The reverse hurdle that's come to define Saquon Barkley's first season with the Eagles has been added to Madden 25.
EA Sports made the announcement about the update Wednesday:

Barkley completed the reverse hurdle against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9 as part of a 28-23 win for the Eagles. Barkley has rushed for 1,137 yards across his first 10 games as an Eagle, which has put him at the forefront of the Offensive Player of the Year discussion:

Does this make Madden 25 worth buying? As someone who has it, the only reason to really get it if you have any recent version is for the roster updates. There are very few notable differences in the gameplay from year to year.
Also, did EA Sports ever address that this is the second time they've released a game called Madden 25? The 25th anniversary edition of the game — released in 2013 — was also called Madden 25. If memory serves me correctly, it also wasn't very good. Although, the Barry Sanders cover was one of the better ones in the history of the game.
