Madden NFL 25 Mobile Football Reviews

by Thisgameisverybroken67

The game has been out for a few months now, and the same glitches have been there since day one. Where’s the effort? Is anybody trying to make this game better? Where is the fairness to ftp players like mm20 had? The tournaments are a good idea, but fix the random plays just not counting, the scheme being based off coach for some reason, and balance the draft!! I should not have an 82 qb, 83 wr, and a gold hb because only 1 was presented to me, that I chose not to take as there was a better option, and it was such an early round. I know this was the first draft tourney, but it was extremely frustrating to not reach the max tier because my team was god awful. First round I recovered 1 of my 6 fumbles, none dropped by my qb. The second round I had a good team, but only an hour before it reset. In that our I got about halfway done, only having 2 losses the whole time. Then my final draft was the joke of a team I explained above. Please balance the drafts in the future. The new field pass is literally a copy and paste but with a purple theme instead of a red theme. Promos have been pay to win as well. This whole game is literally a joke. A lot of new players have started this year, and love it. If they experienced last year, it would be hard for them to continue playing this mess.

The gameplay is garbage you can’t pick the ball anymore. The game chooses when you can get a interception. The yard gameplay is garbage. Ik your not gonna see this or fix it bc your EA and your only making madden for money not the fans. Overdrive is a downgrade I mean madden made it that’s why it’s trash that’s why 2k makes better simulation football games then madden. Madden do care about the people buying the games. They only fix stuff so less people will stop playing their games. Madden is petty the nfl is just as bad as them. NFL continues to let them make bad football games just to make more money. Why do I have to play ultimate team to play draft champions. Why is Madden squads only on ultimate team. Is bc madden is only focused on ultimate team. We still got the same relocation teams as madden 25 on Xbox 360 and PS3. It’s true that madden takes thing out the game then adds it back like it’s new content. Ultimate team is the main thing madden Is focused on look at madden mobile. Thing that been in the game but they brought back as something new. Let’s name a few shall we 1. Superstar abilities and xfactor (madden 7) abilities where already in a madden. 2. Mut draft(Draft Champions) 3. Mut Squads(Head to Head squads). This is disappointing madden is like the government of football games terrible but their name is powerful.

I’ve played madden mobile since the first year they had it in 2014, all I played was seasons mode and the live events back then and I still had a blast. The game remained very fun until 2018 when they named it “Madden Overdrive” and overhauled all the graphics and gameplay to look like you’re running the game on a console. The whole reason Madden Mobile was fun was because it was a simpler version! If I wanted to get the console game I would play on the console. Now you can hardly play without your phone dying and the gameplay is too complicated for someone just trying to casually play on their phone. And 2021 has been the worst year yet for the game. Ultimate teams season mode is now completely gone! There is nothing you can do with your UT now except play online which has always been very tiresome. There are still live events but there are so many and they are so buried through menus that’s it’s not even worth it. I miss the live event map that’s been gone for years now! But probably the worst of all is that now the auction house has been removed... the only way you could get the actual players that you want to have on your team and they took it out! There is no way to upgrade your team now other than buying pro packs (which only give you random players). Seriously used to be my favorite game on my phone, I even preferred it over madden games on the console. Now it’s just a crappy clone of the console madden games

I know people said that the old ones were bad but I think the complete opposite. The best years we’re 2015, 2016 and 2017. This is coming from someone who played every year of this game and reached a 95 OVR in all games.I am just going to list what I hope they change next year in order. First off, I want the 99 OVR cap on players back and NO more training or training players. Next, I want the auction house back. It was such a big part of my friends and I have for fun seeing who could build the best team for 100K and etc. If EA decides to save the game and bring back the auction house then make all the players auction able it would bring the prices down of lots of cards and make everyone’s team better and that everyone has a fair advantage. Additionally, bring back old promos like Flashbacks, Veterans, Journey Mans, Legends, BCA, X-Factors, Mobile Masters, Domination, LVL Masters, and Ultimate Legends. These gave many people fun packs or things to open or play when there was no point in opening store packs or playing the game. Next, store packs, if EA brings these back make it so we can pull anything in any pack. Also, make sure EVERYONE gets a card next year because I know people don’t have cards in the game. And please add new players and cards to the game for new promos like the past years. The moral of this review is just make it like the old years of the game and EA will do so much better.

