Crash/Stay - need an Edge coach setting vs boot pass plays
When a boot or run play occurs with the edge player unblocked, the defender has a choice to make: Do I crash and try to tackle the RB? Do I stay out in case this is a boot by the QB? This needs to be a coach setting in Madden/CFB. Maybe it can be determined by the option defense coach adjustments - if I choose to play QB on options, then that Edge should never crash down to tackle the RB on unblocked plays. If I choose to play RB on options, then that leaves the boot open. In real life, especially the NFL with its under-center offenses, coaches are watching the edge players to see if they are crashing hard on run plays, which gives them the boot passes. Additionally, this also opens up split zone plays, split zone PA (with the sniffer leaking to the flat, pretending to block). There is a whole mini game/mini scheme that is missing from the game because we have no control over what the edge does on unblocked run/pass plays besides zone read.
Every Game is already decided
When I’m playing Online H2H, you can pretty much tell who’s going to win the game by the time it’s halftime. There are better players than me and I totally respect that and I sometimes get beat fairly, but at least 50% of my losses are games that I shouldn’t have even lost, either due to my qb missing 20 throws that any 4th grader could make, my cornerbacks completely leaving their zones, linebackers freezing up when the ball is snapped, while at the same time my opponent with no skill is throwing 80 yard dimes and his running backs are running 3.9 40s. I’m starting to hate this game Edit: I don’t care about better graphics anymore. I don’t care about new features or game modes, they took all the cool ones out anyways (Madden moments). I WISH THEY JUST FIXED WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE :(
New England Patriots logo re-alignment and positioning
I know this year’s madden 26 game is supposed to be realistic, even to the small details but when it comes to team logos on each side of the helmet, one is not completely aligned and position correctly, which one is higher or one is lower than the other and it’s not simply even on each side for the Patriots team helmet. Please fix patriot logo real alignment and positioning for small details.What Are You Doing?
I buy Madden every couple years and pop in here to see what is going on with the current version. And EVERY single time it is people complaining about the EXACT same things as they were 2, 3, 4 years prior. There is no way this game is ever going to be good again, unless they get someone working there that has actually played the game and cares about every person's experience. The fixes we are all asking for are so simple. Like the stats not tracking, the player physique issue, equipment editing horror show (it was perfect up to Madden 23), and SOOO many other issues they refuse to address. Why, I have no idea. Maybe the actually do hate the ones who have been here the longest. I have offered to help for FREE numerous times, and they don't care. To be honest it is sad. It is sad that the things we ask for are not that difficult to remedy. Yet every year we are on these forums asking them to fix the same things over, and over. We have to stop buying this game. And I am guilty of it, I buy it almost every year (only when it is on sale) hoping this is the year they listen to us, this is the year they finally make this game fun for everyone.....And every time I am let down. So find the version of Madden that makes you the least mad (for me it is 23) and play that until you get too old to play. This is never going to get better. Your friend, JoshMadden 26 has so many problems but snow games are #1
look at these pictures of a snow game. 2 games in a row it’s Siberia in Chicago for some reason. Can’t even see the field goal posts and the post touchdown graphic is just an outline of a person. I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life and it’s NEVER looked like this ever. Can’t even see the field markers and they fumble 7-10 times a game.Madden needs a big change!
