00:00Hey everyone, Greg Olson here and welcome to the Madden NFL 25 Gameplay Deep Dive.

00:06Today we're talking about BoomTech, which integrates real-world physics into the FieldSense system,

00:12revolutionizing one-on-one tackling to give players ultimate control on the field.

00:17Physics-based gameplay in Madden 25 delivers an all-new tackling system,

00:22improved ball-carrier balance logic and a reloaded timing-based hitstick,

00:27delivering increased gameplay variety and authentic physical outcomes.

00:31A physics-driven tackle in Madden 25 consists of three unique stages,

00:36pre-impact, impact and post-impact.

00:42As a result of the physics behind each one-on-one tackle,

00:45the same tackle start animation can produce countless results

00:49based on factors like the combined momentum of the players,

00:52the angle of impact, weight, speed, strength and player ratings.

00:56As the defender initiates a hit,

00:59you'll see the ball-carrier anticipate the incoming defender and brace for contact.

01:04Here, the player still has complete control to change direction

01:08or perform a skill move like a juke, truck or stiff-arm,

01:12which affects the point of impact and resulting action.

01:16Upon impact, the system considers various factors like timing, momentum, weight, speed, strength

01:23and player ratings to determine the power and direction of the tackle.

01:28A smaller defender, like a DB in the secondary or a player with less momentum,

01:33may struggle to stop a strong runner who can deflect contact and gain extra yards.

01:39On the other hand, a bigger defender will stop a smaller ball-carrier in their tracks

01:44with little to no forward momentum after the point of impact.

01:48Physics in Madden 25 informs one-on-one tackling for more variety, dynamism and control,

01:54giving players the outcome they expect on every play.

01:58To celebrate its 20th anniversary, we've reloaded the hitstick with a new skill-based mechanic

02:03where a player's timing and angle of approach matter.

02:07If a tackle is timed too early or too late, its power will be reduced or less effective.

02:13But when a hitstick is timed perfectly, plays can be stopped just as fast as they started.

02:19New on-screen feedback provides info on hit timing,

02:23while UI and sound effects make a perfect hitstick feel that much more satisfying.

02:29There's more to physics-based gameplay than just tackling.

02:33With the new ball-carrier balance system, players will feel physics-driven broken tackles,

02:38stumbles and balance-recovery reactions that are also determined by momentum and impact direction.

02:45Hit quality, ratings and the abilities of the players involved,

02:49as well as the ball-carrier's body position, will result in more variation and realism in the run-game.

02:55All ball-carrier and tackling abilities have been modified to work together with the new physics system,

03:01and in some cases, new abilities have been created.

03:04For more on abilities, check out the Gridiron Notes blog.

03:09In the NFL, blocking at the line is a strategic chess match,

03:12and updates to pass-blocking provide more control to adjust schemes.

03:17In Madden 25, players can choose between eight pass-blocking adjustments before the snap.

03:23For the first time ever, visual cues will highlight each offensive lineman's specific target play art,

03:29as well as how this will change based on the blocking scheme.

03:33Defenders not accounted for will be marked with the hot defender icon,

03:38so players can decide who to block and who to strategically throw hot off of.

03:44New pocket-building logic, along with hundreds of new blocking animations,

03:48naturally boosts engage pressure to form the pocket more authentically,

03:52so quarterbacks can step up to make clutch throws when the protection is right.

03:57Madden 25 introduces brand new catching mechanics and animations

04:01that deliver more control at the catch point, more catching variety,

04:05and the ability to combine catch types together.

04:09Pull off amazing one-hand grabs with the all-new Spectacular Catch button,

04:13which provides a larger catch radius, but also increases the chance of a drop or pass breakup.

04:21With this mechanic, players can now modify aggressive, run-after catch, and secure catch inputs,

04:27providing the ability to change the catch type mid-animation, which wasn't possible before.

04:33These catching improvements give players the ability to pull off highlight-worthy grabs

04:37with more control on every button press.

04:42To give players more tools as a ball carrier,

04:44we've revamped the right stick to further enhance skill move control.

04:48A new Hesi step combined with the new fake-out logic

04:51gives players the ability to trigger CPU defender breakdowns.

04:56From there, combo new backjukes, spins, cuts, and other skill moves

05:00for unique fake-outs that weren't possible before.

05:04For added realism both during gameplay and between snaps,

05:08we've introduced a variety of signature animations.

05:12Unique run styles for superstar players,

05:15along with signature pre-snap behaviors from quarterbacks and receivers,

05:19blur the line between Madden 25 and the real game.

05:24Visible pre-play communication between players

05:26will also make the line of scrimmage feel more dynamic and alive,

05:29while intelligent adjustments and hand signals change based on the types of plays being called.

05:36For increased play-calling depth,

05:38some of the most exciting new plays from the league have been added to each of the 32 teams' playbooks.

05:43A few highlights from last season in Madden 25 include Miami's cheat motion

05:49and Kansas City's Super Bowl-winning corn dog.

05:53In addition to unique plays like these,

05:55more route concepts and custom route stems change the length of the initial route

05:59for complete hot route control.

06:02With the addition of the defensive switch stick,

06:04we've introduced a new defensive meta

06:06where players can quickly switch their user coverage with a flick of the right stick,

06:10adding control while lurking in the secondary on passing plays.

06:15And Madden 25 will, of course, include the new NFL hybrid kickoff rules,

06:20where players can experiment with the new rules and strategies

06:23before we see it in the regular season.
