Madden 25: Top 10 Best Middle And Outside Linebackers Revealed

In the real football league, every team will dream of winning Lombardi trophy and starting NFL season after hard training. And in the course of the season, many teams will experience more brutal games to compete for the glory in the playoffs. These results are unpredictable because the strength of actual players will be unstable. But fortunately, in football video games like Madden NFL 25, you can infer their strength based on the total rating of each team or each player, and predict whether they will win or lose in the game. The total rating of a team will be evaluated based on the team’s offense, defense and the strength of individual players, so the total rating can be used as the basis for your choice of a team. If you still don’t know which team to choose among many teams, this guide will provide you with several options with good total ratings so that you can avoid the trouble of entanglement. Cincinnati Bengals With 87 Overall Cincinnati Bengals is a team from AFC North, with a rating of 87 in MUT 25. After participating in Super Bowl in 2022, many players in the team were injured, which prevented Cincinnati Bengals from realizing their full potential, and they have never won any major honors since then. However, many fans still believe that they can turn this situation around in subsequent seasons. When you receive Cincinnati Bengals, you can first let them try more passing games, because there are many good passers in this team. This is the best way to improve their overall rating and attributes. For example, quarterback Joe Burrow and receiver Ja’Marr Chase both have very important X-Factor abilities in the game, which will make them very powerful when they cooperate. In addition, this powerful combination, coupled with the excellent pass catcher Tee Higgins, can make your tackles very good at attacking. Philadelphia Eagles With 87 Overall Players familiar with the league know that Philadelphia Eagles have the most balanced lineup, so it is not surprising that it has an overall rating of 87 points in the game. But despite such a lineup, Philadelphia Eagles have never recovered after losing in 2023 Super Bowl LVII game. After making some major moves this offseason, we can all look forward to a wonderful performance in 2024. Back to the team, Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line is unquestionable because it has some of the best offensive players in the league. For example, Saquon Barkley, who the team got at a high price, is also a player with X-Factor abilities, so you can let him run early and run often in the game, so that you will have a better chance of winning the game. If you are at a disadvantage on the field and there is not enough space for Saquon Barkley to play, you can let him drop back and pass the ball to playmakers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. This way, you will have a better chance of winning the game and getting Madden 25 Coins reward. Cleveland Browns With 87 Overall Another team with an overall rating of 87 points is Cleveland Browns. Although they have been considered the laughingstock of the league and not favored by everyone in the past few decades, some wise draft picks and the development of key players in the team in recent years have brought Cleveland Browns back to the public eye. But whether it can become famous in the playoffs requires it to go through some efforts. In Cleveland Browns, the attribute you can focus on is the team’s defensive ability, because the overall rating and various attributes of the defensive players in the team are relatively good. For example, Myles Garrett, who has defended the title of Defensive Player Of The Year, can ensure that his offensive teammates can make key attacks by attacking the quarterback of the opposing team. Even if the opposing player holds the ball, the excellent receivers in Cleveland Browns can turn the situation around, including superstar Denzel Ward. Detroit Lions With 88 Overall Detroit Lions from NFC North received an overall rating of 88 points in Madden 25. Like Cleveland Browns, they have long been known as an extremely underdog team. But the performance of Detroit Lions in the 2024 NFC Championship game has changed many people’s minds and made them believe that its future is bright. But unlike Cleveland Browns, the chief advantage of Detroit Lions is in the offense. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta are the two most reliable targets on this team, especially in certain scenarios. For example, when your team starts to prepare for a return pass, you can let star right tackle Penei Sewell create a running lane for you, and then Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery will protect the ball and pass it to the two attackers, and they will create excellent goals. The more points you score, the more MUT 25 Coins you will be rewarded with. Dallas Cowboys With 88 Overall Dallas Cowboys has a very good lineup and has won many games, but because of its poor performance in the playoffs, it has only an overall score of 88 points. Like Philadelphia Eagles in the same region, Dallas Cowboys have talented players on offense and defense. For example, Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence can protect your team from the threat of the opponent’s quarterback, and CeeDee Lamb with an overall score of 96 points can make your team have more points. After you take over Dallas Cowboys, which look good on the surface, the most important thing is not to rush to adjust the attributes of each player, but to find a way to unite them and have stronger organizational ability. The above is some teams with better overall ratings that you can choose in Madden NFL 25. Although they all have some minor problems, I believe you can solve them with your strategy!

