NFL fans have two reasons to rejoice this weekend, with the start of a new campaign coinciding with a free-to-play period for Madden 25 on PlayStation and Xbox.

The new NFL season began on Sept. 5, with defending Super Bowl champions beating Baltimore Ravens 27-20, whetting the appetite ahead of a packed weekend of action—and Madden 25’s limited-time free-to-play offer adds to the football frenzy.

Although there are many ways to end up on NFL highlight reels across the world, there is nothing as exhilarating as a one-handed catch. In Madden 25, players can pull off catches like this with the new Spectacular Catch system, but it will take some patience and physical prowess to complete.

The Spectacular Catch system is one of the best additions to the latest in the popular franchise, allowing prospective stars to etch their name in the history books by pulling off some incredible plays in the backfield. With this new mechanic, you can grab a ton of yards against tough coverage, even against some of the toughest cornerbacks in the league.

The picks are set, the players are ready, and the world is watching as all 32 NFL teams prepare for the draft in Madden 25. As one of the hopeful prospects in Superstar Mode, you’ll need to answer a handful of questions in the Combine interview to boost your stock.

In the Combine interview, players are asked 10 different questions to see how well versed they are in their NFL knowledge, from basic football rules and regulations to various questions about team and player stats. Some questions are relatively easy, while others are a bit obscure and will need some extra time to figure out.

For many different football enthusiasts, immersion is an important part of Madden 25. The camera angle on the field must be perfect for players, whether you’re running a route as a wide receiver, looking down field as a quarterback, or hunting down an interception as a cornerback.

There are multiple different camera angles you can try in multiple game modes, whether you’re playing from right behind the player you’re controlling, looking down at the field from a birds-eye view, or watching the action from a broadcast-style angle that makes it look like an official game on TV.

In Madden 25, one of the most fun options is building a superstar squad through a Fantasy Draft, whether you have the coveted first pick or somewhere in between. There is, however, an ideal draft order you should follow so everyone gets a chance to create a strong squad.

In any Madden draft, there are multiple types of drafts you can use that will determine how each team will pick a player every round. If you believe in true parity when it comes to drafting, though, there’s one type of draft order you must pick for your league.
