Expansion
I really enjoy Madden Franchise, but I think one feature could dramatically improve its longevity: true NFL expansion. Instead of having to relocate an existing team, let us add new franchises. Give us an expansion city, team name, uniforms, stadium, conference/division placement, and an NFL-style expansion draft. I want to create a team in somewhere like Albuquerque, Portland, Honolulu, or San Diego without having to erase another NFL franchise to do it. Expansion would also make long-term saves much more interesting. New teams could affect scheduling, divisions, the draft, free agency, rivalries, and the overall history of the league. I'd also love a true Coach/GM spectator mode. Let us watch CPU-vs-CPU games while still controlling coaching decisions such as substitutions, personnel packages, depth charts, and play calling. Sometimes I want to actually coach my team rather than control the players. Relocation could also use more customization: additional uniforms, editable colors, logos, stadium options, and alternate combinations. Ultimately, I want Franchise to give us more control over how the NFL evolves over 10, 15, or 20 seasons. I don't want to play the exact same NFL forever. I want to build my own version of it.Franchise points problems
My franchise points from my preorder bundle aren’t restocking like it was said in the description this needs fixed or I need my money back cuz I am a MVP membership member and that’s what I paid for that your supposed to get your 200 franchise points every time you start a new franchiseTeam builder import process failed.
I am in a franchise league with 12 people and I have had 2 of them report the same issue but it is way worse for me. Every time I try and load the franchise league it says team builder import process failed I have tried repairing game files clearing app cache and the whole 9 yards to fix the issue. Can anyone direct me on how to solve this issue or is it another bug in a game that's the same every year. I am on pc using the ea app as the launcher.MOF MADDEN LEAGUE KIT - BUILT FOR MADDEN COMMISSIONERS
MOF MADDEN LEAGUE KIT - BUILT FOR MADDEN COMMISSIONERS Hey everyone, I have been running Madden Online Football (MOF) since 2003. Over the past 23 years, I have had a lot of commissioners ask me about the rules, documents, graphics, Discord setup, organization, and systems we use to keep a 32-man Madden league running season after season. I finally decided to put everything together into the MOF Madden League Kit. This is not something I threw together overnight, and this is not an AI-generated league kit. The foundation of this kit comes from more than two decades of actually running an online Madden league. These are resources, systems, templates, graphics, and ideas developed through real experience running MOF. I do use AI today as another tool to improve workflows and help commissioners accomplish more, but AI did not create the foundation of this kit. More than 23 years of running a Madden league did. WHAT IS INCLUDED: Complete Madden League Kit 100+ Commissioner Resources Rules, Policies and League Structure Discord Announcements and Organization Recruiting and Coach Management Resources Commissioner Checklists and Documents Google Docs Templates 300+ Editable Photoshop Templates 500+ Madden and NFL Logos and Assets 1000+ Fonts and Design Resources AI Prompts for Commissioners and Graphics Bonus Resources and Future Deluxe Updates Packages start at $29.99. The Deluxe Edition is $69.99 and includes the complete League Kit, Commissioner Resource Pack, Graphic Template Pack, bonus resources, and future Deluxe updates. My goal is to give other Madden commissioners a foundation that can save them a huge amount of time while still allowing them to customize everything and create their own league identity. If you are starting a new CFM, rebuilding an existing league, or are an experienced commissioner looking for additional resources, feel free to check it out. MOF Madden League Kit: mofleagues.com/leaguekit Built by a commissioner, for commissioners. Madden Online Football Established 2003 I am also happy to answer any questions about what is included or about running MOF in general.Why are we stuck in pre season?
