Madden 25: Top 10 Best Middle And Outside Linebackers Revealed

In the improved Ultimate Team mode of Madden 25, you can choose players for your team as a coach or owner, and unique positions will have different considerations - some need strong defensive ability, some strong offensive ability. For example, Halfbacks need some strong offensive players, because they need to assist the wingers in offensive and serve as emergency receivers when necessary. But judging whether a player can play well based on offensive attributes alone is too one-sided, you also need to look at his overall rating. This guide will introduce you to several players with an overall rating of more than 90 points and their offensive ability is also very good. Please prepare your Madden NFL 25 Coins to get them as soon as possible! Joe Mixon - 91 OVR Joe Mixon from Houston Texans is the first Halfback to be introduced in this guide, with an overall rating of 91 points in the game. Like other players in this position, the most important ball-carrying attribute is as high as 98 points, so he can protect the ball well when running with the ball. Although the 91 overall rating in this Madden NFL 25 is not the highest score for Joe Mixon in this series of games, it does not prevent him from using his very balanced attribute distribution to become one of the strongest halfbacks in the game. But unfortunately, Joe Mixon is not a Superstar player and does not have those very outstanding game skills. So if your team wants to challenge those tiresome games, you may need some Superstars or Superstar X-Factor players instead of Joe Mixon. Saquon Barkley - 92 OVR Saquon Barkley from the old team Philadelphia Eagles is also a familiar face in Madden NFL series of games, and he got a total rating of 92 points in this new game. Although his ball-carrying attribute is not as good as Joe Mixon, only 94 points, he is better because he is a Superstar X-Factor player. As a Superstar X-Factor player, Saquon Barkley has a lot of Superstar abilities and X-Factor abilities, especially First One Free. This ability will increase the chance of Saquon Barkley hurdles, spins, or Jukes when entering a certain area on the court, which will score some points and earn you more MUT 25 Coins. This will also give you and some virtual fans a visual impact, making you more immersed in the game. If you use the appropriate sliders, these effects will be more realistic. Derrick Henry - 94 OVR As a veteran of Baltimore Ravens, Derrick Henry has participated in more games than any other player in this guide, which indirectly affects his overall rating of 94 points. Unlike the previous two players, Derrick Henry’s highest-rated attribute is Stiff Arm, which is 99 points! Stiff Arm allows Derrick Henry to knock down the opponent’s defenders during the game and assist his team’s wingers in attacking. In addition, he is also a Superstar X-Factor player and has a Superstar X-Factor ability called Freight Train. It will help Derrick Henry better break through the opponent’s defensive players when entering the designated area. When this ability is combined with the very strong Stiff Arm, Derrick Henry will be fearless on the court. Nick Chubb - 96 OVR Nick Chubb of Cleveland Browns has been in the game since Madden 19. Although he only has an overall rating of 76 points, his performance in the past few years has finally earned him a 96 point rating in the current game, which is unexpected by many people. Among all the attributes, the most famous one for him is Break Tackle attribute, which has reached 99 points. So when Nick Chubb gets the ball and wants to make a tackle, such a high attribute will make his success rate very high. At the same time, Nick Chubb is also a Superstar X-Factor player, and his ability is Wrecking Ball. As the name suggests, it can bring very destructive offensive balls to the team and win more points. Christian McCaffrey - 99 OVR San Francisco 49ers, one of the highest overall rated teams in Madden 25, also has a Halfback with the highest overall rating in this guide, Christian McCaffrey, who reached 99 points. And his best attribute is BC Vision, which has a score of 97. This best attribute, combined with his 99 overall rating, allows him to face and deal with any possibility on the field calmly. Christian McCaffrey also has a unique Superstar X-Factor ability called Ankle Breaker. When he enters a certain area, he will be more likely to use hurdles, spins, and Jukes after catching the ball to deceive the opposing player. This may sound very similar to Saquon Barkley’s First One Free ability, but the two affect different targets. Ankle Breaker affects the opponent, while First One Free only affects the current player’s movement status. These are some Halfbacks with higher overall ratings that you can choose in Madden 25. If you have a favorite player but his rating is not good, you can invest in him and let him upgrade. Or if you don’t know which position has better players, you can ask questions in iGMeet Discord, and other players will definitely be very enthusiastic to help you. In addition, you have the opportunity to get Coins for investment. Good luck!

