The name Diego is not profane...
You guys seriously need to change this. This is ridiculous! The name Diego is not profane! It is a common Hispanic name. You are seriously screwing with my realism here! I'm trying to edit my draft class to include a person named Diego and it absolutely will not let me use this name. Please fix this! This is unacceptable!New Sim Madden League: As Real As It Gets (ARAIG)
New Sim Madden League: As Real As It Gets (ARAIG) As Real As It Gets (ARAIG) is a new online franchise built around realistic gameplay. ARAIG is looking for mature players. Football nerds get bonus points. League setup: * 72-hour advance * Neonsportz integration * All Madden difficulty * 10 min. quarters / 16 second runoff (approx. 105 offensive plays per game - on par with sim stats) * Modified sliders (monitored and adjusted based on as-played stats) * Increased penalties, injuries, and fatigue (discipline and depth matter) * Offensive play-call limits * No superstar abilities * No player edits or modifications * Beyond that, we play Madden mostly as is. The point is to keep the league realistic without loading it up with excessive "out of the box" modifications or requirements. ARAIG will be starting the 2026 offseason once we have a critical mass of players. Understanding that we are starting late in the Madden 2026 cycle, our hope is to play at least a couple of seasons and establish a core group of players for Madden 2027.

On PS5 in Franchise mode, the ineligible receiver setting is broken and unable to be turned on. It does not display in the gameplay sliders But displays in the penalties section in-game and unable to be turned on This makes gameplays on RPO’s severely broken as lineman get 3-5 downfield blocking LB’s who are then taken out of their coverage assignments with no penalties called and needs to be fixed ASAP🔥 All-Madden Franchise | True Sim | No Abilities | Smooth Gameplay

The new rookie it’s storyline feature would be beat if it worked properly. however instead of selecting a player I draft, 3 seasons in a row now it has selected the same player who was already on my team at the start of the franchise. His info says he was like a 6th round pick in 2022. So the text on the screen about first round pick is wrong or it should be selecting a different player or both. lastly the first time each season the storyline comes up the player gets a 2500xp buff or attributes at the skill position depending on which dialog option you pick which is great except then the storyline comes back up every few weeks throughout the season. Same text same dialog options but the rest of the season no buff so it is clearly meant to only happen in preseason but comes up several times several weeks into the season. EA please fix rookie OTA storyline to select a rookie the user drafts preferably that season, and make the storyline only come up in preseason as clearly intended. ThanksBlack cleats
In franchise mode my players who cleats are locked in to always wear black cleats, have somehow been switch in franchise mode to be locked in to always wear white cleats. Can this be fixed? I want my players to able to wear black and white cleats in the game. The whole team now can only wear white cleats with team color.
EA Please Update The Colleges in Madden
Hi, I have been buying and playing Madden Football since Madden 5. And I love to play Franchise Mode, I must say it has improved over the years, But there is one thing that really annoys me that has never changed. The College Teams available in Player creation/or player edit. I think this has been the same since the game started, and there a lot of colleges that do not play college football any more, and quite a few that are missing. So Please EA if you look at these. Please for Madden 27 can you update the colleges, so it has all the FBS,FCS,Div II & Div III teams. and remove the teams that are now not playing college football. Thank you.
Feature Request – “NFL Eras Mode” for Madden NFL 27
I would like to propose a new Franchise feature for future Madden titles: an “NFL Eras Mode,” inspired by the successful Eras system in NBA 2K. This mode would allow players to begin a Franchise in a selected historical NFL era and progress forward through time with authentic league evolution. The goal is to create a living football history experience where users can relive, rewrite, or completely reshape NFL history. Core Concept: Players select a starting era (e.g., 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s) and begin Franchise Mode with: Real teams, uniforms, and rules from that time period Accurate rosters for that era Era-specific presentation (broadcast overlays, commentary tone, stadium atmosphere) Key Features: Historical Draft Classes Real incoming rookie classes by year (e.g., 1998 Peyton Manning / Ryan Leaf draft, 2000 Tom Brady draft) Ability to follow or alter real draft outcomes Dynamic League Evolution Rule changes over time (e.g., passing emphasis, defensive restrictions) Salary cap growth and contract evolution Team relocations and expansions (e.g., Texans, Rams, Raiders) Era-Based Presentation Broadcast packages styled by decade Commentary referencing historical context Visual filters and stadium authenticity Franchise What-If Scenarios Rewrite history: prevent dynasties, create new ones Control multiple teams or simulate league-wide outcomes Legacy Tracking Track alternate NFL history across decades Compare user-generated outcomes vs real-world records Why This Matters: This feature would significantly deepen Franchise Mode by adding historical immersion, replayability, and long-term engagement. It would appeal to both older fans who want to relive past eras and younger players interested in NFL history. It also creates a unique differentiation opportunity for Madden by expanding beyond modern-day simulation into a full historical football sandbox. Thank you for your consideration.ALWAYS RAINING in Franchise mode PS5
PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!!! It is ALWAYS heavy downpour rain in EVERY SINGLE outdoor game I play in franchise mode. If it isn't possible to Fix this glitch in Madden 26 on PlayStation 5, give players the option to turn off weather completely. This is absolutely ridiculous and I know I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. I spend good money to play a game and something as stupid as weather shouldn't be a big problem to fix.Franchise Mode
I have played franchise mode since the beginning and love it. But there are so many things that could make it better. Coach mode wasn't a massive improvement for so many reasons but the sake of this post is things that need to be corrected in this year version. During the draft myself and the other users continually have an issue where we try and draft a player with plenty of time left and we will get a message saying "your time has expired your staff drafted for you". It happened to myself and another user on back to back picks. Also team builder was an amazing addition but it refers to the team builder teams as Chicago. Last year it was home team or visitor team. I turned off the commentary because of it. I know you can't say every city but home and visitor would be better. We should be able to do better with the weekly strategies. An example is if your 6 player focuses run out you have to select it again and for the current week it is a waste of a use, it won't take effect until the next week. These are just a few and I will start a new post with suggestions for next year's game with hopes it will be read.Madden 26 Franchise Gameplay Problems
All of the fixable problems I have run into in Madden 26 so far. The truck stick doesn't work at all. Opponents' defensive players transport through receivers to intercept the ball, as well as D-linemen transport through my blockers. Once a play is done, I try to hurry up my offense, but it doesn't work. Not being able to change who is on my kick off return formation, which lead to my best DB getting injured and out for the year. An odd thing that doesn't make sense is why there are such strong winds within a closed-roof stadium. Had a WR in motion pre-play, and they ran into my TE, which forced them offside. While tackling a QB, the slide animation happens, allowing they to exit the tackle and gain more yards. WR/TE's catching balls through defensive players.Feature Request: Let Us Re‑Draft REAL Rookie Classes
I think Madden is missing a huge opportunity with Franchise mode. Every year we hear about a “new draft presentation,” which is cool, but at the end of the day we’re still drafting a bunch of generated players. Meanwhile, the real rookie class—the one everyone actually cares about—is locked to whatever order they went in that year. It would be an awesome addition if we could reset the upcoming rookie draft in Franchise and participate in it ourselves. Imagine starting Madden 27 and being able to run the 2026 draft your way. If I want to take Fernando Mendoza wherever I choose instead of where he went in real life, I should be able to. That’s the fun of Franchise: rewriting history. Being able to draft the real class each year—not just fictional players—would take Franchise immersion to another level. It would make the draft presentation actually matter, and it would give players way more control over how their league evolves. This would be a badass feature and something a lot of Franchise players would use.
