EA Sports has announced that San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey will be the cover athlete for the highly anticipated “Madden NFL 25”. The game’s website highlights a new physics-based system called “BOOM Tech”, which promises to give players more control in tackling and with the ball carrier.
The trailer released on Thursday showcases the new BOOM Tech technology, which uses data-driven physics to create more explosive and authentic physical outcomes. The game’s website describes how this new system takes into account various factors, such as the quality of the tackle attempt and the skill level of the ball carrier, to provide players with more control.
Fans are excited about the improved tackling and ball carrier mechanics that will be introduced in Madden NFL 25 thanks to this new physics system. Additionally, there is a new “Balance and Recovery System” for running backs that allows players to have more control over staying on their feet based on these factors. This will make it easier for players to recover from tackles and keep their footing during runs.
The trailer also features Justin Fields returning a kickoff for the Steelers, sparking speculation about his role in the upcoming season. Despite Fields stating earlier in the year that he wasn’t interested in returning kicks, this unexpected role is causing fans to wonder if Madden’s prediction could come true in real life.
Madden NFL 25 will be released on Aug. 16th, allowing fans to experience these new features and enhancements firsthand.
