What happens in Madden 25’s Combine Interviews?

Download Article

1. 1
   You’ll be asked 10 football (and Madden franchise) trivia questions. During Madden 25’s Combine Interview, teams interested in your player will ask 10 randomized questions, and it’s your job to answer them accurately. You may be asked questions about NFL teams and players, the rules of football, or even deeper (and harder) questions about significant moments in NFL history.

   • Keep in mind that you can’t change your answers after selecting them—so choose wisely!
   • You can only retake the Combine Interview in Superstar mode if you make a new Madden 25 character.
2. 2
   Questions are random and given on a timer. From the moment a question is asked, you’re being timed, so answer fast (or, better yet, have all the answers ready). Each multiple-choice question has 4 possible answers to choose from, and it’s impossible to know which question you’ll be asked, which is yet another reason to come prepared with answers before even starting the interview.

Why Combine Interviews Matter in Madden 25

1.

   Right answers boost your chances of being drafted by a preferred team. If you get all 10 questions right, you’ll get the best possible standing in the draft (after the end of the Combine). Even if you get 8 or 9 questions right, you’ll still have a good standing in the draft. Thus, it’s important to do your best during the Combine Interview, as well as the physical tests. If you get top scores in both, you’ll likely be a team’s #1 draft pick.

   • Even if your player is chosen within the first few rounds of the draft, you should still be in a good position going forward!
2.

   Wrong answers can result in players becoming low-tier draft picks. If you get several questions in the interview wrong, your character will drop into a lower tier for that season’s draft pick—not just for one team, but for every team in the league. That means you’ll have a much lower chance of being picked by your team of choice.

   • You can simply refuse to take part in the interview, but then you’ll lose out on the chance to get a higher rank in the draft.
   • Basically, refusing the interview won’t hurt your tier standings, but it won’t help you, either.
