(PLEASE EA READ THIS) Madden 26 Superstar Ko idea
Hi EA Team, I’m a longtime Madden fan and I’ve really enjoyed the Superstar KO mode from Madden 20. I’d love to see it make a comeback in Madden 26, perhaps with some new twists or updated teams. I feel like we should keep it like madden 20 but add more celebs like Travis Scott or Anthony Edwards like in madden 20 with Dj Khaled and Migos and yachty. And keep it the exact same PLEASE Its really fun have Golden tickets and legends make it feel special and also if you can please add a face creation for Franchise but if you can do the superstar ko idea Fist PLEASE EA READ THIS. Have old time legend like Peyton manning and john Elway rice moss Just like the madden 20 ko if it the exact same i will be happy even more PLEASE Best regards, R4tt7 Love your games Ea have a nice day.R4tt72 days agoRising Newcomer9Views0likes0CommentsMadden 26 Companion App Release Date
Hello, When is the expected release date for the companion app for Madden 26? Last year, it was nearly a month after the Madden release. I am a third-party developer that relies on the companion app. Knowing the release ahead of time would help me schedule around the release date to work on my application. I appreciate any information you can provide. Best, Joshramsfan322 days agoRising Newcomer17Views0likes0CommentsMadden league for madden 26

Soon as discord is full i will start the spin the wheel4Views0likes0CommentsRumor is dynamic lighting is only in the college game
If this is true, are you kidding me? It will be a hard no buy for me if that is the case. All this time talking about immersion and you can't make it so the sun doesn't violate the laws of physics? I really, truly hope the Madden graphics team did not do this. It's embarrassing that in 2025 we have games that don't understand that the Earth revolves around the sun, creating something we call SUNSET.EliteTeamKiller4 days agoSeasoned Traveler26Views0likes0Commentscoin flip
Its weird that I have missed the classic idea of the coin flip and making the choice in the beginning of the game. recently I was playing college 25 and like madden the last several years, found the game automaticly picks for you based the 1st choice in settings. but I find at times, I like change it up. so why is madden taking that part of the game out the last 5 years. Sometimes my gameplan is based on the flip, and how I want to start off. I Know its not in this game, but why not bring it back.beast2555 days agoSeasoned Traveler6Views0likes0CommentsWill there be more new defensive features in m26?
I'm just wondering because the past few years it's been all about the offense.Intuitive-tumult6 days agoSeasoned Veteran11Views0likes0CommentsIn the huddle experience
Hi my name is Shawn Shaw! I like to say thank you for creating these football games. I love playing them. I buy the game as soon as it releases every year. Now I have an idea that I think it would be really awesome for us Madden players and I’d like to present it to you guys. Do you know when you’re watching NFL through the season and you’re watching it on TV and you see the camera and you got players miked up and you can hear them in the huddle like all right we’re gonna run scattered to West right tight F left 372 y stick the spot. That’s just a random play, but why don’t they put actual play names in Madden when they’re doing the huddle had the quarterback down on his knees or whatever given out a play like it would be a real life thing right then when you go to Audible instead of saying COVID-19 or whatever they say, why don’t you guys add Axel audibles that you hear like Peyton Manning Jared golf big Ben call out like Omaha or Hank like Drew breeze used to do. This is just a suggestion. I think it would involve more people than what you already got.coltsnationshaw6 days agoRising Newcomer11Views0likes0CommentsOld gen Rookie Premiers
Will, my rookie premieres from old gen madden 25 be available on next gen Madden 26?VLazzlo9 days agoRising Novice13Views0likes0CommentsRookie Premiere Transfer Between Consoles
With presumably a handful of players switching from playing on Xbox or PS5 to Nintendo Switch 2, now is the perfect time to allow cross platform Rookie Premiere transfer. Considering our data is linked to our EA accounts, my suggestion is granting earned Rookie Premiere cards to whichever console accesses Madden NFL 26 first. If I earned my cards in Madden NFL 25 on PlayStation 5, I should be able to login to my EA account to play Madden NFL 26 on Nintendo Switch 2 and receive my Rookie Premiere cards on that console. I implore the developers to make this happen, as there are likely dozens of players such as myself considering switching to a portable console, but don't want to miss out on the rewards we worked so hard for in Madden NFL 25. Thank you.25Views0likes0CommentsDepth Chart ratings order for specific positions.