This is by far the worst Madden Mobile version I’ve played. This game used to be perfect, could play for hours upon hours, Madden 16 was the best version of this game for sure. Game was phenomenal until it was changed to Madden Overdrive. The gameplay got worse, the mechanics are terrible, and there isn’t much to do as there was back then. Auctions are gone which was a great way to interact with the game and build your team. Even Ultimate Team isn’t what it used to be, it is beyond boring, and the overall going over 99 is ridiculous, it ruins the game, and makes you waste hours and hours for one player. The sets aren’t even worth doing, you get very little for doing so much, it is pointless. I wish the developers would actually take note and give the fans what they want, but unfortunately that isn’t gonna happen anytime soon, Madden Mobile needs to go back to Madden Mobile 14-17, not whatever this new version is, unplayable and very frustrating to even try to enjoy. Hopefully notes are taken into consideration and the devs go back to an older version, with the aspects we want for Madden. I hardly ever write reviews, but this is just ridiculous how much of a downward spiral this game has taken. Won’t be playing for a while until actions are taken, very unsatisfied with everything about the game. Please go back to the way Madden Mobile used to be. 😤

I played the game from the original madden mobile up until I believe madden mobile 18. Once madden overdrive started it became way to complex. Before 18 hit, there were 2 currencies, coins and madden cash. That was perfect. Once 18 hit you could upgrade your players which I thought was cool but it made no sense cause it wasn’t on console. Once madden overdrive came out, the game went downhill fast. The power rating is horrible, players exceed 99 overall, something that isn’t in console. There are many currencies that make no sense at all. It was pay to win for the top tier cards. Pro Packs were so bad. Half the things were only sellable if you bought them with madden cash. This game could return to be great if the currencies would be normal, if it was updated like regular madden console. Bringing back live events would help, but the main things in my mind are to make the game where packs are fun to open, make it where 99 is the cap and mobile gets the same content as console, let things be sellable. Content is what makes up for bad gameplay. Gameplay on mobile will always be bad so if EA invested their time on programs and bringing it closer to madden console content and focused less on gameplay, it would be a step in the right direction.

So many A.I issues i dont even know where to begin. If you try playing a regular season with your favorite team’s roster rather than a mut roster, you’ll see nothing but missed tackles by the a.i or just something beyond ridiculous. like desean jackson breaking lb through sheer strength. MaddenNFL25 doesn’t take into any consideration what these player’s strengths and weaknesses are while severely crippling your players capabilities in order to make the game more difficult if you choose to raise the difficulty. I always play on hard and it’s mind blowing how many times i can call the right thing and have it not matter because gold and silver players can’t tackle or catch. The A.I only scores with 60+ yard plays which is another issue. If they aren’t hitting a home run they’re going 3 and out, and sometimes the home runs happen all game long because the game seems to forget gold and silver players are NFL players too. I play MaddenNFL25 for my love of football but this game needs a major fixing. There is no way to play a simulator of a real life game if physics don’t even matter. Also players ability to tackle should not be relevant to your own camera angle. I can bring a strong safety from up top to tackle any tight end, but because I’m coming directly at a tight end it doesn’t matter who the strong safety or tight ends are, the tight end is stiff arming the strong safety and going for a long play.

