Shuffle it up with Ickey Woods, the new best RB in Madden 25

by

As a seasoned Madden enthusiast who’s witnessed countless TD celebrations, I can confidently say that the “Ickey Shuffle” is one of the most iconic and electrifying moments in video game history. And now, with Ickey Woods gracing our screens in Madden 25, it feels like we’ve been given a golden ticket to relive those magic moments.

One of the most iconic touchdown celebrations ever, the “Ickey Shuffle,” is now ripe for recreation! Relive the magic moments with Ickey Woods in Madden 25. This Cincinnati Bengals legend and sandwich enthusiast has officially joined Ultimate Team, and his card is top-tier.

He’s currently the quickest Running Back (RB) in the game, boasting a speed stat of 92. If you pair him with a Cincinnati Bengals themed team, you can even boost his speed to an impressive 93 points. This team setup would also grant you Joe Burrow and Jamarr Chase, creating a remarkably dynamic offense.

In a simpler and more conversational manner: This character, AKA Evasive, comes without any Action Points needed, enhancing his spins and dodges to be both effective and maneuverable. If you’ve encountered CJ2K in the game, you’d understand how powerful that skill can be. At the moment, it’s going for approximately 900,000 coins, which isn’t too steep a price tag for one of the game’s top running backs.

However, many elite players argue that his best attribute is Tank, which disregards hit-stick tackle attempts. It seems that the timing of hit-sticks isn’t as significant as Madden’s promotional materials suggested, leading some to repeatedly use them and still receive rewards. Nevertheless, this strategy doesn’t work when Ickey is sprinting downfield.

Standing at 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing 230 pounds, Ickey is a powerful player who tends to plow forward when tackled. Add his lightning-fast game-changing speed, and you’ve got a true canine athlete on your hands. The AKA program acknowledges players renowned for their nicknames. Elbert Woods earned the moniker “Ickey” when he was young, as his little brother struggled to say Elbert and instead said Ickey. This mispronunciation turned out to be lucky for him, as the “Elbert Shuffle” might not have gained popularity otherwise.