The defensive playbooks in the new sports video game Madden NFL 25 are based on real-life strategies from every professional team, and the best playbooks can stop even the most powerful offenses from the opposing team. In addition, the right coverages and blitz strategies in the defensive playbook can help your team successfully prevent the opponent from scoring points during the game. The playbooks in the game are made up of an organization’s game plan, so some playbooks have some limitations, and no playbook is suitable for everyone. This is when you can customize a playbook, which will be powerful when your team’s specific needs are met. This guide will introduce you to some of the best defensive playbooks currently in MUT 25 and teach you how to customize your own playbook. Defensive Playbooks To Choose When your defender faces some of the game’s best wide Receivers or Quarterbacks, you need to choose a playbook with good coverage options to protect your players from passing attacks. It’s okay to give up two or three yards per play, but not more than 10. So be careful when choosing a defensive playbook, and it’s harder to choose a defensive playbook than an offensive playbook, so you need to be careful. Here are some of the defensive playbooks you can choose, and their pros and cons. Kansas City Chiefs As the first optional defensive tactical manual, Kansas City Chiefs allows you to change multiple formations on the field, and the adjustment is also very flexible, which may make it impossible for the opponent’s players to predict the next move of your players. And this tactical manual is very good at the pass defense option, which can effectively block the opponent’s pass attack. If your wingers are not so strong, you can definitely choose this tactical manual, because it can make your running protection ability on the confrontation line very strong, so that your field is under your control. But the only drawback is that there are very few blitz options in Kansas City Chiefs, which cannot put a lot of pressure on the opponent’s offense, and may waste your game time. So you may need some time to practice using it proficiently. Cleveland Browns In Cleveland Browns, you can balance deep pass coverage and quarterback pressure very well, which will keep your team in a balanced state and make your players perform well on the field. I just said that Kansas City Chiefs do not have many blitz options. Cleveland Browns is the opposite, and its blitz options are very powerful. It can force quick tackles or sacks on the field, so that you can quickly end a game, which is also very useful for player upgrades. But when you use Cleveland Browns, you must be careful not to use too much aggressive play, which will quickly enter the bottleneck period of the team, which is not good for the development of the team. In addition, you should pay more attention to the quick passes in this tactical manual, which is also a point where points are easily lost. Arizona Cardinals Among these defensive playbooks, Arizona Cardinals can be said to be the most powerful because it is used by two famous teams in real life, Falcons and Eagles, because of its high reliability. Why do I say that? Because Arizona Cardinals has zone coverage of the entire field, which can provide you with very strong pass defense. For those who are new to Madden NFL 25, Arizona Cardinals will be the easiest defensive playbook to start with. But it is not without its shortcomings - it only has a single formation option. If you use it and your opponent uses Kansas City Chiefs, you will be fooled. In addition, Arizona Cardinals’ overall run defense ability is relatively weak, and it may not protect some balls that are already in possession. Carolina Panthers Just talked about a lot of tactical books that lack blitz plays. Carolina Panthers are completely different. It has very reliable and aggressive blitz plays. You can rely on this to win some simple games and get your MUT 25 Coins faster. In addition, in this defensive tactical book, you can also lock the enemy wide receiver one-on-one, so that your team will have better control of the ball. But it is worth noting that this is only suitable for some uncomplicated games. Once the situation is more complicated, there is a high possibility of failure. And when using blitz plays, being too aggressive can be a little dangerous. Carolina Panthers rely heavily on your awareness. If you misunderstand the opponent’s offensive intentions in the field, you are likely to lose a chance to show your strength. Multiple D If you don’t have the tactical manuals you want in the previous ones, you might as well take a look at Multiple D. It has the most balanced defensive tactics in the entire game and is suitable for teams of different strengths. But you can’t have too high expectations for it. Although it has very balanced tactics, it is also very difficult to make real-time adjustments for a certain game. In addition, Multiple D, a very common defensive tactic, is not professional enough, which makes it very easy for the opponent to predict your next defense, which is very disadvantageous to your team. Some of these defensive playbooks are very similar to the ones in College Football 25. If you’ve played these EA games before, you can definitely choose the ones you’re most familiar with, because this will save a lot of practice time. If you don’t have a playbook you’re familiar with, you can choose Tennessee Titans or Las Vegas Raiders because of their high level of specialization. Don’t assume that every defensive playbook in Madden 25 looks the same because they use the same type of coverage. There are some subtle differences, depending on whether you prefer zone coverage or one-on-one coverage, which are waiting for you to explore. How To Make A Custom Defensive Playbook? If you don’t see what you need or like in the above defensive playbooks, try customizing it! When you enter Creation Center from the main menu of Madden NFL 25, select Playbooks option, and finally select Create Defense, you can start to develop your own defensive playbook. You can modify one of the five defensive playbooks above to develop the most suitable playbook for your team. You can add or delete it. For example, if your team has a very good safety, you can add some plays that focus on zone defense. This will ensure that the safety uses her speed and awareness to block the receiver who wants to catch the ball in the backfield. Here I need to remind you that it is best to use some playbooks that you are not familiar with to make modifications, to reduce the chance of mistakes in the field. If your team continues to score and stop the opponent’s powerful offense after using a certain defensive playbook, it means that this playbook is very successful! The above are some tips on the defensive playbook in Madden NFL 25. I hope you can choose the best playbook before the official release on August 16 and win more games in subsequent games!

