Top 10 Franchise and H2H Madden 25 Teams

In both Play Now and Franchise mode, the top teams in Madden 25 should not be a surprise due to their impressive rosters filled with talented players.

In Madden 25, the team overalls in Play Now and Online H2H differ from those in Franchise mode. The criteria used by EA to determine ratings between each game mode is uncertain, but there are minimal discrepancies.

Among the NFL teams, there is a distinct group of Superbowl contenders who have distinguished themselves from the rest of the pack.

Despite the inherent parity in football, a significant difference between the best and worst teams serves as a strong indication of the current state of the league.

Keeping this in mind, we will now proceed to discuss the top ten teams.

Best Play Now and Online Head to Head Madden 25 Teams

Team	Overall
Kansas City Chiefs	92
San Francisco 49ers	92
Baltimore Ravens	91
Miami Dolphins	89
Dallas Cowboys	88
Detroit Lions	88
Philadelphia Eagles	87
Cincinnati Bengals	87
Cleveland Browns	87

Following two consecutive Super Bowl victories, the Chiefs demonstrated their shrewdness in the offseason by making strategic moves. They secured their star edge rusher, Chris Jones, through a re-signing and added veteran receiver Marquise (Hollywood) Brown to the team. Additionally, they drafted the quick and agile wideout, Xavier Worthy.

In the meantime, the 49ers, who were the runner-up in the Super Bowl, experienced a somewhat unstable offseason due to uncertainty surrounding the status of star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Furthermore, the team made moves to address the departures of Arik Armstead and Chase Young by bringing in a group of experienced defenders.

Baltimore made a significant impact by acquiring star running back Derrick Henry during the offseason and bolstered their already talented defense with additional players.

Despite the loss of Christian Wilkins and Andrew Van Ginkel, Miami’s defense remains strong heading into the season. The Dolphins have added reliable veteran players to reinforce their defense and their roster is well-balanced.

In Franchise mode, Cleveland and New York have higher rankings compared to Play Now and Online H2H. The Browns possess a top-notch defense, led by the talented Myles Garret, and it can be argued that Nick Chubb is one of the league’s top running backs, second only to Christian McCaffrey.

Similarly, the New York Jets possess a formidable defense and their future hall-of-fame quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, is capable of defeating any opponent at his peak performance.

Despite a few weaknesses on defense, the Detroit Lions possess an offense that can score with ease and is stacked with talented players at every skill position. Few teams are fortunate enough to have the likes of Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam Laporta, David Montgomery, and Jahmyr Gibbs on their roster.
