Recent February update for Madden 26 — fixed… nothing.
What it did do was make the menus lag a LOT. Issues that are still unresolved: Jersey swaps after halftime are still broken. Older helmets are missing logos (example: the 2000s Carolina Panthers helmet). These are just a couple of problems that have existed since release. EA, if you’re going to release a game that millions of people pay full price for, the core game should already be finished. Updates should be for rosters, ratings, tuning, and play-calling — not fixing basic presentation and stability issues months later.
Play Now Live not working
Play Now Live on Madden 23 has not been working since at least september 2025 for everyone on every platform, the only thing that happens when you try to use it is an error message saying that the servers are experiencing a high amount of traffic and that it can't process any requests, can you guys please fix Play Now Live before you shut down the online servers on the 13th of july 2026?

We are living in a new generation of football! Can we please catch up to College Football and have the option to make the pants shorter and add the double leg sleeves and socks that we see these NFL players wear every game!? Let’s bring the hanging mouth piece, let’s bring the customized sneaker cleats, new accessories, open world story mode like 2K MyCareer. EA is so far behind, let’s make it happen in Madden 27!Filters for redundant same team play
I have played Madden ever since the first Madden has came out and I still enjoy the game. There is a redundancy of alot of player using the Eagles, KC, Baltimore and Buffalo which are great teams but I do not want to play these same teams all the time, I have experienced this redundancy for years now and it make me not want to play as much because I can barely play any other teams but those I have mentioned. There should be a filter or frequency setting as to what teams I would like to play against or teams I do not want to play as much. The Madden developers have always found a way to raise the bar and make Madden enjoyable and I honestly do not know how they can top what they have done with M26 but developers always find a way to make it better. Thank youThe most fun is the online franchise mode with 32 players.
I am Japanese and have been playing Madden for nearly 20 years. I made my online debut in Madden 20 and have experienced both H2H and MUT. However, in MUT, inflation started accelerating around November, making it boring due to a lack of strategy, and in H2H, using certain play tactics drastically increases your win rate, which also makes it boring. So we recruited some Japanese volunteers and held an online franchise mode with 24 to 32 people, and we were able to enjoy playing very much by analyzing each other's playing habits. I want a system that makes it easier to recruit people to join the online franchise mode. Something like the official Discord, for example. Personally, as a Japanese person, I would like a game feature that lets me find other Japanese players, but setting that aside, I want an in-game tool to find people who are interested in the online franchise mode.Idea for Future Madden: Play Historic NFL Moments With Real Rosters
I’ve been playing Madden for years and I love the series, but I think it’s missing something that could really separate it from past titles and other sports games. A mode called Madden NFL Moments, where players can relive and rewrite iconic NFL moments using real rosters and real situations. for examples, you could relive Titans vs Rams – 1 yard short in Super Bowl XXXIV, Falcons trying to hold a 28–3 lead, Patriots vs Seahawks at the goal line, or the Mile High Miracle (Flacco to Jacoby Jones) Instead of just cutscenes, players would actually play the moment from different perspectives (QB, WR, DB), with high-pressure gameplay instead of quick win/lose challenges. To make it even more immersive, failed moments wouldn’t instantly restart. Instead, the game could treat it like the player is “misremembering” the play — a flag or rewind would happen with dialogue like “Wait… that’s not how it went,” and the moment would reset naturally with an overturned play rather than breaking immersion. This would celebrate NFL history, add replayability, and give Madden a mode built around football moments rather than only seasons or Ultimate Team. I think a mode like this could be something truly special for the series and something fans of all types would enjoy.Fix franchise for 27
am the biggest Madden Franchise Dynasty mode fan ever. And I have been very disappointed in the lack of in depth focus off the madden franchise focus on dynasty, I miss the days of having all the authenticity of all the real coaches, off/def coordinators and special teams coaches. I think it has taken away a lot of the realism. It would be nice if you could create HC, OC, DC, ST coaches like how NBA 2K allows you to since you have limited control and realism over the made up coaches on madden now. It would be nice to be able to edit the coaching pool that you current have, such as name, looks, type of offense/defense philosophy’s and a position focus as well. i would love to see a new coaching system on madden where you can have HC, OC, OC and ST but also have position coaching who have speciality traits. So for instance if you get a HC who wants to have DC who specializes in a 3-4, he can find a DC which specializes in a 3-4 but then he can find a DL coach, LB coach that specializes in 3-4 schemes. And if you want more man coverage you can find a CB/S coach that specializes in that as well and then when you add players who fit your scheme their specialties enhance your players rating and the defenses overall chemistry . Players who don’t fit the teams overall scheme may struggle or your team chemistry on the field mighr reflect that. Players who have multiple scheme fits then become more attractive bc if you get a DC who runs multiple defenses the player is more valuable bc of multiple scheme fit. Same for offense .you should be able to have an OC, OL coach, WR TE coach, RB and OL coach, and based on the HC offensive scheme, if the OC mirrors it should affect the team chemistry. If position coaches mirror the OC type of offense or style of play, it increases team chemistry and gives the players a boost in certain attributes. they should give HC an ability to have a different structure. Traditionally OC, DC and ST or pass game coordinators/ run game coordinators and same on defense. Signing all coaches for multiple years would be good as well. If someone wants to steal your coach for a head coach position it should allowed but if you or a cpu controlled team wants to sign your coach to a lateral position you should be able to decline or accept. Trading for HC should be an option as well. They should also let you have to the ability to resign players not on contract years -vs just on their contract year. They should give you the ability to resign throughout the entire season or offseason. It would be nice to go back to signing free agents in the preseason to more than just one year. That’s not realistic- a lot of players sign for multiple year deals. Coaches and player should be asked to ask for contracts before if they have outplayed their deals or coaches should be able to offer a deal before their have a contract year. Madden has gotten very lazy in franchise mode and the realness has reduced every year and since there are no other games to compete it’s like EA /Maddeb don’t care but these are things that could really make Madden franchise mode fun again,Madden 26 - Our servers cannot process Issue
EA what's the problem?! Yesterday, today, every other week your servers can't process simple requests like playing any of the challenges. But there's never been a server issue with processing a payment from my account. What are you going to do to fix this?
