Let Us Import Draft Classes!!!
It's frankly embarrassing that this has been ignored (yet again) for Madden 27. Let us import our CFB dynasty league players into the Madden 27 draft. Make it available after 5 seasons if NIL is the blockade. There is obviously a workaround if you use even a little bit of problem solving and it will fill SUCH a massive hole to make Madden even a little more immersive, a place where it desperately lacks year after year ( and is supposedly what they claim to aim to address year after year; immersion, making our Franchises feel like OURS and REAL, some AUTHENTICITY!) The coach version of this that they described in the reveal stream felt like they were laughing at us as they continued to double bird us on this matter. Really hope someone who cares as much as I do with ability to do something sees this.
Welcome to the Game Suggestions board. LOOK HERE FIRST!
Hey, Madden Community! We're happy to have you with us here on the forums for the Madden franchise. You're likely here because you have a great suggestion for Madden NFL 23 or for a future Madden title down the road. This is a perfect place to let out whatever you have on your chest to improve the Madden franchise. Some rules and guidelines for this board: Be constructive in your posts. If something in game is frustrating you, we ask that you highlight why it makes you feel that way and provide your thoughts on how to make it better. Posts that are abusive or troll-like in nature may be removed per the AHQ Forum Rules. Use the search bar at the top to fill in key words to see if an existing post was already created. From our side, it's better to see one post with significant XP with the community adding onto it. This way we have similar thoughts in the same place which makes it easier to collect and read for the Madden team. This board acts like a "suggestion box" where the Forum Community Managers may be less active than the General Discussion and other forum boards. We recommend putting together a well thought out post and encourage all others to give it XP if it is something you'd like to see added into the game/franchise. The Forum Community Managers will be active in reading all thoughts here and ensure all posts with significant XP are vocalized to the Madden team. If you want to discuss the contents of the post among others here that is welcomed! We do encourage you to post on the other relevant game mode boards if you're looking to get a conversation going among others within the community and Madden Forum Community Managers. What is an example of a great suggestion or idea? A post that only says "you should put X in the game because it will make it better" won't likely gain as much traction compared to one that has reasons why the current design is causing obstacles for the community, a better way to go about the game design, examples of it happening in game (video footage isn't required but it always adds more value), and how it would be beneficial for the entire Madden community. We look forward to your thoughts on these forums and will do our part to relay these posts up to the Madden development team to digest for future improvements. Thank you for being a fan of the Madden franchise!Please read! Madden/College
Can we please get better hair and face selections when creating players/superstars. It’s 2026, there are more ways to be creative with hair hanging out the helmet. Dreads, Wicks, braids etc. Is there a reason why some real players have tats and my created player cannot? There were some low budget tats on last years but I’ve never seen anybody with those. The whole league is base off of hair and tats. I feel like If it’s on the field it should be in the game. I know this will be over looked but I gave it a shot. I just feel like as the consumer, we want to have the full experienceWhat we need for Madden 27
What we need from Madden 27: Franchise Mode: Import draft classes from College Football 27 to Madden This is a MUST! And will GUARANTEE huge “PRESALES!” It’s actually quite simple. I understand NFL licensing and college NIL, but if the import draft class college players are computer generated and they have no ties to NIL. After 5 season of college football “27” dynasty mode, ALL of the players on each team’s roster are computer generated. Thus no ties to NIL, thus should be eligible to import into Madden “27.” This one small but huge change is what ALL Madden franchise players want and need! To announce something like this will increase pre sale to possibly record sale. Please consider this one major change. More detailed and more realistic NFL draft After watching this past 2026 NFL draft, in franchise mode we need the draft to resemble real life draft. Please introduce a “Draftcast” during the teams draft pick. The “Draftcast” can possibly show the teams positions of need, last season record, place in division, best available, trade news. During the franchise draft we should be able to see our past draft picks during the draft. When I’m drafting players I sometimes forget which position or player I drafted in the earlier rounds. During our draft selections we should be available to see our past picks along with team needs. This will improve to the franchise mode drafting tremendously, try to make it more realize as far as information given on the screen. (Best available, team needs, draft order etc.) this can be news ticker or “crawl” shown on the bottom of the screen, just a like a real life NFL draft. Also if possible give us more detail information of each prospect, “medical history,” (type of past injuries, how many missed games during college career) “awards,” (Heisman, Doak awards etc) “accolades” (All-SEC or 2nd team Big Ten etc) Free agency during the season, we need to know the player’s career stats and injury history. In real life these are major factors when deciding to add a free agent during the regular season. In Madden 26 during the regular season if I decide to add a free agent I can’t view their career stats or injury history. This is much needed please.Madden's Identity Crisis: Simulation or Exploitation?
