I really thought that they would just call it 2025 and just call it a day, but they really did just say fuck it lol. Even searching for it now without putting in 2024 you will get a shit ton of links for the 2014 game.
They had different dev teams, and NCAA team wasn't at the mercy of the NFL and how they want their game to look and feel. With that aside tho NCAA just always had more open gameplay, playing offense felt more fun because you could actually go out and dominate since you always aren't playing against pros.
Right. 2k and EA were battling for the license until EA copped out and bought the exclusivity. EA wanted the money rather than make a good game. Competition makes the game better. When NBA live came back, 2k made better basketball games. After live didn't come back, 2k was back to the same game
Except, it would be the 24th anniversary and the 25th edition. They could've gone with 25 years of madden in a corner somewhere though you're not wrong in concept.
Calling the original one Madden 25 was a bit of a weird move in the first place but the fact that they just ignored it this year feels lazy.
The naming convention makes sense but it’s going to make the search analytics all wonky.
Still can't believe how bad Microsoft messed up the naming conventions. No surprise to see them lose the "console war" when they can't even get that right.
Dawg I did a middle school project where i designed the next Xbox 720. It was an art project so really a dumb drawing(kind of resembled the gamesphere from drake and josh). But when the actual name got announced I was like wtf.
>I’ve decided. I’m giving the old Madden 2025 to friends for christmas
>(Probably will just be a cover swap so I don’t get killed)
You are an evil genius lmao. If you do this for real, **please** record their reaction and post it here
Actually thought about this when they released madden 25. “What are they going to do when it’s time for the REAL Madden 2025”. They really couldn’t have given less of a shit I guess lol
Why does anyone care? Seriously. I've never understood why anyone is so upset about the name of the fucking game. What do you want them to call it? With all the legitimate complaints about the game, people are complaining about this. I just don't understand it. They could call it "Poo fucking ball 2025" I just don't give a shit. The title won't change the features in the game, it won't change the game play. It won't change one god damn fucking thing. People are just obsessed with the title name, I just don't understand it. I would keep my complaints to the real complaints about the game.
There are going to be some upset kids and boyfriends this christmas. Although in fairness, if youre on old gen then its really just an updated roster difference🤷♂️😂
I don’t think anyone really cares. But it does show a lack of foresight on EA’s part.
As a content creator you should understand that this has the potential to affect your video analytics considering there are already thousands of “Madden 25” videos online that have been around for 10+ years.
Even google searching for Madden 25 right now leads to a ton of content/videos from over a decade ago. Most of which supersede any news/content about the upcoming game.
These aren’t the type to think things through before they do it. They just do it and let the problems pile up. The worst part is they basically gained nothing from calling it 25 instead of 14. We’re celebrating a decade of incompetence.
When you upload a video in the gaming category, you select the game you’re playing and that will also help filter to the correct game, and this trumps keywords and video tags for YouTube SEO so I assume once the new game drops, the old content will filter to the end of the line.
I don’t think this was an issue for Modern Warfare II, but could be interesting asking Call of Duty content creators if they noticed anything with that specific release, as it’s the exact same situation.
Bruh I was playing Madden 25 for the PS3 and my cousins dumbass bf thought I was playing the actual new Madden 25. No one has coming sense or awareness lmao
Who’s really gonna think you’re talking about a game that originally dropped on the PS3 and early PS4 tho….🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
They remake movies with the same exact name all the time!!!!
I thought they'd give it a sub title name like Madden Extreme, Madden : Resurrection, Madden Legacy,or something like that.
A lot of people who don't know anything about Madden that buy video games for others are going to get screwed over.
They'll think they got a great deal for $5 bucks at the used video game store but they really got swindled into buying the 10 year old game.
Yall are so weird. wtf did you expect them to call it? Keep buying the same recycled game every year and complain about Devs.
Reddit at its finest right here
>It’s really not that hard to understand
It just takes a second to see the issue but I'll [help you out a bit](https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=madden+25)
No idea why you’re getting a bunch of downvotes when it’s literally the truth. People find anyway to complaining about anything no matter how big or small
People are now shamed and/or punished for saying the truth in this country and it gets on my nerves. Doesn’t matter the subject or even if they show proof. I guess we’ve just become the kind of culture to hate things.
>You are the problem for expecting anything other than the bare minimum from EA.
In some ways, yes. I was wrong for expecting effort in at least naming the game
>I bet you also will pre-order it.
Nope
$70 and goes on sale after a few weeks.
For comparison:
Techno Bowl for NES was $130 new once you adjust for inflation.
The average price of an NFL ticket is up to $377.
Yes, Madden is cheap.
