newly introduced Switch Stick feature allows players to adjust the routes of defensive players according to the opponent’s offensive strategy. This means that players can choose to double-team receivers who are considered more threatening, or quickly change your defensive positions when you find a favorable interception opportunity. Switch Stick is a strategy that carries high risks but can also bring high rewards. For players who have a deep understanding of defense, this feature can be a key tool to effectively stop the opponent’s offense. However, this feature is completely optional, meaning that players can choose not to use it if you prefer to rely on the AI ​​for defense or you are not confident in your ability to quickly adjust your strategy. For some players, this may be a change you won’t even notice, but those who learn how to use it effectively will greatly appreciate this fresh addition. 1. New Commentary Teams While MUT 25 does not add content as extensively as in ECollege Football 25, it seems to be working hard to improve player immersion. This includes adding celebrations after big plays and showing players’ pre-game preparations. These added details make the game more like a real NFL game, rather than just a Madden game. In addition, Madden NFL 25 introduces two new commentary teams to further enhance the game’s immersion. Mike Tirico and Greg Olsen and Kate Scott and Brock Huard join the game’s commentary lineup, bringing more unique voices and perspectives to the game. Such changes can bring some nice freshness to Madden 25. Still, it’s up to the players themselves whether you choose to own this latest version because of these changes.
