The best Madden 25 sliders and how to use them
Make the NFL sim more realistic and fun with these Madden 25 sliders
Madden 25 sliders are a godsend if you're looking for a stronger test from the annual NFL sim – or simply want more realistic rates of interceptions and penalties. The feature enables you leap into Madden 25 and customise a range of gameplay parameters, often leading to extra authenticity – but difficulty, too. Up for the challenge? Then fine-tune your experience using our step-by-step Madden 25 sliders guide.
How to input Madden 25 sliders
Madden 25 sliders might sound daunting to the newcomer, but they're actually really straightforward to deploy. First, jump into the main menu, then move down to Settings. Select Edit Settings, then match the headings on the list below to the tabs in the horizontal menu bar.
If no value is listed below then leave that particular setting at default. Once you’ve input everything, be sure to try to sample a couple of exhibition matches and see how the game feels. You can then make further tweaks to personalise your own experience. Need gameplay help? Then dip into our Madden 25 tips and Madden 25 best playbooks guides.

I'm GamesRadar's sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don't have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