With each release of Madden NFL series, Franchise game mode will once again make many players crazy because in Franchise game mode they can choose their favorite team and build a strong team with players of different levels. You can choose to be a team coach or boss in Franchise game mode, and each identity has different ways to win. But when a new season starts, you should not enter immediately, but make a careful plan for your team. In this way, you can make corresponding adjustments to your team within a controllable range, instead of panicking. But making a plan is not a simple thing. You may need some tips and tricks in this guide. I believe that with the help of this guide, you can make a plan that will give you a more enjoyable Franchise experience. 1. Choose A Team With A Similar Game Style To Yours When you enter Franchise, you will see a lot of teams and their overall ratings, offensive ratings, and defensive ratings on the screen. This is your first meeting, and you can choose to choose a team with a strong offensive line or a strong defensive team based on your play style. If you really can’t choose, then San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs would be your best choice, as they both have an overall rating of 88 points. Then, you can show their true on-the-spot ability by letting this team play a full game, play offensive snaps, or controlling all the defensive snaps. In addition, you can also see each team’s position in 2024 NFL Rankings at the bottom of Franchise Info, and how it will develop in the future. These are all to help you choose a better and more suitable team for you. After making your choice, you need to choose whether to be the team’s coach or the team’s owner, which will have different effects on the team. In addition, you can also select Change Roles button to see how these two roles will affect your franchise experience before the league starts. Finally, it’s best to go through all your league settings to ensure that everything is in line with the best experience you want. 2. Don’t Leave Your Training Camp Idle When Franchise starts, there are many mini-games in your Training Camp for you to choose from. They will not only train your players but also provide you with some points. This is very helpful for you to get Madden 25 Coins reward in subsequent activities. When you start a mini-game in Training Camp, you may get a Bronze or Gold medal in it. And when the mini-game ends, you can choose to try again or change a mini-game. As the name of this technique suggests, never leave your Training Camp idle, because when you leave the mini-game, Training Camp will be locked and you will not get any rewards. As long as you participate, you can at least get a Bronze medal before leaving, which is an honor after all. But this does not mean that you can ignore these mini-games. You should still try to get a higher score, because these mini-games have difficulty settings, and you can learn many new features in the game here and make reasonable modifications to your team building plan. 3. Fully Trust Your Players Whether it is for players in the virtual game or players in the real field, it is very important to keep the morale high. When you make a wrong choice in Franchise Storyline elements, your players are likely to start to lose their spirits and their Morale will be severely hit. When things have happened, you need to fully trust your players, because the higher Morale of the players can make them energetic and complete a very destructive game. In addition, when you are interviewed, you’d better say something favorable to the players, which will greatly avoid team conflicts. If you are facing some major choices, all you need to do is act cautiously and believe in yourself. 4. Set An Achievable Goal Just mentioned, you need to make a careful plan before each season. But you need to know first that you can find Franchise Staff from Manage Team interface in the game, and then you can upgrade Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator, Defensive Coordinator, and Player Personal in this interface. You need to get MUT 25 Coins to upgrade the above content in Gameday Goals under Staff Members. Setting more difficult Gameday Goals will indeed bring more rewards, but this is risky. So for the sake of your coins and players, you should set a goal that is easier to achieve to ensure the maximum return. In this way, your employees will have enough ability to help you find more football talents, otherwise your team will stagnate. 5. Explore The Potential Of Your Players Whether you are the head coach or the owner of the team, you need to let the most promising players in the team play their best potential. If you don’t know who has the greatest potential, you can directly focus on some Superstar X-Factor Players, who will develop faster than ordinary players and play Zone and Superstar Abilities in the game. But this does not mean that those ordinary players are not worth your attention, because some players have deep potential. You need to bring them to Training Camp and let them experience some challenges. After completing the corresponding challenges, you may see the strength of this player. It is recommended that you let a player experience all the challenges, and never make your own decisions based on the quality of the player’s attributes, because this will be very one-sided. The above are some tips and tricks you need to learn in Franchise mode of Madden NFL 25. I hope you can read this guide before building a strong team. If you have already started to experience Franchise, don’t worry, you can adjust in time. If you are interested in other game modes in MUT 25, you are welcome to express your own opinions in iGMeet Discord. If you are lucky, you can also participate in some raffles in it to get some coins. Good luck!

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!

