Time to hit the griddy

In Madden NFL 25, there’s plenty of scope to celebrate your accomplishments on the field.

Whether you’re scoring a touchdown or grabbing a tough pass to secure a first down, there are ample ways to express yourself. Even successful defensive plays can trigger a celebration, and then there are plenty of options. Without further delay, let’s take a look at how to celebrate your in-game achievements.

How to perform celebrations in Madden NFL 25

Performing a common celebration is easy. Once you complete a play, an overlay with four options will appear on the screen. Just select an option using your RS, and your superstar will perform the chosen celebration. Of course, the available choices will vary based on the athlete in question. It will also vary based on the position of the athlete.

Please note that the same option will trigger different celebrations depending on the superstar performing it.

How to showboat in Madden NFL 25

Showboating is different from other celebrations, as it’s performed in real-time (usually, all other celebrations happen once a play is complete). The controls for showboating are slightly different:

  • Hold LT/L2 and RT/R2 and press the A/X button.

Be careful, though – try to showboat at the wrong time, and you’ll end up being tackled. It’s best to showboat when you’re sure of reaching the endzone and scoring a touchdown. Whether you showboat or not, a fresh selection of celebrations will be available once you score a touchdown.

If you’re investing time in the Superstar mode, you can unlock lot more celebrations from the store. Additionally, certain quests also reward you with more options. These unlocked celebrations are exclusive to the Superstar mode only.

While the overall choice of celebrations is decent in Madden NFL 25, I would have definitely loved a full list like this for College Football 25.
