question. i’ve heard so many negative comments on both of these games so it’s hard to tell which one is worse
?
M25 worse, M24 was dope, end game came in July rather than March, and players still had a variety of ability compositions rather than 50 copypastas
25. All that hoopla about tackling being a physics-based system that considers timing, momentum, weight, speed, and player ratings but actually leads to some of the most comically unrealistic nonsense I've seen in Madden (which is saying something).
I started playing MUT in Madden 23, but only got it in Madden 24. As mentioned, the super-early end-game (commencing with All-Star Athletes) didn’t help the case for MUT 25. Maximum speeds paired with abilities and stupid-fast heavyweights revealed that EA can’t tune gameplay balance under the present Madden framework: Any supposed nerfing of RPO’s or stretch runs only worked at lower game speeds, and when pitted against a determined cheeser, over football strategy and tactics, Roshambo is greater contributor to victory.
Disappointing.
25 is way worse. In 24 zones played a lot better.
The year you ask this question, is the answer you get. 25 is the most current game, so 25 will lead the polls for voting.
Next year the popular answer will be 26 (being worse than 25 which "wasn't that bad", "was underrated", etc)
It was end game before ASA, it was the Combine that made cards already endgame back in early March.

For sure in general, however, many people such as myself are also not knee jerking our decision. Objectively 25 was horrible gameplay; there is no skill moves beyond a glitch spin. They made pack odds worse than every before. They made obtaining good cards a money grab. Lacked consistency of programs. Never updated offline rewards. It's a pretty easy decision to say that M25 was awful; not withstanding the content.
