Madden 25 Beta Expands with Franchise Mode and More Features

As virtual football season approaches, EA’s Madden 25 Beta is gearing up with expanded features. The second weekend of closed beta access is now live, offering enthusiasts a deeper dive into gameplay. New additions include the much-anticipated franchise mode and training camp, enhancing the gaming experience.

For those who participated in the first weekend, these new features are already playable. If you missed out initially, EA plans to distribute more codes, ensuring more players can join in. However, some aspects like Team Builder and certain storyline branches won’t be available in this closed beta phase, limiting the full experience.

Despite these limitations, the closed beta provides a glimpse into Madden 25’s franchise mode dynamics, offering a taste of what’s to come. EA advises that progress made during this beta will not carry over to the final release version, emphasizing that team playbooks and rosters are still subject to updates.

In Madden Ultimate Team (MUT), the second weekend brings additional modes like Forge Challenges and Epic Challenges, alongside staples such as H2H Seasons and Practice Mode. EA hints at further enhancements but hasn’t disclosed specifics yet.

For those eager to participate, here’s how to access the beta:

• PlayStation: Use your Sony Entertainment Network account, navigate to the PlayStation Store, and redeem your code.
• Xbox: Access the Store, select ‘Use a Code’, sign in if necessary, and redeem your 25-character code.
• EA App: Open your EA App Library, choose ‘Redeem Code’, enter your code, and get ready to play.

As anticipation builds for EA College Football 25’s July 19 release and Madden 25’s August 16 launch, stay tuned for updates and further details.
