COUNTDOWN UNTIL MADDEN 25: LESS THAN 1 HOUR ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Thanks, that makes total sense.  I believe you are correct, when I went to reinstall M24 on the used Digital Edition PS5 console i picked up partway through the cycle last year, i think i recall seeing three totally separate versions of the game available; Beta, Regular & Deluxe editions

Obviously could not actually recall which was correct.  Ahh well, thankfully we're blessed with decently fast fiber to the home service.  EA never stated what the included Deluxe edition CMC reward will be, as far as stats (or OVR), correct?  I know they dropped the 84 OVR Core Elite, but i doubt it'll be anywhere nearly that good -- i'll be extremely surprised if the included "freebie" (we all pay in one way or another, right?) will be at least an 82-83 OVR.  Could be the core of my budding MUT squad, heh.

I'm also wondering about the 3 elite player items earned by doing the Ultimate Alumni solo challenges in CUT and how those will be used to claim the champion.  I guess we'll find out soon enough...

correct we have no clue, I’m assuming it’s gonna be around 81 since last year josh Allen was 83 and highest was 86

Oh wow, yeah i nearly forgot about these already -- glad i actually finished those.  Will probably continue to casually tinker with CFB over the weekend, but my goal is to rest and relax and be mentally prepared for a long shift on Mon/Tues/Wed.  I'm not getting any younger, that's for sure.  >.<

Thank you, that logic makes a ton of sense.  I'd be pumped if it were 82-83, but yeah... kind of delusional to wish for that.

I don't really have anything to base this on, but i'm seriously wondering if it'll be a Derrick Henry style year, where we want large, physical backs to break tackles.  Looking forward to finding out how the game plays on Day 1.

think players like bijan and dobbins cards are gonna be OP, they are evasive and can truck/break tackles

I'm looking forward to the release. I actually enjoy the game and don't take it seriously. It's a break from reality and I like building my all-time fantasy team. Hoping for another fun year, even though I know it'll be far from perfect.

Man I was having some enjoyable games late in the year but it seems like some how the new seasons pass at the end has brought back the kids who just run singleback wing slot over and over even if you stop them and they are losing.

The feeling of football season is on the rise and its almost time for the final countdown!

feels like new years is about to happen

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

we made it :)

We've had our first Madden 25 household fight this morning.  My son - who's a Franchise player - wanted to get on immediately, and I reminded him that 1) Franchise is Franchise all year long; MUT day 1 never occurs again, and 2) I paid for the thing, and who pays is who plays on Day 1.  So he'll be studying (poorly) for the SAT. :)

Stoked for today 1st time in 5+ years i get to Just relax and play the game without doing any news.Being retired is 100% a wonderful blast baby.
