Like all sports games and career modes, you’ll create your own player and experience the life of an athlete from the ground up.

How to Increase Your Draft Projection in Superstar Mode in Madden NFL 25

There are two main ways to increase your draft stock: excelling in the Draft Combine and answering the interview questions correctly. The Madden NFL 25 Draft Combine event just measures an athlete’s limit through workouts and drills. Once you enter the Draft Combine, you are going to play a few workouts and drills, but most of these will be a “mini-game” of sorts.

For example, there’s a 40-yard dash where you have to tap on two buttons repeatedly to run faster. There’s also a bench press workout that involves timing and precision to get more reps up. These workouts and drills are the main ways to get yourself up in the draft order, and making a mistake will cause you to lose some stock.

If you are unsatisfied with your results, you can restart the drill or workout. After the results grade shows up, you can tap the “X” or “square” button, depending on your platform. Repeat this until you get the best results.

The interview questions are mainly based on historical and current facts about the NFL and American football. There are more than 50 possible questions, and they are easily answered with a simple search.

Maybe the story is made this way because you are some underappreciated sleeper pick that dramatically rises through the league as the best player ever. However, all the drills and workouts you went through seemed pointless if that’s the case.