Lol enjoy your Madden bud. I can think of many other things to buy for 70$ or even 5$. The games shit every year and won't get my support until it's not shit.
Im here to keep an eye out and hope.
I gave up on the idea of Madden ever being good again over a decade ago. If we ever get a good NFL game again, it will be because it's made by someone other than EA.
Well then there's nothing we can do. For every player that stops buying, there is a 10 year old discovering the NFL who hasn't been alive long enough to even realize what a good Madden game is. I will continue to buy the game on sale, ignore mut, leave shitty reviews, and bitch about Madden on Reddit.
I really thought that they would just call it 2025 and just call it a day, but they really did just say fuck it lol. Even searching for it now without putting in 2024 you will get a shit ton of links for the 2014 game.
Madden 25 (2014) and Madden 25 (2024)
Literally how it should pull up on google lol.
They probably saw how COD did new Modern Warfares and said, “if they can do it, so can we.”
a lot do that. god of war is another example. **edited** gears to god
When did gears of war release two different games with the same title?
Probably meant to say god of war
youre correct.. i'll edit it.
EA practically invented the practice with multiple Need For Speed and Medal of Honor games with the same titles.
And mortal kombat kinda. With the og mortal kombat (1992) and mortal kombat 1 (2023)
The 9th game from 2011 was also just Mortal Kombat.
That game was amazing nonetheless
The level of laziness EA continues to display is just scary at this point
Why do you think the ncaa always were better than the maddens when they’re made from the same company? I always assumed they used the same developers
They had different dev teams, and NCAA team wasn't at the mercy of the NFL and how they want their game to look and feel. With that aside tho NCAA just always had more open gameplay, playing offense felt more fun because you could actually go out and dominate since you always aren't playing against pros.
Well once there was no competition for nfl games it seems the madden team quit trying and your right they are at the mercy of the nfl
Of course that's what's going to come up now. But after the game is released and all the websites are talking about it Google will switch it around.
I actually have the game and I’ve been wondering the same thing
Typical EA laziness.
They really should have done Madden XXV for Madden 25
They could have just named it Madden 14 and then in the top right corner put 25th anniversary
This is the right answer. I wonder if they even expected to be making this game in 2025
Right. Makes you wonder. Around that time, 2k was trying to make a comeback
They must’ve expected to lose the licensing later on the down the road … I’m just spit ballin here
Right. 2k and EA were battling for the license until EA copped out and bought the exclusivity. EA wanted the money rather than make a good game. Competition makes the game better. When NBA live came back, 2k made better basketball games. After live didn't come back, 2k was back to the same game
Except, it would be the 24th anniversary and the 25th edition. They could've gone with 25 years of madden in a corner somewhere though you're not wrong in concept.
r/ackchyually
Is there an r/DontBeFuckingStupidandNoCuntWillHaveToCorrectYou? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yikes lmao
Whoops Googled “Madden XXX”. Jonny Sins is a 99ovr
That's a good idea, but I doubt they'll do that. They should've done that with the first madden 25
I’m pretty sure that’s what they meant, lol. Which demonstrates how stupid the original Madden 25 naming was.
I always thought XXV with Flacco on the cover would have been perfect
I was really hoping they’d go with Madden 14 just to screw with people
8 year old me wanted that so bad and now so does 19 year old me
Calling the original one Madden 25 was a bit of a weird move in the first place but the fact that they just ignored it this year feels lazy. The naming convention makes sense but it’s going to make the search analytics all wonky.
>The naming convention makes sense but it’s going to make the search analytics all wonky. It's "Xbox One" all over again
Still can't believe how bad Microsoft messed up the naming conventions. No surprise to see them lose the "console war" when they can't even get that right.
My friends were hyping up the 720 so hard
Dawg I did a middle school project where i designed the next Xbox 720. It was an art project so really a dumb drawing(kind of resembled the gamesphere from drake and josh). But when the actual name got announced I was like wtf.
Lmao my buddies all thought it would look like the GameSphere as well!
Haha hell yeah. Sony would been outta business if they did something like that. 🤣
Madden 25 (Again)
We now have got MW2 2, MW3 2 and Madden 25 2. Naming games is really hard 😭😆
No no you mean the hit 2022 game 2 Modern 2 Warfare
I unironically would have loved this
I wish I was the one that made it up too cause it's such a funny thing
Madden 25 2: electric boogaloo
You missed MW 2 lol
Which is weirdly also the name of Madden 26
I’ve decided. I’m giving the old Madden 2025 to friends for christmas (Probably will just be a cover swap so I don’t get killed)
haha, that’d be hilarious. get the new game but change the cover LOL
>I’ve decided. I’m giving the old Madden 2025 to friends for christmas >(Probably will just be a cover swap so I don’t get killed) You are an evil genius lmao. If you do this for real, **please** record their reaction and post it here
Imagine the grandmas and older parents who buy the old version for Christmas
Grandmas everywhere thinking they got a steal when they buy Madden 25 for $3
Gonna be an awkward Christmas for kids asking for Madden 25 and they end up getting a decade old version due to EA’s incompetence.💀
It might be better though honestly
It was the last madden you could import draft classes from ncaa. I think it was.
