Was very excited (like many) when EA dropped preview trailers of the presentation in CFB 25 and gave us the motto, "because every school in the game is someone's favorite". It harkens back to the amazing times at EA in the 90's when "if it's in the game, it's in the game". I was thrilled not so much for the return of college football, but that it should mean Madden would step up its product and finally give us a heightened gameday experience with different shots of crazy fans in the stands and players leaping into the stands after a TD and detailed stat lines from big plays. All of which were in the game just two years ago.

It didn't happen in Madden 25. There have been advancements in the audio presentation, no doubt, but what I mentioned above regarding presentation should be bare bone basics that are enhanced each year, not shelved. Just one of the reasons why people get so frustrated with EA because year after year Madden feels incomplete and each year it seems a step forward in one area, while two steps back in another.