Why is everything so high like Madden points and the fact that people over price the Mut cards is ridiculous. Another thing is I brought up trying to make the game realistic when the QB throws the ball to a receiver sometimes the defender is just standing right behind him doing nothing he doesn't try to break the ball up or anything. What's the point of having lead passing if the defender can super man jump out of nowhere it makes me very angry when I know I have someone beat then that happens smh. Field goals should be this hard especially when you're close and not being iced smh! And user pick can be annoying too because they are playing with another player then all of a sudden I can pick a player that's somewhat close but not really and intercept the ball smh. I think fourth downs should be hard and 2 point conversions should be hard instead of someone running the score up on someone.27 Madden Franchise Suggestions
I am the biggest Madden Franchise Dynasty mode fan ever. And I have been very disappointed in the lack of in depth focus off the madden franchise focus on dynasty, I miss the days of having all the authenticity of all the real coaches, off/def coordinators and special teams coaches. I think it has taken away a lot of the realism. It would be nice if you could create HC, OC, DC, ST coaches like how NBA 2K allows you to since you have limited control and realism over the made up coaches on madden now. It would be nice to be able to edit the coaching pool that you current have, such as name, looks, type of offense/defense philosophy’s and a position focus as well. i would love to see a new coaching system on madden where you can have HC, OC, OC and ST but also have position coaching who have speciality traits. So for instance if you get a HC who wants to have DC who specializes in a 3-4, he can find a DC which specializes in a 3-4 but then he can find a DL coach, LB coach that specializes in 3-4 schemes. And if you want more man coverage you can find a CB/S coach that specializes in that as well and then when you add players who fit your scheme their specialties enhance your players rating and the defenses overall chemistry . Players who don’t fit the teams overall scheme may struggle or your team chemistry on the field mighr reflect that. Players who have multiple scheme fits then become more attractive bc if you get a DC who runs multiple defenses the player is more valuable bc of multiple scheme fit. Same for offense .you should be able to have an OC, OL coach, WR TE coach, RB and OL coach, and based on the HC offensive scheme, if the OC mirrors it should affect the team chemistry. If position coaches mirror the OC type of offense or style of play, it increases team chemistry and gives the players a boost in certain attributes. they should give HC an ability to have a different structure. Traditionally OC, DC and ST or pass game coordinators/ run game coordinators and same on defense. Signing all coaches for multiple years would be good as well. If someone wants to steal your coach for a head coach position it should allowed but if you or a cpu controlled team wants to sign your coach to a lateral position you should be able to decline or accept. Trading for HC should be an option as well. They should also let you have to the ability to resign players not on contract years -vs just on their contract year. They should give you the ability to resign throughout the entire season or offseason. It would be nice to go back to signing free agents in the preseason to more than just one year. That’s not realistic- a lot of players sign for multiple year deals. Coaches and player should be asked to ask for contracts before if they have outplayed their deals or coaches should be able to offer a deal before their have a contract year. Madden has gotten very lazy in franchise mode and the realness has reduced every year and since there are no other games to compete it’s like EA /Maddeb don’t care but these are things that could really make Madden franchise mode fun again,Superstar and Franchise vs MUT
Another day where superstar continues to be broken on Madden26. Months now this has been reported and zero support or solution has been found. I continue to report the issue and get the same generic answer that they are looking into it and multiple people reported the issue but when an entire game mode is broken for so many people for months and nothing is fixed, you start to think nothing is actually being done. franchise mode hasn’t had rosters updated in weeks either. Though it’s obvious, EA only cares about MUT because it’s where they make their money. While other people that just want to play the normal game modes are left sitting on their hands.Madden rating system needs a make over
This discussion is for the Madden ratings system in conduct with online play. The way that they rated is not enjoyable for online play and we know we can just edit them for our own Quick play and Franchise purposes. The ratings are in a nutshell “terrible” and unenjoyable for playing online. Although Competitive is the mode for online play, these players ratings still have an impact on the success of each play. For example, even on competitive mode Matthew Stafford will run at his 70-79 speed oppose to Lamar Jackson at his 96 speed and it is noticeable. Or if someone has Sheduer Sanders and they try to throw deep it will be inconsistent and probably over throw oppose to a quarterback like Mahomes where the pass will probably be more accurate and near the receiver. So ratings “does” play a role still in “Competitive Mode”. So with that being said, you can not just rate these players on there popularity in the league! You need to get somebody who knows every last star players exact unpredictable ratings correct first! Like receivers that have good moves off the line of scrimmage, you put there release ratings in the 90’s, even the tight ends that are good should have release ratings like 86 and up. The offensive linemen are a complete joooooke. There’s no offensive lineman no matter how fat you think they are lol, that is slow in the 60’s speed rating that is a complete joke because they have to pull and get the linebackers. And I’ve yet to see a running back in the league who passes the lineman on an off tackle or pull run. Great lineman should be rated in speed around 88 and up. And yes there’s defensive linemen that should be rated 90 and up. And in this league, Linebackers are not this slow on understanding if a receiver is going towards them on a route that this is not who they cover. For Christ sakes you still have Bo Nix rated a “81” on a great Bronco team that is probably number two in the league right now. This is highly unacceptable because it is so unenjoyable online. And still no proper face scan..or excuse me as a 3d major in college I will say you still haven’t created the polygon face for Sanders. I will like to know if you need help on these ratings as far as advising you on this. Because we know how great this game is and would like to help rather the talk down to. point is the ratings needs to be more of how valuable the specific players are “to the specific team” rather then what you perceive as a star player.Superstar Mode Error
Unfortunately, the Superstar mod has never worked well for me. After buying the game at launch, I could never get into it. When I tried to start the game in Superstar mod mode, the entire Madden application would crash. Now, after the latest update, I can at least play with it, but there's a problem. In the league settings, I set quarters to 12 minutes, but when I start the game, they're only 6 minutes long. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a solution?
