Online Franchise League disbanded without any of our commissioners intervention
Our online league seems to have been disbanded randomly by EA. Looking for any help or solutions to this. This has been an ongoing league for 3-4 seasons now. Lots of good data lost and would like the franchise recovered.
What we need from Madden 27: Franchise Mode
What we need from Madden 27: Franchise Mode: Import draft classes from College Football 27 to Madden This is a MUST! And will GUARANTEE huge “PRESALES!” It’s actually quite simple. I understand NFL licensing and college NIL, but if the import draft class college players are computer generated and they have no ties to NIL. After 5 season of college football “27” dynasty mode, ALL of the players on each team’s roster are computer generated. Thus no ties to NIL, thus should be eligible to import into Madden “27.” This one small but huge change is what ALL Madden franchise players want and need! To announce something like this will increase pre sale to possibly record sale. Please consider this one major change. More detailed and more realistic NFL draft After watching this past 2026 NFL draft, in franchise mode we need the draft to resemble real life draft. Please introduce a “Draftcast” during the teams draft pick. The “Draftcast” can possibly show the teams positions of need, last season record, place in division, best available, trade news. During the franchise draft we should be able to see our past draft picks during the draft. When I’m drafting players I sometimes forget which position or player I drafted in the earlier rounds. During our draft selections we should be available to see our past picks along with team needs. This will improve to the franchise mode drafting tremendously, try to make it more realize as far as information given on the screen. (Best available, team needs, draft order etc.) this can be news ticker or “crawl” shown on the bottom of the screen, just a like a real life NFL draft. Also if possible give us more detail information of each prospect, “medical history,” (type of past injuries, how many missed games during college career) “awards,” (Heisman, Doak awards etc) “accolades” (All-SEC or 2nd team Big Ten etc) Free agency during the season, we need to know the player’s career stats and injury history. In real life these are major factors when deciding to add a free agent during the regular season. In Madden 26 during the regular season if I decide to add a free agent I can’t view their career stats or injury history. This is much needed please.Madden 26 slow sim league recruiting

Why can't I use custom Teambuilder teams in Offline mode?
Something I've wanted to do for a while was play and develop my own league in franchise mode (Replacing all the teams and rosters of some of my own) and then just spectate games and simulate it all on it's own, solo. Yet, in Madden 26, it is impossible to use the custom teams I made and downloaded, in offline mode, only online mode. And even in online mode, I can't make multiple characters to swap between the teams. I have to retire a coach every week in order to watch and simulate CPU games.Madden 27 franchise performance based regress feature
In madden 26, it feels like every player can become good in one or two seasons without even really doing much. In madden 27 I think you guys should add a feature that affects the way a player gains xp or loses some, based on their performance. However, higher OVR players should have a higher expectation than mid or bad players and not meeting a goal as a higher overall player makes them lose overall. For example, a WR like JSN should have a season goal of 1000 yds. Let’s say that he got 925 at the end of the season. His overall should not take a huge hit but he might drop in a minor rating. Let’s say in another season he only got 400 yds. This should take his overall from 92 down to 87-88. I think users should be able to pick how harsh they want the goal and how much xp is lost from not meeting a goal in the franchise settings. Or you could make the choice to make goal expectations even higher for to make it even harder to develop or maintain an elite player. The same should work for other positions but use other stats obviously like sacks, PBU’s, INTs, Tackles, ETC. Now for trash players since they aren’t high overall, their expectations are obviously gonna be much lower. For example, a 73 OVR WR should have an expectation of 300-400 yds. If they don’t hit this goal they should start to gain less xp making it even harder for the WR breakout and become higher ovr. If they reach the expectation they should start gaining xp much faster than the previous season. But, if the 73 ovr WR shatters the expectation, his overall should be directly affected. For example, he gets 1000 yards in a season, this should make him go up to at least an 80 temporarily. But if he doesn’t keep up the consistency he would drop back down to his overall without the OVR boost. Now, I think there should be week to week goals which determine more of how much xp you gain and then seasonal goals which affect xp and the OVR directly. Again this could be optional in the settings and customizable to fit what type of league you want to have. I’m a online franchise guy and within two years every team is stacked and players that aren’t even doing good are high overalls. Lmk what you think.Come Join Realistic Franchise League!

I exclusively play franchise mode and have some suggestions. I believe that the heavy reliance on visible overall ratings makes the mode feel more like a spreadsheet simulator than a true NFL simulation. It removes a lot of strategy, scouting, and decision-making that should be at the heart of building a franchise. Here are some key changes I’d love to see in Madden 27 to make Franchise deeper and more realistic: Hide Overall Ratings for Rookies and Add More Draft Fog Right now, you can see exact overalls immediately, which lets players cherry-pick the “best” ratings without any risk or evaluation. In real life, teams don’t know a rookie’s true NFL value on draft day. There should be significantly more draft fog — no clear “top 5” talent list, and overalls/potential should be hidden or only partially revealed at first. Suggestion: Make rookie overalls and development traits hidden by default. They slowly reveal (and narrow in accuracy) based on snaps played, practice performance, and in-season stats over the course of the rookie year. This would force coaches to actually play their high draft picks and evaluate them on the field, just like real NFL teams do. This would add real consequences for drafting busts. Currently, you can take a QB in the top 10, see a low overall, bench him forever with zero downside. In reality, there’s massive pressure (and roster/cap repercussions) to give first-round picks meaningful reps and a chance to develop or fail. Overhaul Free Agency — No Visible Overalls Free agents (especially unsigned or lesser-known players) should not show overall ratings or badges at all. Instead, evaluations should be based on recent season stats, advanced metrics, attributes, injury history, and team-specific scouting reports. Why would your organization instantly know the exact overall of a player they’ve never had on the roster? This would make signing free agents feel like real personnel decisions rather than just sorting by OVR. Shift Contract Negotiations and Value to Production/Stats (Not Just Overall) Player value and contract demands should be driven much more by actual on-field production, stats, and recent performance than raw overall rating. A high-overall player who underperforms for one or more seasons should see their perceived value and contract demands drop realistically — just like in the real NFL. Add Loyalty and Franchise Legacy Factors Franchise mode currently has almost no sense of loyalty or long-term connection to players. A quarterback or key veteran who’s been with the team for 10+ years should have a strong “loyalty” or “legacy” factor that influences: (a) Their desire to stay/re-sign at a team-friendly deal. (b)Playing time decisions (they might get the benefit of the doubt over a slightly better young player). (c) Fan and media reaction if you cut or bench them too quickly. Right now, you can discard a long-time franchise QB the moment his overall dips with zero repercussions. That doesn’t reflect how real organizations (and fanbases) treat their legends. Overall, these changes would shift Franchise away from “chase the highest OVR” and toward actual NFL-style strategy, scouting, risk/reward, and roster management. It would reward ingenuity and long-term planning instead of making the mode feel like a boring rating-chasing game.EA_KentEA_Shepard

As of 10/4 the franchise mode is broken again. Can not import a local file or download a draft class into the franchise. It errors and says to try again every time. Every time they code a new title update they break all the code from previous. This is rediculous. How are they justifying this when charging $70+ for each mode. Every year the patches cause more problems!Looking for a league come join us