I know all y’all care about is money which is why madden gets worse every year and mobile is pay to win, but come on. You added audibles in the yard but not the actual game? So now instead of audibling you have to call a time out because the play you chose beforehand won’t work with the coverage the other team is in. And maybe add the lateral button to the actual game too. And maybe commentary but I know that’s too much to ask for. And speaking of the yard I’ve been waiting for a new part of the yard to come out for forever. And why can’t you upgrade your yard player past 83? There is so much more to say but I know no one from EA even bothers to read reviews because if they did they wouldn’t add stuff to the game no one cares about like being able to change you’re yard characters outfit. That doesn’t matter and no one will care when it’s gone. Celebrations are kinda cool so they should keep that, but come on. Google “madden rating over time” and you will see. They keep going down. If ea made quality games people would buy it more instead of going online telling other people not to waste their money on it. Unless some major things happen I will never spend money on madden ever again. This is really frustrating because I grew up with madden. So I was able to see the decline as it happened. I could say more but I don’t have time for this.

The passing icons are way too far away from the receivers and it makes you throw the ball to the wrong receiver at an extremely high rate. The icons should be attached to the receivers helmet so that won’t happen. You don’t get enough program stamina to complete program events and it takes entirely too long to regenerate more program stamina. Items in the auction house are severely over priced. Fumbling is out of control in this game. For example, Bo Jackson fumbles out of control and it doesn’t make since cause I don’t remember Bo fumbling like that back in his playing days. There should be a button that allows you to cover up the ball so you don’t fumble. There’s no way a defender can get to the quarterback before he he takes 3 steps back but in this game that’s exactly what happens and it not cool. I don’t care if the defense is blitzing, if the QB is backing up the defense shouldn’t be able to get him as soon as the ball is snapped. There’s more that needs to be fixed but these are some of the main issues I see. Also it’s unfair that the east coast has to wait until 10:30am to refresh and the west coast refreshes at 7:30. It should be 7:30 for the east coast and 4:30 for the west coast so that the game will be refreshed for everyone as soon as they wake up.

I’ve been playing Madden Mobile since it’s first time on mobile. And I can truly say this game has gotten worse and worse. Every year EA tries a new kind of optional play and it gets HORRIBLE! This year Journey is definitely the worst ever, and also Arena play. With journey the games are extremely difficult to play and take to long to gain the points you need to reach a higher milestone. And the TP points and coin rewards are even more horrible because you don’t get enough to increase your players OVR. In Arena play what makes it extremely stupid is the fact that you get 1 stamina to either win or your going to have to wait till the following morning to play again. What’s the point in playing at all. And if your a player with a clearly stronger team you can easily come down to the less competitive team and keep bashing those teams for cheap wins and cheaper rewards. I only gave this game 2 stars, because the graphics have become better. And I’ve always giving Madden 1 star because it’s just Madden. There are so many other things wrong with this game that in my League whom we have been together for the last 2-3 yrs will not be playing as much anymore. It’s definitely lost it’s taste from when Madden Mobile first came out.

So far I’m having a good time with the game but only because I’m buying in app purchases. But at least with these in app purchases your not gonna be bad at the game unless you just don’t know what your doing. I have one account when I first started playing the game and no cap I might of spent 300 to 400 dollars worth of in app purchases. It’s most likely not worth it if you don’t have money of course. I have a second account where I actually knew what to buy and maybe spend about 200 to 300. I have issues and that’s a lot of money. So I put all this money in this game to be at a better position than most and still have uncommon cards and rare cards just not in my lineup doing nothing. Please let’s do something about Ea. Can you guys improve the Defensive Strategy like get more specific. Like in stead of saying second and long can you go by yards or let us add in extra defensive settings to get more specific and advanced for our defensive settings. I’m having a good time with the game just because I put money into it which is really not worth it for anyone to be putting that much money in a game. I hope y’all see this and put more effort in certain areas of the game. But it’s okay I just hope y’all come up with a good system that fair for people with extra cards for putting time and effort and money into your game

It’s a great game it’s really fun to play and there is a lot to enjoy the only thing for me is that it takes 3 minutes to gain 1 stamina which is insanely long I mean every thing that you do is either 25 or 50 stamina so when I run out of stamina I’m looking at over 10 hours for stamina to fully regenerate and the only option around it is to either buy stamina fill ups or once a day get daily stamina bonus and watch two ads once a day which still gives barely enough to do all the daily things in the training center so I think that either the Stamina cost to play games or really do anything needs to be decreased or the time to regenerate stamina needs to be decreased to like 1 minute instead of 3 minutes preferably 30 seconds which would make much more sense but 1 minute would cut down the regenerate time in my scenario from almost 11 hours to 4 hours which is insane difference and would allow many other players to play the game more frequently throughout the day and would make it a little bit easier to level up players because i could actually do more then just the daily training center stuff everyday without having to use what madden cash I have (which I don’t buy madden cash) to get a stamina refill.

