The official EAMaddenNFL on X shared the news that Superstar Mode will be back in Madden NFL 25 but with some much-needed changes. Superstar Mode is an immersive single-player career mode that sees players creating their own player and taking them from mini-game challenges in the Combine, where they can get scouted, through to major games while navigating career choices through media appearances, team interactions, and more.

On top of this story mode, a post on the EA website confirmed that Madden NFL 25 has an evolved version of the 3-on-3 Superstar Showdown mode introduced in last year's title. This mode sees players competing alongside friends online with their avatar from the campaign mode, and Madden NFL 25 has added far more events and rewards to this.

Madden NFL 25, is set to be released soon. Players will want to know what has changed from previous titles and their options for purchasing the game.

Superstar Mode Has More Player Customization Than Ever

Both In Of Skills And Appearance

This year, Superstar Mode will also feature new preset player archetypes that gamers can model their character on instead of building from scratch. These archetypes correspond to different roles in the various offensive and defensive positions of football, and the chosen preset will determine the player character's stat allocations and maximum ratings, with players having the option to spend up to three creation points to increase a specific rating and thus the abilities associated with it.

Part of the creation points system seems players deciding between spending these on core skills such as Throw power and Accuracy, or physical skills such as Speed, Acceleration or Strength that don't have abilities assoociated to them, but enhance how a player moves and interacts on the field.

Of course, the customization isn't purely on a skill-based level, as players can make their avatar look however they want, be it a recreation of themselves or a pop-culture character. This year, EA has added far more options to change appearances, from new facial structures, hairstyles (including facial hair), and tattoos to give players more creative freedom over the story mode's protagonist.

These improvements for Madden NFL 25 seem to be taking on board player from Madden NFL 24, and while there are plenty of new additions in the game, it does bode particularly well for fans of Superstar Mode, be it in single-player or multiplayer.
