Offline Franchise Mode
I had not played Madden 25 for about a month. I launched the game, and seen in the upper right of the screen IN GAME ON, and then, IN GAME OFF. Then a screen I could not get out of came on with options, and all of them was pay options. My attempt at changing that screen was zero. And my franchise was nowhere to be found! So, all I want to know is: Will Madden 26 have offline Franchise Mode, or do we all have to buy the game for $70.00 and then pay more money just to play the game? I traded Madden 25 in to Game Stop already, so I am sorry I could not be more specific in describing the screen I saw, but the bottom line to it all was: My franchise was gone pecan. This happened on the XBOX X.songwriter513 days agoSeasoned Novice25Views0likes0Comments- Laneoliverrr3 days agoNewcomer12Views0likes0Comments

Hello, When i try to enter my online franchise in madden 25, a message pops on the screen saying "something went wrong". I cannot create a new franchise either, nor search for a franchise mode. I have uninstalled the game and re installed it, i have reset my router and i am connected with an ethernet cable as well. Is there any way to fix this issue? Please and thank you17Views0likes0CommentsCombine 1.5 challenges not showing
I believe the nfl combine challenge 1-5 should be out but I only see “Combine film room.” But it shows more stars outstanding like there should be another set of challenges. I’ve been waiting for a few days but still. nothing.12mwade127 days agoRising Newcomer9Views0likes0CommentsBug: Playlimit and Play Cooldown
Hey guys and gals! We were so excited when play limits and cooldowns were added so we could keep gameplay fresh in our 32 user leagues. But, we’ve noticed a rather annoying bug in it. if you call a play and audible to a new play when on the field, that new play will not count towards the play limit OR the Cooldown. This means that you can run the same play over and over as long as you audible to it. It defeats the purpose and is impossible to police in the leagues. Thank you!Hitstickmasta28 days agoNewcomer14Views0likes0CommentsMUT lvl 50 impossible
How is it that Ive grinded this game all season and completed every single challenge for XP, and yet I come to find out lvl 50 is impossible to reach with 1 day left in the season? The amount of technical issues and trash game product from EA already pushed me away from CFB, looks like madden is the same pile of garbage. Its so obvious EA doesnt care about its customers or the quality of product they put out.WildcatLyric14020 days agoSeasoned Newcomer35Views0likes0CommentsMadden NFL 26 recommendation
Adding a Fantasy auction draft element could make building your roster far more fun and exciting. Start with a "salary cap" for each franchise and then bid as players are put up on the board. Say $300M to start to flesh out your entire roster. It would take time as 32 x 53 will be a grind, so, suggest save points or the ability to save at any time. Being in auction style fantasy leagues has added a level of strategic thought.Sp33dBump24 days agoRising Newcomer30Views0likes0CommentsCan’t use Switch Stick on PS5
Hi. I’m really new to Madden. I went into practice mode and tried using the Switch Stick. I tried both flicking the Right Stick in multiple directions and also tried the D Pad. Nothing is working. The only way I can switch players is with the O button. Please Help !Manofsteal197431 days agoRising Newcomer40Views0likes0CommentsFranchise mode Abilities
In Franchise mode we are having trouble with players that had an ability baked onto them being CMC had backfield master and the user switch the ability thinking he could put it back on. Now backfield master has disappeared and is no longer able to be selected. Is there a workaround to fix this or is this ability gone forever ? Thank you.52Views0likes0CommentsGlitch
Why is it my players are automatically trucking? It's like I have no control of the players. I can't audible, can't see the plays pre play, can't adjust the d line, or move secondary to play man press, etc. It's there something wrong with the game?dgreen0392 months agoNewcomer47Views0likes0CommentsMadden 26 what can top the “hit stick”
I recently watched the Madden documentary “It’s in the game” it gave us a true and full Madden history. I enjoyed it very much it reminded me and my father the good times of the early to mid 2000s where gaming peaked as far as the EA title “Madden” is concerned. And it made me wonder why is that well it’s simple you see. Madden is now in a forever evolving state to a tree they cannot climb. If production in this mindset and state continues. This EA title will inevitably fall. During the documentary they claimed they want the best for the fans and the gaming community but they go unrecognized to the average gamer and they fail to impress or satisfy previous players. Well as a player I can say a couple reason why they are tanking and give personal feedback for improvement.I noticed EA sometimes checks the forums for bugs and such and I hope this can be one. during “It’s in the game” they began to obsess on the glory days and experience heavy “Deja Vu” well why isn’t Madden installed on every system anymore and why don’t people talk about it as opposed to other sports game titles like 2K or FIFA. It’s very very simple. I call it a “Lack of Evolution” if I go back and play “Madden 16” when they added user catch I feel as if I am playing a very similar game with heightened graphics and a few screen tweaks. That was almost 10 frickin years ago. Obviously there are small differences between games but nothing that sticks really. EA has expressed they want to shatter the charts and be in every gamers library. I