After 100 hours, all I can say is, thank god for CFB 25. Honestly the only thing that makes it better is explained below. None of that stuff is in CFB. Yes it has a HFA, but it is powered correctly and doesnt really affect gameplay.
Madden has just become a arcade football game designed around card players and online who want WOW plays EVERY play. If it rarely happens in the NFL, it is a regular in Madden.
While I love the ideas of HFA, SS/XF, scenarios, game plan, media, and all the attempt immersions, EA has over done them all. They are more powerful then ratings, sliders and "SIM" game play.
Boom tech and tackle physics, while another great idea, they are yep, over done as well. Its like ping pong the player. While it can be dumbed down, it still is just over powered.
You can dumb down the offense all you want and smarten up the defense and none of it matters. Sliders and ratings are irrelevant. Now this could (and more then likely is) because of cpu vs cpu. If you play you have enough input possibly to make most of this not matter. I just dont have this porblem in CFB cpu vs cpu. These 2 games are night and day from each other and it is because of the added, over powered extras!
To sum it up, DTR plays no different then Mahomes.

Yeah I can't give impressions for CPU vs CPU....as far as HUman vs CPU this is one oif the best Madden games I have ever played as a total package.
Are there some cons....absolutely.
CPU Playcalling needs work in regards to down and distance and situational awareness. Is it as bad as some say....in my opinion no. Does it need further tuning? Absolutely.
I have been able to get amazing tackling and the best animations I have ever seen on a Madden game with tweaked sliders in conjunction with the physics slider.
I am very happy with the new franchise UI.......huge improvement from years past. It is very slick, intuitive and easy to navigate. Also it is immersive. News Stories are great, relevant and filled with stories related to your scenarios and around the league. Huge improvement. Draft presentation took a big positive step. Just better all the way around.
Sound and presentation has gotten a nice upgrade as well.
It's a solid 8.5/10 for me. I will enjoy this years game till next years offering. I also hope they let go of the PS4 generation for Madden 26. It can definitely be a step in a positive direction much like CFB 25 is and soon NHL 25.
CFB 25 is definitely a better game....that game for me is honestly a 9.75/10 It's that amazing for me. It's a forever game.
