From the Press Release
Today Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) officially launched Madden NFL 25 for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system. Madden NFL 25 allows fans to Run Free and unlock the power, precision and creativity of an NFL ball-carrier with the brand-new precision modifier. Utilize an arsenal of over 30 new moves to destroy the competition and leave the defense grasping at thin air as you juke, spin and stiff-arm your way into the end zone.
This year also offers fans the opportunity to take full control of their favorite NFL team with the new Owner mode within Connected Franchise. Set prices on everything from concessions to merchandise; draft, sign and trade players; upgrade and renovate your home stadium or even pack up the team and move to a brand-new city. Owners retain full control both on and off the field, and do everything from calling and running plays on game day to managing all aspects of a team’s day-to-day operations.
On top of all this, Infinity Engine 2 brings even more polished physics to the series, and the new Force Impact system enhances and improves stiff-arms, truck moves, the Hit Stick and more. All of these additions, enhancements and improvements result in the greatest Madden NFL experience ever, a game 25 years in the making.
“We’re giving the fans the most technologically advanced, fully-featured football experience of a generation,” said Cam Weber, General Manager of American Football for EA SPORTS. “The precision modifier, combined with Infinity Engine 2, creates the most realistic gameplay experience to date, and Owner mode gives fans the level of control over their favorite team they crave. Madden NFL 25 is the culmination of years of hard work, and we hope fans love playing the game as much as we’ve loved creating it.”