want to relive the glory days as well so here’s how you become hall of fame nfl once more. ”Madden NFL 26” in the game is the title. Saquon Barkley backwards juke is the cover and here’s what I feel should happen. When I load up my console or PC I want to feel immersed as I am in a world named Madden not sitting in a chair playing a game looking at a screen. Well let’s see what other titles do or have done to make people stay interested. It’s simple creativity. When “Grand theft auto” went to Los santos customs and changed from paint and spray people still make new stuff. when 2K implemented the park and MyCourt that altered the game forever. Madden is a very simple game it’s a 1 dimensional experience compared to what is used to be. So they need creativity to adjust “Lack of Evolution”. For Madden 26 allow the players to see new and old things like fans in the end zone with signs, pregame tailgating and a pregame, halftime, post game and sideline reports with all the reporters they can get. Imagine a player intro screen, a sideline report with star players and coaches during a match. They can easily differentiate it from a quick play H2H match with their current layout. They can call it NFL Sunday. NFL Sunday can have all the features that make you feel like you are really on the field making the calls. When there’s a penalty flag called I wanna see refs standing talking about the penalty not a blank and boring stadium. When it’s 3rd and inches I wanna see the sticks moved and the ball on the hash. And dang it it’s boring and simple just get to the game right. But it’s a much deeper connection then that. Now thats just general game play. I say go more. When my corner gets an interception or my defensive line gets a sack or when I get a first down. I see what appears to be chatter but I feel like patchy the pirate. “ I CAN’T HEEAR YOOU” and I mean I would love to win and see someone go down on the field and interview the most impactful player of the game. I mean imagine being able to randomly play the Super Bowl against someone and you have to watch the parade and see the players on the field Mic’d up. Which leads me back to patchy the pirate. I mean these are all great features in NFL football now so why are they not in the game about it. Let me run a few more scenarios and scratch your brain with my ideology. new things as a player existing or old I would love for them to not only add new match play features but even rosters. imagine if you had not only current but historical teams like 2K. And even conference squads imagine if you can go online and off and engage in Conference battle. A full roster of thee best players NFC and AFC with the option of a default depth chart or a custom one adjusted and made and saved to you pregame. High scoring, high fun, high competition. It’s a video game so might as well make it a top game. I wanna see madden news where every week we get information on new things as far as in game captures and weekly event info. Give me a premade highlights of the week, put the number one ranked players on a list in a main screen for the week. It’s a lot but a season hall of fame would be a cool thing to give a goal for player. Imagine if we had a play of the week, comeback of the week or most improved. Obviously this is a lot of things but why are there so many things missing I mean these are all simple improvements that can cause a major impact. And I have more. Imagine playing Madden and everything is “In the Game”. Everything can be customized, we get ads and more. Bring the game back to reality and to a fictional place. as far as marketing is concerned I believe we need more madden advertisement. I would love to see another NFL 100 Super Bowl ad for Madden featuring a John Madden cameo that would be amazing. I know people that quit because they got so bored of the game. I want a madden coach headset I can buy in a special edition I wanna see this game peak once more. I just put a lot into this forum article but I didn’t know where to put it so hopefully the right folks get this and we see improvement. Email me or Xbox message me @Chiefq33f420 if you agree. I hope this is implemented and understood and atleast taken into consideration. This forum article has been written and authorized by Jeff H.

All sorts of OT glitches...
So in 2 different modes I've now had overtime games that haven't ended after I scored a TD... TOTW and AKA challenges... Do we not understand how overtime works in the NFL when making a NFL game directly affiliated with the NFL?rt00ifnpj13o2 months agoSeasoned Novice24Views0likes0CommentsMadden 22 Disconnecting Everytime I Try To Play SuperStar KO Or Check Objectives
I am creating a duplicate topic per request from EA support as my first one was reported as spam and is not showing up under the forums when I search for it. I am experiencing issues with Madden 22 where I am logged out of the EA Servers anytime I try and access a particular game mode (SuperStar KO) or check a particular game feature (checking my objectives). I have tried uninstalling, different computers, nothing is working. My friend isn't having the same problem. It seems unique to my account. I can also confirm that the rest of the game works as intended, it's only when I try to play SuperStar KO mode or check my objectives. I am able to play the rest of the game. I play MUT and Franchise every day. I just can't play SuperStar KO or check my objectives. It's like the server or game client is being overloaded or something. This is happening 100% of the time, so I just can't play SuperStar KO or check my objectives.61Views0likes0CommentsMadden 22 Disconnecting Everytime I Try To Play SuperStar KO Or Check Objectives