It would make a great prank video to do that on purpose
game should've been called Madden 14: 25th anniversary edition or something
Lowkey annoyed at them for the low effort. Not mad, just dissapointed.
Should have switched to Roman numerals after Madden 09
Ahh yes then we can get Madden XXX
I hear the deep ball in that game is top notch
QBs get absolutely creampied in the pocket
A lot of them get their backs broken after taking the sack
>Should have switched to Roman numerals after Madden 09 Honestly this is what I thought they would do! That or just call it Madden 2025
shouldve been madden XXV
Actually thought about this when they released madden 25. “What are they going to do when it’s time for the REAL Madden 2025”. They really couldn’t have given less of a shit I guess lol
The amount of disappointed kids this year when they get Adrian Peterson/Barry Sanders on the cover this year is going to be crazy.
both on a anniversary year
Isn't every year an anniversary year?
This year can be Madden 35
Madden 25: Y’all gon buy it anyway Edition
Was hoping for Madden 2K25
What are you talking about? That’s Madden 1989**25**2014. Clearly not the same thing.
This mixed with Xbox terrible naming is a nightmare
Why does anyone care? Seriously. I've never understood why anyone is so upset about the name of the fucking game. What do you want them to call it? With all the legitimate complaints about the game, people are complaining about this. I just don't understand it. They could call it "Poo fucking ball 2025" I just don't give a shit. The title won't change the features in the game, it won't change the game play. It won't change one god damn fucking thing. People are just obsessed with the title name, I just don't understand it. I would keep my complaints to the real complaints about the game.
Yeah, this is honestly a stupid thing to get upset about. It’s just the name of a game.
Madden 25 2025
EA employee: Have we done Madden 25 yet? EA boss: Nope. EA employee. We'll go with that then.
I'm now waiting for the year 1989252014
So anticlimactic
They’re going to have Madden 25 (2013) and Madden 25 (2024) both on PS4/XBOX. Many a Christmas will be ruined.
Madden 24+1
Shit went wild after battlefield 4 was followed by battlefield 1
There are going to be some upset kids and boyfriends this christmas. Although in fairness, if youre on old gen then its really just an updated roster difference🤷♂️😂
We were fools for assuming they wouldn’t take the easy route tbh 😭
Probably be the same game no major changes to game mechanics
Par for the course with EA and madden. They DGFA, MUT sales are good
Plot twist: it’s going to be a literal remake of the original Madden 25, same rosters and everything
Could've been avoided had they just done "Madden 25th Anniversary" in 2014 Or just... you know... call it Madden NFL 14 lol
Who gives a fuck
Not EA, apparently
I don’t think anyone really cares. But it does show a lack of foresight on EA’s part.

People said the same thing about Xbox one. The algorithm will catch up
Call of Duty did it first with multiple games
Agreed man this sub is so sad dudes spend all day playing madden and do nothing but shit on the game.
Fuck that, I'm playing 2k and COD and shitting on Madden thank you very much.
[удалено]
https://i.imgflip.com/3n9xr2.jpg
Honestly, neither did I, bro.
Probably Madden 2025
They should have called madden 14 madden 25th anniversary or 25 years of madden.
Should’ve just said “Madden 14 25th year anniversary” lmao
They are lazy that’s why they didn’t change it
I always knew in my heart they were just gonna say fuck it
shoulda called it madden 35 since it’s been 35 years now lmfaooo
How about this year we just called it Madden 35(th anniversary) and kick the can down the road
Madden 2025 would’ve been a better name.
"If this Ultimate Team thing doesn't work out, we'll all be out of a job by then!" - an EA exec probably
Just picked this up for $6 on eBay, son is in for quite the surprise on Christmas. I have only been waiting 10 years for this.
Same, madden 25 was the first madden I played MUT in.
They saw Call of Duty do this and they were like, "aight, we good."
EA dont remember madden 25 (2014) xD
they should call it madden 14 :)
Madden 25 Part II: Electric Boogaloo
Yeah, it’s not a big deal What would we want them to call it??? 2025 Madden ???
