Hey Madden fans, welcome back to Gridiron Notes! 

Today, we’re excited to take you on a Deep Dive of all of the new features and updates coming to Franchise Mode for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5, and PC. Our developers can’t wait to tell you about some of the new features including Franchise Central, the NFL Draft Night experience, Team Builder and more! First, we’ll take a look at our Franchise Deep Dive video that has just been released. After that, Franchise Mode’s lead designer Josh Looman will walk us through the Franchise Gridiron Notes, and after that we will hear from our Presentation team with key improvements and changes coming to Madden NFL 25.

Manage Personalities Through Dynamic Storylines

In Madden NFL 25 you’ll craft your franchise story through more than 70 brand new dynamic storylines, making you really FEEL as if you’re running an NFL team. Players will remember what you say and the promises you make, and these storylines won’t just take place over a single game – they can span entire seasons.

Breakout Storylines

In Madden NFL 25, we've completely revamped our breakout storylines and rebuilt each one from the ground up. In doing so, we wanted to ensure that there was more variety, freedom, and more risk and reward when playing through these storylines. Now when you encounter a breakout storyline in franchise, there will be a number of different paths and outcomes to experience that can be positive or negative, last one week or several, and some that can even earn a player significantly more than just a development upgrade. One of the paths you can go down includes talking with your offensive or defensive coordinator before the game on how to utilize the breakout player with the ability to choose his goal for the week. Following the game, there will also be a slim chance for a double or nothing opportunity where the storyline will extend a week further. That gives the player the opportunity to either double down and earn yet another development upgrade or redeem themselves with a second chance to earn the upgrade.

Experience The New NFL Draft Night

Your authentic Draft Night experience starts when Roger Goodell takes the stage. The draft environment is dynamic, with the Draft Board updating in real-time. After selections are made, you’ll witness the iconic moment of your draft pick walking across the stage, holding up their new jersey or receiving the life-changing call from home. And yes, they’re dressed in sharp suits, not uniforms, adding to the realism. There’s a brand-new prospect board that makes drafting players easier and more intuitive than ever before, while draft grades give you immediate feedback on your picks.

Prospect Hub

To reduce friction in the scouting and drafting process, we've completely redesigned the prospect hub in Madden NFL 25. Previously, in order to see a prospect's athletic grades or physical measurables, you would have to go all the way into the player card. This year, we've brought all prospect information forward into a more familiar spreadsheet format and you'll now be able to view and sort all prospects by their region, attributes, physical grades, as well as both Combine and Pro Day data. Whether you're searching for a Wide Receiver that ran the fastest 40-Yard Dash or a cornerback that has the best Man Coverage grade, you can do that quickly and efficiently, making the scouting and drafting process a more seamless experience.

Customize and Build a Powerhouse with Team Builder

Customization is key, and we know our fans crave it. In Madden NFL 24, we brought forward brand new commissioner tools and expanded relocation options. But we realized something was missing. You couldn’t fully customize the most important thing in your franchise: your team. That changes now.

We hope you're as excited as we are to lace up and hit the field. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the gameplay features in Madden NFL 25. Please let us know what you think in the thread below!