In every new version of Madden NFL video game series, there are some teams whose players have low overall ratings, have not won many awards in the actual game, and most importantly, have lost their way. These teams are called rebuild teams in the game. Among all the game modes, Franchise is the easiest to make these teams that are almost at the bottom of the league enter the coveted Super Bowl. The same is true for Madden 25, so when you lead them to glory again in the game, not only will they get the honor, but you will also have a robust sense of satisfaction. But there are so many rebuild teams in each game, and you can only choose one. Who should you choose? This guide will introduce you to the most worthy rebuild teams in Madden NFL 25, and you can choose the one that suits you best according to your own abilities. Chicago Bears If you have been following this year’s Hard Knocks on HBO, then Chicago Bears will definitely be your first choice for a rebuild team because it has the top rookie of 2024, Caleb Williams. Although the former USC quarterback currently has an overall rating of only 76 in Madden 25, he will be even stronger after you invest MUT 25 Coins in him. He is also one of the best talent combinations in the entire league in terms of skill positions. He and D’Andre Swift and Khalil Herbert form an excellent backfield running back committee that can keep the entire backfield under their control. In addition, Chicago Bears ushered in some very strong receivers this season, such as Keenan Allen, who was selected as a 6-time Pro Bowler, and Rome Odunze, who once played for Washington. It also signed a 4-year contract extension with its own D.J. Moore. With the addition of 25-year-old TE Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears’ receiving team is really strong! But as a rebuild team, Chicago Bears also have a very obvious disadvantage: Trenches. On the defensive side of the field, although it currently has a commander, Montez Sweat, and a 2024 rookie, Austin Booker. If you take over Chicago Bears, you need to make a choice between them: use a lot of MUT 25 Coins to enhance Booker, whose initial overall rating is only 69 points, or recruit another player to match up with Sweat? In addition to the defense you need to pay attention to, on the offensive line, you only have one player with an overall rating of more than 80-RG Teven Jenkins. So you need to sign as many forwards as possible after taking over to ensure the safety of Williams on the field. New York Giants Another team that is very popular in Hard Knocks this year is New York Giants, because they experienced a very big thing in the offseason: New York Giants’ star running back Saquon Barkley left as a free agent and joined Philadelphia. Although it is very sad for this team to lose a star player, it is not too heavy because there are all kinds of young baseball talents on this team. For example, WR Malik Nabers, TE Theo Johnson, CB Andru Phillips, and FS Tyler Nubin all have some excellent qualities waiting for you to develop. In addition, pass rushers Dexter Lawrence II, Brian Burns, and Kayvon Thibodeaux are all under 26 years old, so they have unlimited potential! It is worth mentioning that even the reserve players are rookies under 25 years old, so New York Giants have a bright future. But for New York Giants, the most lacking is the quarterback. Former quarterback Daniel Jones had to end his 2023 season because of an ACL injury at the age of 27, and there is no guarantee that he will play in subsequent seasons. This means that his overall rating in Madden NFL 25 may remain at 71 points for a long time, or even decrease. There are many young talents at quarterback throughout the league. What you need to do is to select and sign some elite players as much as possible so that the entire team can shine again in the Giants Super Bowl. Denver Broncos In Mile High City, Denver Broncos has one of the longest rebuilding periods in the league. It has not made the playoffs since winning the game in Super Bowl 50. Part of the reason is too frequent changes in quarterbacks. There are currently 6 players playing for Denver Broncos. So after you take over Denver Broncos, the first thing you need to do is to stabilize the quarterback selection, whether it is using more MUT 25 Coins or using strategies, as long as it is stabilized, you don’t need to go through too much team running-in time. Currently, Denver Broncos has a 24-year-old rookie center named Bo Nix. Although his initial overall rating is only 72, his outstanding performance in the preseason will definitely significantly improve his rating. Unlike other rebuild teams, Denver Broncos’ offensive line is currently no problem, because 3 players have an overall rating of more than 80. But you need to pay attention to the receivers of this team, because most of the receivers in the team are close to 30 years old, which means they have no potential and there will be many injuries to them. So in the early stages of reconstruction, you can first look for some receivers to reduce their burden. In addition, on defense, you also need to recruit as many high-rated players as possible, because in Denver Broncos, only cornerback Patrick Surtain II has an overall rating of more than 80. You can choose to build around it on defense, which will make your defense seamless throughout the game. These are the three rebuild teams you can focus on in Madden NFL 25. If you take over one of them, you will face some big challenges, but don’t lose heart, because there is a very bright light waiting for you ahead!

