Even though Madden 25 was released back in August, its sliders still come in handy. These sliders let you adjust things like blocking, interceptions, and penalties—perfect for practice before Madden 26 or just for saving some money by picking up an older game. If you want to personalize your NFL experience, follow our simple step-by-step guide to set up Madden 25 sliders.

To get started, navigate to the main menu, then find the Settings option. Choose “Edit Settings,” and match the listed categories below to the tabs on the menu. If a setting isn’t listed here, just keep it at its default. Once you’ve entered your preferences, try playing a few exhibition games to see how it feels.