Hoping EA will someday give us this option . I believe IF we have the option to see ratings in order with their respective position while editing your Depth Chart that all the madden gamers can make changes way quicker . i.e : while in the depth chart and looking at Offensive lineman , the ratings for Pass Block , Run Block etc., will be listed FIRST instead of having to scroll all the way down to those ratings. And like list the Defensive Backs Man Coverage and Zone Coverage first . This has been a nuisance of mine for many years . I’m always changing my depth chart and hate the fact that I have to scroll all the way down to a certain positions ratings while deciding which player to move up or down in my Depth Chart. You can have all the other ratings listed in the same sequence but please put a lineman’s specific ratings FIRST and it would save gamers tons of time . Like honestly do we really need to know what my centers Passing Accuracy is ??? When he will Never be throwing the **bleep** football . We can’t even sub centers to a qb position. You all know what’s I mean .Catch226ring11 days agoSeasoned Novice18Views0likes0Comments- v4N9C712 days agoRising Newcomer23Views0likes0Comments
Salary Cap in Connected Franchise Mode
EA Admins, can you let us know if you've fixed the bug with the Salary cap for CFM in Madden? For the last 2 maddens the salary stops increasing at 315 million total per team even though salaries continue to increase. In real-life, salary goes up 10-20 million per year to account for QBS and other skill positions constantly resetting the market however after year 3 in CFM it just stops going up.buctime7913 days agoRising Novice13Views0likes0CommentsMadden 26 PS5/PS5 Pro
Hello, I would like to know if madden 26 is expected to have the choice to run at 120fps for ps5 or ps5 pro users. To my understanding, all previous madden games were capped at 60fps on ps5 not sure if this was because of old gen capability or something else, but with this year's madden only coming out on newer gen consoles will this finally be supported on ps5 consoles?reyjr56114 days agoRising Scout71Views0likes0CommentsEA Sports Radio & College Football draft class import. Franchise mode
For those of us old enough to have played Madden 05, adding sports talk radio host Tony Bruno was the ultimate cherry on top of a well realized franchise mode. It took a while but franchise mode is great again imo, I’m hyped on the new additions…but if you want franchise to be elite again we need these two additions, and I’ll tell you why: 1) adding EA Sports Radio will be a much better filler than music, it keeps the player engaged in the sport during off season, stat crunching, strategizing etc 2) importing draft classes from College Football allows the player to have a real football universe connecting their favorite players, teams, memories from college and watching them evolve into the NFL…now some may like the import of a single player, but to have entire draft classes is better for longevity, even if it means only being able to import classes that do not have real players after every real person is already aged out of the college game, it would be worth it, but really might as well draw it into the contracts for college players if possible. Glad franchise is in a better place the past couple years, and I hope these ideas make it to the right people for consideration.coryNcali14 days agoRising Newcomer8Views0likes0CommentsMADDEN 26 DO NOT BUY
I Will not be buying madden unfortunately the game doesn’t match its price tag, it just feels like a rinse and repeat game with updated rosters only?. It’s disappointing that NFL2k05 Had more features than madden 2025. The EA company needs to take a step back and actually make the game more enjoyable , especially with career mode ! Can you not add a trophy room for all the things you win? Can we get some type of story behind our career like REAL LIFE. & Why aren’t past teams in the game ? Why do I have to go on ultimate team to play with Steve young or have to download a roster ?. I’m not the only one saying this by the way.