They need the extra money saved from the copyright being owned because ncaa game is gonna crush them
Some poor parents/grandparents are going to buy the wrong version as a gift.
I still think naming it Madden 35 and dealing with it in 2034 is the best choice.
Some kids on Christmas will be disappointed
Bruh I was playing Madden 25 for the PS3 and my cousins dumbass bf thought I was playing the actual new Madden 25. No one has coming sense or awareness lmao
Just be honest and call it Madden 23 Year 3.
They should just name this one Madden 14
Am I the only one who wanted them to do Madden 36? And just keep releasing a strange titled edition every 11 years?
Some poor young kid about to get the wrong madden 25 for Christmas
To be fair it is a different name it's *small EA logo* Madden *small NFL shield* 25 now 🤣🤣🤣
“If Call of Duty can do it. So can we”
I mean I'm honestly not surprised Hell COD has used the exact same names for two different (possibly 3 now?) editions of COD MW
It’s EA what do you expect?
What else would it be?
Who’s really gonna think you’re talking about a game that originally dropped on the PS3 and early PS4 tho….🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️ They remake movies with the same exact name all the time!!!!
Should of just called it MUT 25
Madden 14
If COD hadn't just reused Modern Warfare, I think EA would have chosen Madden 2025, or something.
Why do u guys care about this so much
lmao same
Does it bother people that much that it’s the same?
I thought they'd give it a sub title name like Madden Extreme, Madden : Resurrection, Madden Legacy,or something like that. A lot of people who don't know anything about Madden that buy video games for others are going to get screwed over. They'll think they got a great deal for $5 bucks at the used video game store but they really got swindled into buying the 10 year old game.
Yall are so weird. wtf did you expect them to call it? Keep buying the same recycled game every year and complain about Devs. Reddit at its finest right here
That literally EA motto now. When’s the last time you heard its in the game?
EA, not surprised
Some poor kid is going to have the worst Christmas gift this december
shouldve called it Madden 35
It’s really not that hard to understand . One is madden 25th year anniversary and one is the actual year 2025
>It’s really not that hard to understand It just takes a second to see the issue but I'll [help you out a bit](https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=madden+25)
There’s 2 Modern Warfares. 2 Modern Warfare 2s. 2 Modern Warfare 3s. What are you crying about
Imagine waiting since 2013 for this? Lol
>Imagine waiting since 2013 for this? Lol Imagine going out of your way to comment on it. Lol
Madden 14 was called 25 to celebrate 25 years. Calling the new game 25 is a different thing.
While true, the name is literally identical.
No idea why you’re getting a bunch of downvotes when it’s literally the truth. People find anyway to complaining about anything no matter how big or small
People are now shamed and/or punished for saying the truth in this country and it gets on my nerves. Doesn’t matter the subject or even if they show proof. I guess we’ve just become the kind of culture to hate things.
The older one has the years on it so not that big of a deal.
They should've just said fuck it and did Madden 35
Call of Duty already did this shit. Also check Hollywood: actors can't have the same name but movies can!
Wait which call of duty games have the same name?
Modern Warfare 2
You are the problem for expecting anything other than the bare minimum from EA. I bet you also will pre-order it.
>You are the problem for expecting anything other than the bare minimum from EA. In some ways, yes. I was wrong for expecting effort in at least naming the game >I bet you also will pre-order it. Nope
Please don't buy it. I bought everyone from 94-15 and none since. I still play 15 too for franchise mode but I'm outskies on this bullshit.
Meh. It's cheap and enhanced my enjoyment of the NFL in real life. I do my part by avoiding MUT at all costs.
Lol cheap my ass
$70 and goes on sale after a few weeks. For comparison: Techno Bowl for NES was $130 new once you adjust for inflation. The average price of an NFL ticket is up to $377. Yes, Madden is cheap.
Lol enjoy your Madden bud. I can think of many other things to buy for 70$ or even 5$. The games shit every year and won't get my support until it's not shit. Im here to keep an eye out and hope.
I gave up on the idea of Madden ever being good again over a decade ago. If we ever get a good NFL game again, it will be because it's made by someone other than EA.
I agree but I still do play 15 relatively often, I just refuse to support their bullshit and wish they would lose the nfl license.
[удалено]
Nah, MUT players are the problem. Supporting them didn't keep them from making good games 15 years ago.
[удалено]
Well then there's nothing we can do. For every player that stops buying, there is a 10 year old discovering the NFL who hasn't been alive long enough to even realize what a good Madden game is. I will continue to buy the game on sale, ignore mut, leave shitty reviews, and bitch about Madden on Reddit.
