EA Should Give The players Gaining more control on the field on offense and defense animations should be gone it should all be up to the player animations on how a player will run catch tackle or throw the ball ETC should not be in the game in create a player the user should have more options when it cames to edit players like their age their birthday stuff like that Jersey numbers should be more options as well like if you have matthew golden you should have the double 0 or just one 0 create a playbook should have more options and the user should be abel to make thier own Custom Creative plays franchise mode you should be abel to pick Multiple or two Archetypes Like if you want A Dual Threat QB you can pick both Strong Arm and Scrambler together insted of manual editing the ratings to try to combine the two Archetypes franchise mode should also have a full half time show like how they have it on TV and the madden commentators should be like on Tv and have Multiple commentators like for example NBC Sunday Night Football Cris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico play by play and analyst. ESPN Monday Night Football Troy Aikman and Joe Buck play by play analyst. NFL on CBS Jim Nantz and Tony Romo play by play analyst. NFL on FOX Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady play by play analyst ETC. and the commentators should say all the players names new ones and custom ones as well it should all be about the player and what the player wants to do like if they want to build custom playbooks they should have the right to do so if they want to build stadiums they should have the right to do so if they want to build custom uniforms they should have the right to do so EA will never understand this they are just out for a quick paycheck and put little to no effort in their games like they dont give a **bleep** and its Honestly sad that we never got a good madden game they used to be good like madden 12 13 and madden 15 was all good Not perfect but still fun to play it seems like the newer maddens like 23 and so on heavy Rely on spot drop coverage which it should always be match by default and never spot drop coverage because all it does is have your secondary just stand there and wont move and So what was EA Thinking i think we need to take a page out of donald trump playbook and say instead of make Make America Great Again we should say Make Madden Great Again all players should look like how they do in real life with their looks all the way to their hair weight the score boards should look like how they do on TV the crowd should be loud and chanting thier teams chants like the packers Go Pack Go or Jets Go Jets or boo because thier team is losing Etc the weather should look like how it does on TV if its snowing there should be snow Etc players like Linemen should only block people in front of them and not run past guys on run plays on the screen menu there should be videos of different players and showing different moments old and new players should have full control of players on offense and defense and not Rely on animations and i think it sucks that EA and 2K is only focus on new gen and not old gen which a lot of people i know still play ps4 like myself my brother my cousin and other people so why does old gen get put on the back burner also i think EA Should add the Ray Lewis Slide And dancing also add a full half time show show the players walking to the field after and before the game at half time show the camera inside both team locker rooms to hear what the coaches have to say about the game i think Ea should also add WR ability or x factor called randy moss you got mossed to where the player plays and acts like Randy Moss Micah Parsons should have one called unblockable to match his real playing style Clay Matthews should get one call The Claymaker to where you play move and act like Clay Matthews The dez bryant throw up the x should be in the game as a touchdown signature or celebration Richard Sherman should get a ability or x factor called either One Man Army or on an island means a player is left entirely alone in one on one coverage with no help from teammates the guy was a number one CB for a reason he locked everything down in man or zone the Odell Beckham Jr iconic one handed catch should be a WR ability or x factor for KR/PR should have a ability or x factor Devin Hester who was the best KR/PR that ever done it and also should also add cheerleaders for Every team show the crowds on the big screen to see what their reactions are Aaron Rodgers is the hail mary king why not give him that ability or x factor #FixMadden Cmon EA if old Gen players are not getting anything new then EA should Re Make or remasteredMadden 23 and use this ideasLet 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.
Madden NFL 23 play now
With the servers going down in 2 weeks, im curious whether the play now feature will be fixed in time for the already in progress achievement. This is a very simple achievement if we are able to select one "live game" to continue from.. And please stop killing games with unobtainable achievements. Id play more EA games if achievements were guaranteed not to be unobtainable before servers go down, but at this point Ive had it and boycotting any further EA games until that guarantee is met.
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.

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