Many NFL avid fans have longed to join the league as a rookie, and in Madden 25, that dream can be fulfilled through its Superstar Mode. This mode offers a number of unique changes designed to enhance the player’s authentic experience. In Superstar Mode, players can take on the role of a recently drafted NFL rookie and start their career journey on the big stage with one of the 32 teams in the league. However, to contribute to the team’s success, players will need to prove themselves by winning every big moment and earning more playing time as they compete for a playoff spot with some of the best players in the world. Whether you’re just getting started or a seasoned football enthusiast, here are all the fresh changes to Madden 25 Superstar Mode. New Preset Archetypes Before hitting the field, players must first select their physical avatar and preset archetypes. At the outset, all ratings will be set to 60, with a maximum of 84, which is equivalent to a bronze level cap. However, players are entitled to use up to three creation points to increase the starting base value of a selected stat, which also increases the rating cap. In addition, players can further improve their character’s abilities and gaming experience by earning Madden 25 Coins. For example, if you dream of becoming a quarterback, you can choose to spend all three creation points on improving your throwing power, raising its starting value to 75. This will bring your maximum throwing power to 99, the highest level of the gold tier. Next, you need to decide whether to invest the remaining creation points in core skills or base physical skills, as achieving success in the game requires finding the right balance between the two. Whether you want to be an agile and elusive speedster or a powerful player with powerful impact on the field, finding the right balance is crucial. This means not only upgrading the physical attributes that suit your playing style, but also making sure to master the technical abilities that are crucial in the game. Import Players From College Football 25 Road To Glory For the first time in nearly a decade, players can import the stars they developed in College Football 25 Road to Glory into Madden 25 Superstar Mode to continue their legendary careers. Now you can fully experience the development of a football star, from the beginning of college to the star of NFL. In addition, players who choose to import players from College Football 25 to Madden 25 will receive additional creation points, with a starting point of up to 15 points. This mechanism provides a great platform for young players who have shown outstanding talent in high school to join any team after NFL Combine, and quickly play a major role in their new team. Changed NFL Combine While every Madden 25 player must complete the two basic physical tests of 40-yard dash and bench press, Combine also includes 26 newly designed mini-games designed for unique positions. Players must excel at Combine, where performances will affect their careers before they even step onto the field. Performing well at NFL Combine can improve a player’s initial rating, giving them a better start on their career path. Plan Your Goals With Superstar Quests Superstar Quests form narrative moments in the game, requiring players to make key decisions that will profoundly affect your career path. For example, you might need to promise your teammates that you’ll increase their chances of catching the ball as a quarterback, or pledge to your coach that you’ll be the best rusher in team history. Your answers to these questions trigger a series of specific challenges, ranging from single-game goals to long-term goals that span an entire season. The game includes more than 900 unique quests, which are carefully customized for different player types and skill levels and dynamically adjust based on your game performance, the state of your team, and the stage of your career development. In addition, performance-based quests are activated when you get stuck, ensuring that the game experience is aligned with your personal progress and needs. Earn Teammate Abilities In football, there are no lone stars, as every player needs the support of a team to win. Therefore, in Madden 25, players will gradually unlock teammate abilities to strengthen their team’s overall performance in the field. For example, as a quarterback, you can use teammate abilities to enhance the catching skills of all receivers. You can also choose to improve their Deep Route Running capabilities based on your preferred play style. Every player can create their own NFL legend in Madden 25 Superstar Mode. As players gradually adapt to the rhythm of professional games and improve their ratings and skills through continuous efforts and achievements, everyone can leave their own footprints on the virtual grass of Madden 25 and realize the dream of joining NFL.
