Madden 25 sliders still have their use despite the August release of its follow-up. This element of Madden 25 enables you to customise parameters such as blocking, interceptions and penalties – as a practise run for the next Madden, or simply to enjoy a bargain bin purchase. Fine-tune your official NFL experience in myriad ways 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 freelance 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+.