Yes, an idiots guide to not trading your tokens away in error. I heard a kid earlier tonight state that on the current M25 he accidentally traded his Fan Appreciation tokens from his CB Ted Hendricks for the 99 trade, he got nothing, but that's your luck. I feel for the kid in a way. I think some noobies may need a bit of a reminder. Or can we have option, just so they're not completely done over lol, to lock in tokens onto players so you can't use them?Burnzee18 days agoSeasoned Veteran16Views0likes0Comments- 11Views0likes0Comments
Madden NFL 26 Superstar Deep Dive
Hello Madden players! Welcome back to Gridiron Notes, your home for Madden NFL 26 news and updates. Today’s the day we dive into both College Football 26’s Road to Glory and Madden NFL 26’s Superstar Mode! This year marks the 20th anniversary of Superstar Mode and it’s the fastest-growing mode in Madden over the last two years. We’re excited to bring you a host of information about everything new in the modes, straight from the developers! Superstar Introduction Madden NFL 26 marks the 20th anniversary of Superstar, the first completely player-centric career mode in Madden history. Twenty years ago, experiencing a team sport like football through the lens of an individual player was an entirely new concept, but its inception inspired a new genre of gaming. To celebrate this twenty-year milestone, the dev team is proud to announce the largest and most impactful update in Superstar’s history. Built on some of Madden’s strongest technical systems, we have completely revamped the core experience and created a future of possibilities. Our three new core features are Game Day Beats, Sphere of Influence, and Career Chapters. They all work together to amplify the most authentic and engaging career path Superstar has ever seen. From challenging gameplay modifications on the field, to relationships and consequences off the field, the player journey brings every week of the NFL season to life. For years, our fans have been asking for higher stakes, more consequences, and better agency in the weekly loop. While skill progression will always be a core part of player development, being an NFL Superstar is more than just an OVR number. In Madden NFL 26, we will deliver a more holistic experience that brings out the Superstar in YOU! Career Chapters Missing from previous iterations of Superstar was a sense of where you stood in your journey at any given time. Yeah, you had an OVR, and maybe you were on a Super Bowl winning team, but how close were you to becoming a true NFL Superstar? The path to stardom has many steps, and with the addition of Superstar Career Chapters, you’re tangibly stepping your way up to greatness. You will know WHO you are and WHAT you need to do to reach the next level. Start as a backup and grind your way to full-time starter by impressing your coach. From there it only gets harder as you strive to win over teammates, fans and the media, en route to becoming a bonafide legend. Each Chapter of your career comes with clear goals that must be met to move forward in your journey. But with a path to greatness comes the peril of consequences. If you don’t meet your goals, you can find yourself regressing and losing playing time to a hungrier teammate. Only through a combination of skill, success, and personal balance can you eventually reach the top. It’s important to know that becoming a Superstar is a balancing act. If you are only please your coach, you may never get the love you need from the media to be accepted as a legend. Or if you are only please your fans, and disregard your coach, you’ll be a man of the people… seated firmly on the bench. Let’s break down the three new core features and explain how they all work together to redefine the mode. Career Chapters - The Backup Experience The dev team issued a challenge to itself at the beginning of the year; let’s make it FUN to play as a backup. We all know it’s great to be a starter and get all the snaps, but over the years our fans have told us they covet a challenge. Our goal was to capture that sense of challenge in a backup experience that felt interactive, exciting and even dramatic. Luckily, we had great real-life NFL examples, such as “Mr. Irrelevant” Brock Purdy checking in for the injured Jimmy Garoppolo. Or Russell Wilson coming out of nowhere to unseat a highly-paid free agent and shock the depth chart in Seattle. We also imposed a design rule; backups shouldn’t have to play through endless chains of drills week in and week out. We believed the backup experience should have realistic game action intertwined with other meaningful opportunities to earn a look as a starter. This game action could be mop-up duty in a blowout where your coach gives you a couple drives to showcase a specific proficiency. Maybe the starter gets banged up and you get a game or two to show what you’ve got. These organic moments that mirror real-life NFL will bring excitement to the daily grind of earning a starting job.
