Development is a key aspect in Madden 25‘s Franchise mode, and this holds true for both your players and staff members alike. Recommended Videos.
Just like your players, your staff members can also be enhanced as the seasons progress. You can utilize Staff Points to unlock new abilities. Now, there are numerous options available, but it’s always more efficient to precisely identify your choices. This not only saves your resources but also enables your staff members to improve more rapidly.
The Best Coach Abilities to Unlock in Madden 25
It’s crucial to note that all abilities have specific application scenarios. No ability you unlock after an upgrade will be completely useless, but some are simply better than the others.
| Ability | Effect |
|---|---|
| Secret Stuff | Reduces the time required to heal multi-week injuries |
| After School Tutoring | Allows access to an additional focused player for weekly strategy |
| Steady Hands | Increases the XP gained by WRs during training |
| The Final Piece | All players are considered to fit the team’s training scheme |
| Iron Nerves (OC) | |
| On Line One (Player Personnel) | Ensures a guaranteed trade package for the current user pick during the draft |
| Quite the Sales Pitch (Player Personnel) | Non-X-Factor players will be valued at a higher development trait than their actual worth |
| Scheme Fits (Player Personnel) | Free agents who fit the team’s schemes have increased interest in signing with your team |
Most head coaches will already have some nodes either fully unlocked or requiring partial upgrades. In my save with the Houston Texans, both the offensive and defensive coordinators start with practically clean slates. Therefore, they are the ones who will require more upgrades and Staff Points.
Do keep in mind that even some relatively basic abilities can be highly useful. Some of them have two or three tiers, which further enhances their effectiveness.
