What I think madden should have
I think the rating in madden 26 are a little like are we sure? But I think madden should have a mutt draft for people who don’t have the online for madden so they can still do all the fun stuff to and kinda like cfb 26 they should add more postions for road to glory or whatever it’s called in madden 26.Transparency of Madden Ratings Needed
I want to be positive, but these ratings really lack transparency and seriously are more based on getting people to talk about it on social media. That, or it's EXTREMELY legacy based. Take for instance Anthony Richardson. Sure he's a 72 and I can get with that, but there's data and a track record that he can throw a deep ball but struggles with short and intermediate throws. So why not give him a better deep ball rating and turn down his short and intermediate accuracy? Another call out is Jesse Bates. If you watch Falcons film last year, he's far from a 95 rating. With all the real-time data and 10 years of data they're mining for things, you'd think they'd incorporate more of that into player ratings. My only other gripe is that I feel there's wayyyyyyy too many 80+ rated players and that the rookie ratings really need to be scaled down a bit and leave room for progression. I'm eager to see if franchise is still broken where after the first year there's a laundry list of NFL players with 3+ years experience sitting in the free agency pool because the CPU logic doesn't think to sign them anymore. I feel like NBA 2k, at least in years past, really got the ratings dialed to where superstars felt so different than other role players and backups. Surely, there needs to be a progression where you can build a 68 rated guy into a superstar if your progression calls for it, but I feel the game would play so much better if they scaled some ratings down so it really felt monumental when you hit on a killer draft pick or got that 80+ rated player or 90+ rated player to sign with you in free agency. In the end, I do get these ratings are a marketing ploy for Madden to get people to talk about them, but it's really puzzling to see guys like Matthew Golden, who ran sub 4.3 at the combine, get 91 speed. If anything, he has more straight line speed than killer burst, so why not give him 95 speed with 93 acceleration?! Just would love more transparency in their rating decisions.
Madden 25 weekly ratings updates wiped?
All of the Madden 25 weekly ratings updates at https://www.ea.com/games/madden-nfl/ratings are gone in favor of a pre-release version of the Madden 26 ones. This must've happened within the past few days, because I was using them exactly 4 days ago. All of the old weekly update URLs (whether it's by player or by week) just redirect to the new main page. Is there an archive of the Madden 25 weekly ratings or something? Or are they gone for good for basically no reason besides promoting the new gameMadden 2026
Not sure if there is a forum for 2026 yet? So, I posted here. I see an early download which I did only to find out you can't actually play for another week. Really lol why offer early if you can't play game? I get they probably want to reduce strain on download servers and internet connections.Does EA Play PRO get to Full-Game Early-Access or a 10-Hour Trial on AUG 7th?
Does anyone know if EA Play PRO members ($16.99 / Month) get full-game early-access on Aug 7th or do we get the 10-hour trial and have to wait till the 14th for full-access? I saw that EA play Standard members ($5.99 / Month) ONLY get the 10-hour Trial on the 7th and that's it for them - but for EA Play PRO members EA didn't make it clear if we get the 10 hour trial or if we get the full-game version off the rip on the 7th. It's my first time getting a Pro membership but I want EA to confirm before i waste $16.99 on a monthly subscription and end up with only the 10-hour trial of "early access" and miss 7 days of Madden-play with my membership.
Deluxe Edition - Pre-Order no longer showing as ‘owned on Xbox’
Since EA updated the early release date to the 7th (not 11th) the Xbox store now no longer shows the game as ‘owned’… (I bought it in June) Getting flashbacks to the licence issues with the MVP bundle last year…. EA are blaming Xbox and Xbox are blaming EA. Does anyone else have the same issue and is anyone else concerned?co op game modes?
Hey everyone, am I able to play 2v2 or even a 4 vs ai yet online? I'd like to just pick normal teams with their normal rosters and be able to play with my friends online either in a 2v2 or 4 vs ai format. We haven't bought a madden since madden 20 due to this not being an option. So, the question is, is this something that's going to be available with madden 26? Thanks!“Madden Needs Co-Op Seasons Mode — Just Like FIFA (With Playoffs!)”
Ever since FIFA introduced its online "Seasons" mode, it’s been a fan favorite — promotion and relegation across divisions, a clear 10-game format, and the thrill of trying to reach the top tier. Now imagine bringing that same structure into Madden… and finishing your season with a Super Bowl win similar to NCAA road to CFP ending in a National Championship.... This would be insane. Even better, FIFA added Co-Op Seasons, where you and a friend team up for a 10-game run — facing promotion or relegation as a duo. If Madden introduced a 2v2 or even 3v3 co-op Seasons mode, it would completely elevate the online experience. Regular online team play is solid, but this would add real structure, goals, and replay ability. Anyone else dreaming of this? Would you play a Co-Op Seasons mode in Madden? What would your ideal setup look like? P.S. I’ve been playing Madden religiously for over 20 years, and I can confidently say that 3v3 mode and the Road to CFP online National Championship race has been some of the best times I’ve ever had. Kudos to the EA team for finding innovative new ways to make fans happy — we just need this streamlined a little bit.PLEASE STOP RESETTING H2H RECORDS
I fear I may be too late. But I speak on behalf of every madden h2h player in the world. No one wants their record reset every month. This is the single worst decision in the history of Madden since the QB vision cone (shoutout Donavan Mcnabb) I am convinced this was some sort of mistake in 25' because surely EA could not be this out of touch with there own community or just reality as a whole. If I was a conspiracy theorist (I 100% am) I would think this is a diabolical way of getting h2h people to switch to MUT. Why else would MUT records never reset but online H2H does? For a second, put Madden aside for this thought exercise. Imagine if every time you played a game, regardless of your progression or achievements, your progress was reset in 30 days back to zero. If you are thinking to yourself 'that wouldn't make any sense' , welcome to the hell Madden h2h players have faced these last 365 days. We dont ask EA for anything. But just this once, think about all your fans, not just the ones that play MUT.Huge Issue With Cornerbacks in Franchise.
Cornerbacks, listed as “CB1” on the depth chart, line up on the right side of the field, meaning that AI superstar corners like Sauce Gardner and Patrick Surtain are covering the user’s number 2 WR. This makes the game really easy with your number 1 WR getting easy looks all game on the AI’s CB2, and is really a quiet and unrealistic thing that breaks immersion and makes the game less enjoyable. Please fix this or at least let the community know you are aware of the problem. It’s such a small issue that has a huge negative impact on gameplay.Gameplay Suggestion
Hey EA I just have one ask for the game coming up in August. Can you pls bring back the different type of aggressive and possession catch animations that game look realistic with like new cb/wr physics. I suggest to use what you guys have on madden old gen with wr/db physics as the animations for recievers on old gen madden look amazing and realistic and I am really hoping you guys could bring that to new gen please. As u realised this was missing in college football 26 and I think this could be big step and make madden levels better than college football 26 as It brings those star recievers like JJ and jamar chase to life so we can virtually replicate what they do in real life. And if you're not able implement this at launch pls do in an update for madden and hopefully college football 26 as well
