Madden NFL 25

EA has a brand-new next-generation sports game engine called Ignite, and this new trailer shows off some of the new graphical techniques that can be accomplished with Sony and Microsoft's new hardware.

In the video, the developers talk about some of the fine detail that can now be seen in the players, stadiums – all the way down to the individual blades of grass on the field. They also claim that the new, uncompressed animations will mean that players move more fluidly and naturally. Let's hope the next-gen versions are where EA Sports' development dollars have been going, because the current-gen Madden 25 was a bit disappointing.
