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.2Views0likes0Comments27 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,866d40001bc2577e1 day agoSeasoned Newcomer22Views0likes0CommentsSuperstar 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.StewLexus41 day agoRising Newcomer8Views0likes0CommentsSuperstar 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?11Views0likes0CommentsSuggested one play on play call screen?
Does anyone know if you can have the play call screen suggest just one play versus three? There used to be an option to have the quick play screen but not seeing anything. It just added more of a realistic play option. Any help would be much appreciated!tgiving102 days agoSeasoned Rookie11Views0likes0CommentsDefense player falls when B button is pushed
Anyone else having issues on defense when switching to player with B button during the play. When I push B to switch players the player automatically falls down , I push B again for the next closest player and he falls down . This glitch just started yesterdayJgiz0334 days agoRising Newcomer22Views0likes0CommentsNew drip collectors chem not working
I bought all 6 of the collectors series drip players to get the chem boosted that should turn them all to 99 players, and the chem boosted shows active but is not actually working. Any ideas on this? It would suck to have wasted almost 10 million coin on this. My friend also bought the same players from the program and his chem shows active as well but he isnt getting the chem boosted either.turboturtle204 days agoRising Rookie32Views0likes0CommentsFix Cover 9 (Cover 7 Clip) vs Trips
Cover 9 is poorly coded vs Trips formations and it is quite easy to see that this particular defense is exploitable and easy to manipulate. #1 The fact that the 3rec is hard coded to the #3, is wrong. The 3rec should relate to the #3 with a technique known as “cut” which means to take your receiver vertical and inside back to the ball. However if he immediately goes out, then you look to the #1. ex. Post (#1) - wheel (#2) -flat (#3) route combination or any vertical - out- out Soft squat - takes the wheel until he recognizes the flat. Takes the flat Vert hook- (#2 goes out) gets vertical to cut the post while the 3rec also gets vertical looking for anything coming back inside. 3rec- (#3 goes out) gets vertical and looks to squeeze the 1st crosser. The post from the #1 would be the first crosser. And the vertical hook would have the wheel. Both are playing under the help the deep safety. The 3rec does not follow #3 to the flat. He looks to get vertical to get the 1st crosser after the route distribution. In the end the post is the new #3. The Wheel is the #2. The flat is the #1. https://youtu.be/n18Dp4eCh9E?si=3ncKaQdz_AqSXJaB https://youtu.be/TtkPrAjHEUQ?si=3cvJz1aoplwMR9fq #2 The vert hook should not be chasing #3 inside on play action plays. His responsibility is #2, vertical and inside. If #2 goes out, look to #1. Please code this properly, if you won’t then provide reasoning as to why you’ve coded it the way it is.Ridgeville4 days agoNew Rookie13Views0likes0CommentsBlack Bug Fix

I’ve recently been banned for coin distribution on MUT. I spend most my time playing the game on the menus doing sets or on the auction house. I was making a lot of coins with the changeover between Zero chill and playoff promo as the market as a whole rose. I had a total value in my club of around 15mil and about 7.5mil coins. My appeal for my ban has also been rejected without any explanation or proof at all. I see a lot of people in a similar situation with EA applying baseless bans. The fact that you cannt actually get in direct contact with the Tos team only the 1,000 character message with the appeal is an absolute joke, how are you supposed to establish an understanding of what you have or havent done or explain the situation in that little paragraph. I have played titles from fifa12 - madden26 and this is the first time anything like this has ever happened but its crazy to believe that they do not take any of that into account. I am aware there isn’t anything anybody here can do about this, just pointing out how stupid the system is and how it is a great way to lose players for your games, also just as somewhere to rant about this.beasto696 days agoSeasoned Newcomer69Views0likes2CommentsI was banned from EAMADDEN26 Twitch chat
I was banned from EAMADDEN26 Twitch chat for absolutely no reason. I tried to ask for a transcript of what I supposedly did; I got nothing but a bot rejecting my appeal and a big nothing. I've been on Madden since the first release, June 1, 1988. My wife and I have been building MUT teams since MUT first released on January 7, 2010. I'm really close to leaving Madden altogether. My wife wants to leave now; we enjoyed watching MCS and Good Morning Madden. Does anybody know who I can talk to and get this ban lifted?ARamsFan4Life6 days agoSeasoned Traveler27Views0likes0Comments
