Madden NFL 25 Players Slam "Unrealistic" Issue With Game EA Won't Fix

As a die-hard fan of the Madden NFL series who has played every single installment since its inception, I can attest to the fact that each game does seem to blend together at times, but there are always those minor details that make all the difference. One such detail that has been nagging at me for years is the persistent use of backup QBs as holders in the game. Now, I understand that this might sound like nitpicking to some, but for a simulation game that prides itself on authenticity and immersion, it’s a glaring oversight that just doesn’t sit well with me.


One of the biggest criticisms lodged against the Madden NFL series is that each game is largely indistinguishable from the previous game. This is the curse of an annualized franchise, and Madden NFL 25 has been no exception to the rule. That said, one issue in particular hasn’t just been an issue in the last game or two, but has been an issue for years. It is not a large issue, but it does hinder immersion, which is an important aspect of a simulation game.

Taking to Reddit, one player recently highlighted the issue in question, and right now it is one of the top posts on the game’s Reddit page, suggesting it is an issue that resonates with hardcore fans of the football series. As the post points out, the backup QB are still serving as holders. For those that don’t watch the NFL this doesn’t happen, and hasn’t happened in years. It used to be what would happen, but punters have been holders for a while now.

Indeed, it seems like a minor glitch that doesn’t significantly affect gameplay, but it does detract from the overall immersive experience. Given that the game puts considerable effort into creating an immersive environment through its presentation and licensing, this oversight appears quite unusual. What adds to the peculiarity is that this issue likely requires minimal effort and time to resolve, leading one to wonder: why hasn’t it been addressed yet, if EA is aware of it?

You can purchase or play Madden NFL 25 on a variety of platforms such as PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. For comprehensive coverage on this EA game, including the latest news, rumors, leaks, and community discussions about Madden NFL 25, click here.
