Today, we have Clint Oldenburg here representing the American Football Gameplay Team to discuss all the new innovations and updates coming this season.

Here in our Orlando studio, we know what’s most important to players and that’s a deep, authentic experience delivering control on the sticks. Players will have more control than ever before in Madden NFL 25 with this year’s feature-set including Physics-Based Tackling powered by BOOM Tech, Signature Styles, new ball carrier, catching and pre-play mechanics, and a focus on football fundamentals within blocking, playbooks, and more. All gameplay features and updates covered here will be available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. 

First, let's take a look at our Gameplay Deep Dive video that has just been released.

BOOM Tech

Players have made it clear that they prefer agency and control in gameplay, rather than outcomes that feel scripted or pre-determined. When we introduced our FieldSENSE animation-branching system two seasons ago, meeting that demand was the exact goal. This year, that vision is being accelerated even more with the introduction of BOOM Tech: our next gameplay innovation, over 2 years in the making, which is an injection of real-world physics into that animation-branching technology; and aptly named after Coach Madden’s most famous catchphrase - BOOM!

Players will feel the new tackling system during any one-on-one tackle, where physics will determine a wide variety of dynamic outcomes based on the weight, speed, momentum, squareness of the hit, and player ratings, while keeping players in full control.

The features that make up the BOOM Tech package are:

• Physics-Based Tackles: Hit Sticks, Cut Sticks, Trucks, Stiff-Arms and Dive Tackles 

• All-new Physics-Driven Ball carrier balance and recovery system

• Reloaded Hit Stick mechanic to make landing that perfect-hit stick feel rewarding and more skill-based
