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?Defense 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 yesterdayNew 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.Fix 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.
EA baseless bans are the worst
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.
I 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?How to NOT build a game
I dont even know where to begin with Madden, year after year, failing to deliver the most basic of game physics. In the clip, the football bounces off the hands of 4 defenders before eventually falling to the ground. Its bad enough we have to deal with desyncs regularly, but this type of bafoonery is baffling.Feature Ideas for Madden 27
So for every year, Madden has been my go to game. I play it a lot with friends, and it is a challenging fun experience. But when it comes to adding new features for next year, I have something I have wanted in the game for a long time. My idea comes from the section where you create a player in the "Players and Uniforms file." Adding to that, when you select a face, even on Superstar mode, there is only so many faces and it is uncommon to have an alike face close enough. It is not that EA should add more faces, but they should add a feature like NBA 2K has, where if you download the App on mobile or Google Play you can add a face scan. But it is not the face scan I am looking forward to, I hope to see EA add a feature where you can take a picture of your face and download it on the game. Then after that, when you click manage players and look at the rosters, you should be able to scroll until you find the "Create A Player" in the Roster Section and you should see your face. It would definitely give a better realistic vibe, and it would be perfect for Superstar mode even. It is totally fine if you add this Idea to the next Madden, and it starts out unrealistic, but even then. That would be a major update. lastly, try adding it to be available on console too. Thank you, Madden FanWhy can't we see blocking assignments on running plays?
When you press L1/LB during a passing play, it shows you exactly how your O-line will be blocking the defense, and make adjustments (half/full-slide). This is extremely useful because it also highlights unblocked defenders that can blitz in and create pressure. Why is this view not available for running plays? O-line blocking assignments are just as important, if not moreso, on running plays to gauge gaps and identify blitzes that will blow the play up. What's more, is that this option is available within College Football, so I'm curious if this was intentionally omitted, or if it's a glitch.
Why can't we just get a functional game?
I highly doubt anyone will ever actually read this, but my therapist said that keeping my frustrations bottled up can lead to a plethora of other health problems, so it's important to air your grievances...even if it's in an empty chat room. Any-who... Now I'm no financial expert, or software developer, or anything even remotely related, but what I AM, is a long time gamer, who isn't difficult to please. Which is why I can't understand why myself, and the Madden community as a whole, is annually given this digital disappointment? Okay, perhaps I'm being too harsh. While I COMPLETELY understand that at the end of the day you guys are a business, who's exists for no other reason, but to make money for the investors, and the only question plaguing investors isn't "are we producing a quality product?" or "Are the customers happy and/or satisfied?". It's "Did they buy it?" and if the answer is "yes", then who cares about the rest. And more often than not, in a free market economy, that's fine because if you're unhappy with any aspect of the product, you can cease to patronize the offending company and give your money to a company that better fits your needs, values their customers, provides a superior service, or whatever. But unfortunately, when it comes to Madden, we, the customers/gamers, are not privvy to such a luxury. I believe that I speak for MANY gamers, when I say that we feel as though we are not valued, and feel almost as though we're being taunted. I find it difficult to believe that developers and decision-makers are completely oblivious to the conundrum faced by madden players world wide. "You have an issue with our game?...Don't buy it. Go purchase it from another developer...oh. That's right...you can't". So you guys know that whether we're still dealing with the same bugs from 5 iterations ago, swear we're not buying it next year, or just **bleep** and moan in an empty forum, like I'm doing now, that next year...we'll be in line, 80 bucks in hand. Which kinda feels like "diet extortion". I honestly just wish I could get a few questions answered. I think that the entire community would appreciate some level of transparency. I PROMISE you, helping us to understand why certain things are the way they are, would do wonders for us all. For instance...a common theme with players, is that we can't understand why the same bugs make their in-game appearance, year after year? Now I'm not going to sit up here and pretend to even remotely grasp the inconceivable complexities of turning zeros and one's into the game we know today, because I don't. But from talking to, interacting with, and scrubbing forums the general consensus is clear. Players care more about a playable, working title, than they do about new features. Look...I get it, you want to make it appear as though you're giving us something fresh and new...[Spoiler Alert] It never feels fresh OR new. Like some things just feel completely counterintuitive. Like why introduce ANYTHING new, with all of the stuff that needs to be fixed? Does that make sense? But this is the basis of all of our frustrations. For instance...The addition of the Sphere of Influence. I think it's great! Awesome addition, in theory...but it's broken. And not only is it broken, but the SAME quests that haven't worked in YEARS (get 3 3rd down stops/Force a fumble on a Boom Stick/Get a goal line stop) STILL don't work! No exaggeration...I've never completed all of the quests in Superstar...EVER. Because there is ALWAYS at least 1 that's impossible to trigger in game. So now not only do I have 4 Head coaches, 3 DCs, 5 S&C coaches, and teammates from long deleted profiles, forcing my current teammates to be "inactive", making them impossible to upgrade, but I still can't complete the same quests I've been unable to complete for no less than the last FIVE iterations. So instead of the Sphere of Influence adding to, and creating a more enjoyable gaming experience, it's just added new bugs to the mix, while compounding the old, creating an overall LESS enjoyable experience. And this is what's frustrating. I would rather you give me this exact game, no other additions, just updated teams and rosters, and use the time that would've been designated for "creating a more immersive experience", for creating a playable, enjoyable game. I don't think you guys understand the gravity of one year giving your loyal fan base a game we can actually play. Anyway...I've gone on far too long. I'm actually ashamed of myself for even HAVING this much to say on the topic. Jesus...is this what my life has been reduced to? 🤦🏾♂️ "Good day, sir...I SAID GOOD DAY!!!"