Let me start out by saying that this is a good game. Note that I said good, not great my reason for this is that even though you can TECHNICALLY get a very good team while not paying anything (I know this because I have a 91 OVR team and I haven’t given EA a single penny.) They do a lot of stuff that they THINK slides under the radar. First of all, they slowly decrease the value of your gems and coins. For example, you buy 200 program stamina for 500 gems. Fine right? NO, because after you make this purchase twice, then they start to sell you 100 program stamina for 500 gems. The other thing is they make everything in their shop SUPER OVERPRICED! You are just trying to get some decent players and you are a naive little 8-year old, you buy a core pack for 100,000$ dollars, well guess what, you can get the same stuff that’s in that core pack for 20% of the price. The last thing they do is every set item as soon as the event ends drops drastically in value. Say you have like 50 TOTY badges but no TOTY coins *cough cough* you now can’t trade them in for a set and what COULD have been worth 40,000$ dollars is now worth 1,000 dollars. It’s SUPER ANNOYING! But yeah, it’s a good game over all but those things are just really annoying. So good game, good not great.

by Jake-Jack

I love the game and the mechanics of it. I really enjoy playing however the one thing that always seems to get me if there’s less than 10 seconds or something in the 4th quarter and I run, well easy to avoid a defender right? No, because I can’t control weather my guy spin moves or decides to try and truck. I can’t control it when I’m trying to dive for a td either because instead of getting the touchdown I needed to win by diving into the end zone, my guy decides to spin and then get tackled and not make the td. I wish there was some sort of way you could control this and it would make the game so much more enjoyable.

And on another note this game won’t let you score a touchdown endless you are standing in it, running into it, or diving into it, because anytime I go for a 2 point conversion I’ll get tackled INTO the end zone and it won’t count it for the 2 points which is stupid because everyone knows when you’re in the end zone with the ball it’s a touchdown.

If you could consider trying to make a fix that would be greatly appreciated however I know there are lots of things going on so focus on the important

Great game that could be a little bit better. I’m not gonna complain like most about Pay to Win, I realize I will never be a top player and I’m fine with that. There is always something to be grinding to earn. I am not a fan of the yard, just not my thing. I want to give a couple of ideas to EA that I think would make gameplay more fun and a level playing field to an extent:
1. Create a album or folder where you can store your cards that are not starters that you want to keep. That way you won’t accidentally sell them or something.
2. Make it where you can have multiple lineups. Maybe you have a depth chart. Maybe you have a lineup where you can ONLY have gold players. Also have a team of only silver and or bronze players as well. Maybe you could have tournaments (like Arena or Overdrive) weekly or biweekly where you can only use your gold team (or silver team only). This would level the playing field big time. I realize that MaddenNFL25 needs to make money, but I think it would be fun to have competitions where the playing field is more even.
Overall I love the game. Just wish there were a few additions that could make the game more fun.

I started this game back in December when Charles Woodson and Brett Favre were the masters (season 3). I loved the game at that time! Fairly easy competition, fun league, fun rewards, all that stuff! My main problem now with the game which made it a 3.5 star for me was the pay to win statistic. I didn’t purchase much from madden and still had a 99 overall team as of today, but then I look at these other players with 104 overalls and it looks impossible to be good at the game. Even the promos became pay to win and it was too tempting to purchase from that promo. All the good rewards were easy for the purchase players to get 3 masters and me to get maybe a 99 or 100 overall. I enjoyed this game, thank you Madden for the wonderful memories, but I’d rather spend my time doing other important things in place of this game. Thank you Madden so much for giving me great memories, along with this game getting me closer to my brother and something to talk about. I hope that this review does you good, but I leave my place here. I’m sorry for saying that I’m uninstalling Madden by tomorrow, but It’s the most appealing thing to my eye. Thank you again for this game!

