How can I get updated rosters after server shutdown?
Not to long ago I got Madden 20 since it is the last time the Washington Redskins were in a game and wanted to take them to many Super Bowls. Only problem is that the servers are shut down which is fine but there is a player on the team who is on injured reserve and can't remove them from the default rosters so am wondering is there another way I can still find the final updated roster for 20 or is there some way to either release or trade the player. Only way I can think of is by starting a franchise to edit the roster but I also like to edit the default roster when I just want to play a quick game.
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!Madden 26 Franchise
I've been playing Madden football for almost 20 years mostly franchise. The game has really come a long way! The most frustrating part for me is the salary cap! I try to keep the game as real as possible running my franchise. I would like to see two changes to the salary cap. One as I sign and resign players there would be a way tp show me future cap space and the impacts of my signings. We can see this years impact but I would love to see the next three years displayed as well. Two other teams going over the cap each year!!!!! This issue is so bad, The game keeps users in check but AI teams can be way over the cap with no issues! AI teams should have to deal with this by cutting players or extending contracts each season. Short of logging in and fixing each team over the cap I just let it play out. Emagine if NFL teams let other teams fix their salary cap problems.. This should be an easy fix by not letting teams go over the cap or forcing the user to easily fix other teams issues before starting a new season.
Madden needs to add an Eras Franchise Mode like NBA 2K
The best way Madden could bring franchise mode back to life is by copying NBA 2K’s MyNBA Eras feature. Let players choose a specific era to start their franchise — like the 1980s, 1990s, early 2000s, 2010s, or current day — and make everything match that time period. That means period-specific rules, broadcast presentation, uniforms, gameplay style, team logos, and even how the game is called. Imagine starting in the early 2000s and trying to build around young Tom Brady or Mike Vick, then watching the league evolve over time with real historical draft classes. Each era could reflect how the game was really played. Different pass interference rules. No challenges in the 90s. The old overtime rules. Stadiums and uniforms that no longer exist. Team names like the Oilers and Redskins. It could even adjust the types of playcalling that were dominant in that period. 2K nailed this and it completely revitalized their franchise mode. It made it feel immersive and gave players something new to dive into. Madden could easily do the same, and fans of simulation and offline franchise would finally get some attention again. I get that EA focuses on Ultimate Team for the money, but even from a business perspective, this could open the door to new cosmetics, historic team packs, and special edition bundles. It’s a great move all around — for nostalgia, for gameplay variety, and for giving franchise mode some real depth. If EA added this, would you actually come back to franchise? I definitely would.
Suggestions for Madden 26
So I'm an old school Madden player and I just have three suggestions that I'm hoping y'all could bring back or install for the upcoming game. 1. The return of the classic/historic rosters to the game, I'd would love to pit the '09 Saints against the 2000 Rams or the 2019 Patriots! 2. The ability to select & play other games from the schedule screen in Franchise mode, instead of going through the process of selecting another team. 3. The ability to switch from player mode to CPU/spectate mode & the return of saving your game in all modes. Hopefully y'all can install a couple of em if not all!How to report a bug in Madden NFL 23
