How to play Madden NFL 25 with your friends
As I said, playing a friendly mode is pretty straightforward.
you may tweak many in-game settings before proceeding with the friendly mode. This includes theGame Style(I prefer it to be Competitive when playing with another human opponent) and other aspects like quarter length, injuries, etc.
you’re able to also opt to play with a custom squad if the two of you want something different from the default. To do so, you can change the depth chart of your selected lineup. While you can’t win any rewards from these friendly games, it’s a fun way to spend time for sure.