John Madden's original vision was simple — a teaching tool that rewarded real football knowledge. With respect to everyone who works on this game, the community feels we've drifted far from that goal. Madden has always struggled to balance two identities — a true football simulator and an accessible arcade experience. That balance is a tough one to strike, and that's understandable. But the bugs and exploits are where that struggle hurts the community most. Take the flat route as an example. If the flat is covered — man or hard flat — that play should be dead, unless the receiver eludes the defender. That's fundamental football. But the coverage logic breaks down too often, and receivers are gaining yards on routes that should be completely shut down. That needs to be addressed. A player with real football knowledge should be able to call sound defense and have the game respect it. Right now that isn't always the case, and it forces players into workarounds that have nothing to do with actual football. I check YouTube before each new release just to identify the latest exploits so I'm not caught off guard online. That shouldn't be necessary. Players should be studying football, not bugs. Real football IQ should give you an edge in this game. EA can get there. But it starts with prioritizing the game engine and the simulation experience over everything else.MADDEN 22 PS5 Broken
I understand the servers shutdown for the game. however since that server shutdown NONE of the trophies will unlock for PS5 on the game. Even single player. surely this was not the intention is there anything you guys can do to review? No one has unlocked trophies on this games in almost a month for Madden 22 PS5 Xbox series version works fine and so does the PS4…Defensive playmaker mode for madden 27
EA needs to add a Defensive Playmaker Mode to Madden — where we can build our own defensive plays, add them to our playbooks, and set them as audibles. This would give defensive-minded players a real way to counter the meta instead of being stuck reacting to the same plays every game. It would push people toward a more realistic, chess-match style of football. A couple of things I want to clarify about how this feature should work: Even though these are custom-made defensive plays, you should still have full ability to make in-game adjustments to them just like any other play. That flexibility should remain intact. As for the crazy pre-snap adjustments — those should be locked to tournament play, not running wild in standard head-to-head modes. That said, if you're playing a friend and both of you want to use custom defenses, that option should absolutely be available. However, if one player doesn't want custom-made defenses in their friend game, there should be a toggle to turn the feature off entirely. It should be a choice, not a requirement. Offense already has all the tools. It's time defense got the same respect.
Discussion
Hello EA Sports Team, I am writing to ask you to consider adding Italian language support to Madden NFL 27, including menus and subtitles. The NFL community in Italy has grown significantly in recent years thanks to international games, social media, streaming platforms, and the increasing popularity of American football across Europe. Many Italian players enjoy Madden, but the lack of Italian localization makes the game more difficult for new fans and younger players to approach. Adding Italian language support would help grow the Madden community in Italy and make the game more accessible to a wider audience. Even partial localization, such as translated menus and subtitles, would make a big difference. Many sports games today include Italian language support, and seeing Madden support it as well would show attention toward the European community and help attract even more players to the franchise. Thank you for listening to the community and for continuing to support Madden NFL. Best regardsSuggestions for Madden in general
So I want the officials replays to do a better cut scene so we don't know the answer to it. Make it more exciting. And coach replays need to give the user the option on what to challenge, I wanted to challenge a catch( it was obviously incomplete)but it challenged the spot. Put in real like graphics like the real broadcast like showing the players,stats,etc..Also cut up into the booth . Put in an option to adjust if you want the full broadcast experience or not Also fix the field goals and extra points when you are in zoomed in, you can't see the meters This latest Madden is as close to perfection as we have got,yet .
Madden 23 play now still not working xbox
This has been a known issue since before the new year and with the servers going down in July there is just a little over a month left to fix this, but yet the EA devs are silent on it just as they are on Madden 26's easiest achievements. Players are growing tired (have been as player counts are declining) of EA and the colossal screw ups when it comes to games and their achievements. Its bad enough when games launch with broken achievements but then factor in all the EA games with unobtainable achievements due to them constantly closing servers down. Its ridiculous and needs to stop. There are many game companies that switch to peer to peer servers once they feel keeping servers open isnt worth the cost and EA is a big enough company that they should be doing the same. With xbox going to an "al a carte" option of gamepass, I know for one, I will be done with EA games and dropping the EA play garbage once I finish Madden 24/25 position achievements. I wont even bother with 26 due to those 2 release day broken achievements. If you want any hope of me ever buying another EA game or paying for EA play, you'll fix the unobtainables and start showing some care and respect for your consumers by not ignoring the issues otherwise here's another wish for you to end up in the near bankruptcy pit that Ubisoft is finding themselves in for ignoring/attacking their consumers. And stop marking forums posts as resolved when the issues are not resolved just so you can ignore them..Madden 23 server issue: cannot access Face of the Franchise mode
I am experiencing a recurring connection issue when trying to access Face of the Franchise on Madden NFL 23. Every time I attempt to load the mode, I receive the following error message: “Our Servers are currently experiencing a high volume of traffic and cannot process your request to access this league at this time. Please try again later. We apologize for any inconvenience. You have been returned to the Main Menu.” This issue has persisted for several days, making the game mode completely unplayable. I have already opened support cases, but so far I have not received any response or solution. I would like to know if anyone in the community is facing the same problem and whether someone has found any workaround, solution, or official update about this issue. Since this is one of the main modes in the game, I believe many players may be affected, and any shared information would be helpful
Add "the helmet to helmet" penalty
Im just here to put out a statement, no hate needed, just wanna know the communities thoughts on this. I think it would feel more natural if EA themselves would FINALLY add the "helmet to helmet" penalty into Madden and CFB. The way I would have it work is by timing your hit sticks, timing your hit sticks nowadays is very unpredictable, if EA added a circle meter that loads up a hit stick I think it would work pretty well. For example: "Green" meaning you get the opposing team to fumble after laying them out. "Yellow" meaning you landed a weak contact hit, but you didn't force the fumble, but also caused a lil bit of wear and tear on your opponents player. "Red" meaning it would be laying a "helmet to helmet" contact on your opponents player and causing you to get the "helmet to helmet" penalty. Players who play franchise would either like it or hate it, such as for the players who play ultimate team. Again, i'm just here to say what I think would feel more realistic for both communities.