This game is amazing! It isn’t repetitive at all with the new events and promos. There is one problem I ran into and that is it crashes sometimes. I don’t know if it’s because my phone can’t handle it because it is quite a bit to run at one time or if it’s just a glitch but it does crash. (I did see another review saying that theirs crashes as well) But other than that it is perfect! The events are so entertaining and rewarding if you really grind them. As of writing this there is a Pro Bowl event and it is crazy good! There are of course some purchases you can make to upgrade your team faster, but you can progress fine without using money. One thing I do find a bit annoying is when I get outbid because I can get there fast enough or the auction can end because 2 people are outbidding each other but again that is just part of the game. Coins are a bit of a pain to get if none of your auctions sell but if you have enough stamina you can do the coin event that give you 27,500 coins for 450 stamina. Another thing is program stamina is REALLY hard to get because you only get 1 per 3 mins and you usually use 20 - 50 at a time. (The cap is 200, with no way to upgrade it unlike regular stamina that gets 2 more with every level up).

by Guy019273

Usually I like madden, but this new season got me messed up. I don’t like how they created the training process as a key focal point and how they got rid of auctions. Now, there’s no point in getting higher key players besides that you can train them a little bit higher. Bring back the old mm. I was expecting greatness and got mediocracy. Also the fact that you can’t watch replays all the way, like it’s as soon as the player is down, that’s no fun. Also, what’s been kinda making me mad is the fact that they got rid of the speedflex helmets in the game. They look better and give a better feel. They have the speedflexes on when you customize your person, but not in the real game? Again, I hate the training focal point and I hate the ugly helmets and how they essentially got rid of special or rare players, in games past like overdrive and the 21 season. I’ve been playing since before overdrive and this game has come a long way, but don’t cheap out. Also I REALLY HATE HOW YOU CANT PLAY WITH YOUR MUT TEAM IN SEASONS. That’s trash and please fix everything I talked about in this or imma tell yo mama

by Coltgravy

I Love the game I play I a lot of it. I am no money spent and I hate the competitive advantage players have when they spend money. I am a 89 overall team I play 88 overall teams that spend money and sometimes lose and it is not because there better then me. I also don’t like how you have to wait a full day for seasons to reset after you have other completed the seasons or forfeited. Now let’s go to the good things. The game makes me happy when I am sad because it is super fun and I love football. The promos you post aren’t overlapping so I don’t split my program stamina. It is a lot easier to get coins in madden Mobile instead of console I really like that not because I am lazy. I thought the program stamina was super annoying last year when I started playing madden mobile know I learned to cope with it. I love that you can have friends in the games and leagues. There is one more thing I would really like it if you guys of at E.A. could make a game with 3 minute quarter and have us play other people and play both offense and defense against the other person.

by TrumpetTurtle17

I mean, in theory it’s possible to get good without paying, but literally impossible. EA knows EXACTLY what they're doing, and it isn't good. I played madden 20 with my cousin since it came out, and honestly it was pretty decent of a game. My goal was to get a 99 overall team without paying a cent. Eventually I achieved my goal and could destroy people online. But flippin by that time ea had invented 115 ovr players for the pay to win group. Theres no way to win- YOU CANT BEAT THESE CROOKS. Shortly after, this game came out, and they made me get this janky trash. Gee thanks EA, thanks for ruining all my hard progress- ALL GONE literally 50 hours at least of grinding the madden mint. Screw you guys just screw you. Im not even sure how this crap is legal. And this is only the tip of the iceberg, Im mot even going to mention those scandals involving star wars battlefront or peggle blast. Something needs to change at EA like really soon, people are starting to realize how greedy these clowns are.