@EAMaddenNFL Is there an issue with Franchise starting points right now? Earlier this week I could create an online Franchise and start at Regular Season Week 1. Since the 9/16 update, the only option is Preseason Week 1. Seeing other players report the same thing. Any update on when the current regular-season starting point will return?Madden 27 Contracts
I saw the patch notes today and understand they are a WIP so wanted to add this in because I feel it is essential to have for franchise players. When we re-sign players in Madden 27 it is showing me the current cap year number. Last year it would use the next seasons cap number so I could keep track of what I was spending in future years. This is a piece of information that is incredibly important for any franchise player to ensure they are not ruining their teams finances because they cant see what they are. There also use to be a spot on the salaries table at the top where it would let us know what our cap penalty was for the next year as well which has not been something we have had access to.Play now live and sim stats
Play now live is back stuck at preseason week 1 with outdated roster and sim stats are trash 19 4000 yard passers and half the league throws less that 4 ints all year like **bleep** year after year y’all spend time fixing **bleep** that should already work and sim stats are always over looked and they have been BADIssues in Franchise Mode
Playing on PS5, I keep getting an error when trying to trade saying "we don't feel we could afford to move a player at <position> right now" even when I'm trying to trade a 1 for 1, player for player at the same position or 1 for 1 draft pick for draft pick. This is happening when the trade would have otherwise been accepted, like trading 1.32 for 2.01 draft picks or a QB with a 70 rating for a QB with a rating of 60 when both have the same age and dev rate. Another issue is the when doing slow simulation during a game, and it goes into halftime, then after halftime it's no longer in sim mode. I have to redo it and got back into sim mode, select slow, and then watch the simulation. It used to just go thru the end of the game, not stop at halftime.Franchise Mode fixes needed please
We have some contract updates done lately but they aren't enough. We need to be able to initiate contract extensions with players and not just wait for them. I understand the persona DNA stuff but it is a problem nit being able to initiate. My son had traded everything in our franchise to get jaxson dart. Thats his favorite qb, he lost him and all of those draft picks because he never initiated a contract negotiations. That is a problem for me. In the real nfl teams have the option of initiating contract talks and the player can deny if they chose. Also only having 5 options for each player when doing the negotiations is also a problem. If we are to have real full control all options should be available. Maybe through a drop down menu or something. If the players dont like what we chose they can deny. But I have had times where the only options was more money. I couldn't even cut off negotiations. I could go on forever but the last thing I'll bring up is the team builder teams being called Chicago during games. I know they cant say team names or cities. I get that but both the commentary and stadium announcers calling the team Chicago is horrible. Especially when you consider this was a problem last year also. And if its fixed we shouldn't have to start a new franchise to get it fixed. I was 10 seasons in last year. Thats ridiculous. Please respond and take these suggestions seriously. Thank youMissing Rookie players
I normally dont ask this but do players get added with time? Specifically undrafted free agents that were on teams but were cut or kept by teams. Such as, Kyron drones QB Dae'Quan Wright TE Vinny Anthony ll WR Shiyazh Pete OL Chris hilton Jr WR again im just wonedering if these player will be added to franchise mode or how that works. Appreciate any insight.Suggestion
First of all, I think Madden 27 is a great game. It’s so close but one of the things for me in Franchise mode is the player regression. There needs to be a performance based regression system in addition to the age based regression. Players go up but they don’t come down until they turn a certain age, and even then they don’t regress very fast. There is a temporary performance based regression in the game already, I think if you just make that permanent then it would work better. What I’m talking about is during the season, when a player is performing well or on a great team, there’s a boost to their ratings. However, if the situations are opposite, they get a red - next to the attributes that have declined. At the end of the season, those negative numbers reset. More times than not, the boost numbers won’t completely reset because there will be a progression upgrade based on season goals. Instead of the decline in numbers resetting, why don’t they apply permanently? That would make more sense. Justin Jefferson was a 99 once. Just once. Obviously EA realizes players will decline season to season based on performance. However, if that 99 OVR Justin Jefferson continued in a franchise during that season, he would still be a 99 today. Multiple years later and multiple game versions later. im ranting now but I think you get the point. There really needs to be a way a player declines other than age because year 3 or 4 of a franchise has like 12-15 99 OVR players and many more 95+
Penalties in Franchise
I feel like the penalties in franchise happen more to the user than the cpu. I can run 25 yards back and down to the right with my QB and I will get intentional grounding, but the cpu will do the same thing, but just drop back 5 yard straight back, still in the box and get no flag for intentional grounding. I have also noticed that they hardly get roughing the passer and I got smacked maybe 5 minutes ago by an edge rusher probably 3 seconds after the ball was long gone. Holding calls I have seen not happening much on either the human or cpu, its pretty bad as well. Also, even with the speed threshold set properly, 82 speed linebackers are keeping up with my 95 speed receiver, we just need to do better. I like the game regardless, but the penalties and the lack of players out speeding low speed opponents is just annoying.