In every new version of Madden NFL video game series, there are some teams whose players have low overall ratings, have not won many awards in the actual game, and most importantly, have lost their way. These teams are called rebuild teams in the game. Among all the game modes, Franchise is the easiest to make these teams that are almost at the bottom of the league enter the coveted Super Bowl. The same is true for Madden 25, so when you lead them to glory again in the game, not only will they get the honor, but you will also have a robust sense of satisfaction. But there are so many rebuild teams in each game, and you can only choose one. Who should you choose? This guide will introduce you to the most worthy rebuild teams in Madden NFL 25, and you can choose the one that suits you best according to your own abilities. Chicago Bears If you have been following this year’s Hard Knocks on HBO, then Chicago Bears will definitely be your first choice for a rebuild team because it has the top rookie of 2024, Caleb Williams. Although the former USC quarterback currently has an overall rating of only 76 in Madden 25, he will be even stronger after you invest MUT 25 Coins in him. He is also one of the best talent combinations in the entire league in terms of skill positions. He and D’Andre Swift and Khalil Herbert form an excellent backfield running back committee that can keep the entire backfield under their control. In addition, Chicago Bears ushered in some very strong receivers this season, such as Keenan Allen, who was selected as a 6-time Pro Bowler, and Rome Odunze, who once played for Washington. It also signed a 4-year contract extension with its own D.J. Moore. With the addition of 25-year-old TE Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears’ receiving team is really strong! But as a rebuild team, Chicago Bears also have a very obvious disadvantage: Trenches. On the defensive side of the field, although it currently has a commander, Montez Sweat, and a 2024 rookie, Austin Booker. If you take over Chicago Bears, you need to make a choice between them: use a lot of MUT 25 Coins to enhance Booker, whose initial overall rating is only 69 points, or recruit another player to match up with Sweat? In addition to the defense you need to pay attention to, on the offensive line, you only have one player with an overall rating of more than 80-RG Teven Jenkins. So you need to sign as many forwards as possible after taking over to ensure the safety of Williams on the field. New York Giants Another team that is very popular in Hard Knocks this year is New York Giants, because they experienced a very big thing in the offseason: New York Giants’ star running back Saquon Barkley left as a free agent and joined Philadelphia. Although it is very sad for this team to lose a star player, it is not too heavy because there are all kinds of young baseball talents on this team. For example, WR Malik Nabers, TE Theo Johnson, CB Andru Phillips, and FS Tyler Nubin all have some excellent qualities waiting for you to develop. In addition, pass rushers Dexter Lawrence II, Brian Burns, and Kayvon Thibodeaux are all under 26 years old, so they have unlimited potential! It is worth mentioning that even the reserve players are rookies under 25 years old, so New York Giants have a bright future. But for New York Giants, the most lacking is the quarterback. Former quarterback Daniel Jones had to end his 2023 season because of an ACL injury at the age of 27, and there is no guarantee that he will play in subsequent seasons. This means that his overall rating in Madden NFL 25 may remain at 71 points for a long time, or even decrease. There are many young talents at quarterback throughout the league. What you need to do is to select and sign some elite players as much as possible so that the entire team can shine again in the Giants Super Bowl. Denver Broncos In Mile High City, Denver Broncos has one of the longest rebuilding periods in the league. It has not made the playoffs since winning the game in Super Bowl 50. Part of the reason is too frequent changes in quarterbacks. There are currently 6 players playing for Denver Broncos. So after you take over Denver Broncos, the first thing you need to do is to stabilize the quarterback selection, whether it is using more MUT 25 Coins or using strategies, as long as it is stabilized, you don’t need to go through too much team running-in time. Currently, Denver Broncos has a 24-year-old rookie center named Bo Nix. Although his initial overall rating is only 72, his outstanding performance in the preseason will definitely significantly improve his rating. Unlike other rebuild teams, Denver Broncos’ offensive line is currently no problem, because 3 players have an overall rating of more than 80. But you need to pay attention to the receivers of this team, because most of the receivers in the team are close to 30 years old, which means they have no potential and there will be many injuries to them. So in the early stages of reconstruction, you can first look for some receivers to reduce their burden. In addition, on defense, you also need to recruit as many high-rated players as possible, because in Denver Broncos, only cornerback Patrick Surtain II has an overall rating of more than 80. You can choose to build around it on defense, which will make your defense seamless throughout the game. These are the three rebuild teams you can focus on in Madden NFL 25. If you take over one of them, you will face some big challenges, but don’t lose heart, because there is a very bright light waiting for you ahead!
