On Thursday EA Sports released two pieces of media for Madden NFL 25 through Instagram. Creative director Mike Young sent out an image of William “The Refrigerator” Perry who was confirmed in April as one of the new additions this year. As a legend he’ll be available to control as a “Player” in Connected Franchise or collectible in Madden Ultimate Team. Unfortunately he’ll start out exclusive to those who buy the game at Target but should become available to either purchase or unlock at a later date.
The other, and somewhat more substantial thing to check out, utilized Instagram’s new video feature and showed off a single running play from the 360/PS3 version that featured some nifty footwork by the running back and successful trap blocking from the offensive line. Remember it’s an off-screen video taken with a cell phone so it’s not really representative of how the game looks in terms of the graphics. Instead the value is in seeing an example of the significant improvement made to player control and blocking.
