How to import draft class to Madden 25 franchise mode

I’m having trouble when I click choose draft class(on franchise mode) and it won’t let me use the draft class I downloaded from the download center. My only options are “keep auto-generated rookies” or “import local file” when I select import local file it says “no files” but I did download a file.

    Hello Manager,

    maybe you can talk to the “team” and create a patch for the people who spent $70 for CFB25 just for Dynasty to Madden 25 franchise? I mean let the CPU register that 5 years has passed in CFB and then after that years 6-30 can play all the way to load up on their imports?

    Another idea, maybe in Dynasty maybe there can be two ways to play, start at year 1 and play through 30 with players likeness, or start a Dynasty with random player generator so NO name or likeness is used and we can export to Madden. That would seem like the easiest fix since we already get that in Madden if we don’t download a shared file. 

    Thank you for your time!

    PS….. My EA account was so old that my old email is still attached to my games and since you added a code I can’t remove that old account off of my EA games because I cannot get the codes, please help me fix it so I can switch to my new email for which I am writing this comment on. Thank you very kindly!


    An advisor will need to assist with this. Please follow the instructions here for opening a case. Thank you.

  • that link doesnt lead to a case creation app. please post a valid link so that we can raise a case.

    better idea: why dont you cull all of the info that has been requested from admin and posted by users on this thread, and subit a case? this crowdsource BS is a bad look. cant be asking paying customers to do your legwork, especially for a broken game that i CANT PLAY right now

  • If this issue isn’t fixed in the near future or if they do t change the format of how it all works I may not ever buy another madden again. Franchise is the main reason I play the game and if I can’t easily download rookie classes, then it’s absolutely worthless. I paid $70 for this game and I’m being forced to WAIT now because their almost $100 product wasn’t ready. Now my franchise is hauled in my second year. This is extremely unprofessional and has already killed my experience, further supporting the reason I only buy a Madden game once every 2-3 years. It may not be ever again. 

  • @EA_Kent The title update yesterday did fix the issue of not being able to download a draft class from within franchise, but did not fix the bigger issue of the download center itself being broken. Only about 2/10 draft classes seem to actually download and show up in my files under "load/delete file" tab. I hope this is still being looked into and isn't considered "fixed" with this latest title update.

    There isn’t going to be any way to un-corrupt the earlier files. For me, search function now works and the top class creators from recent years like SGR and Jackmove916 have full draft classes uploaded which download and import properly. Jackmove has classes out to 2032 with real prospects.

    @t_alexandre9 I'm glad it's working for you man, what console? I'm on PS5 and none of Jackmove's classes will actually download for me. Just checked again about 20 minutes ago.

    @Isacksirlot That’s weird man, sorry you’re still having issues! I’m on PS5. I booted up this morning, went into my existing Franchise and first downloaded SGR because I saw it at the end of the top classes. Then I realized search was working and I searched jackmove and all of his not only loaded right into my franchise, but properly saved locally. Note that I did all of this from within franchise rather than from creation center. Also, custom uniform editing works for me now, whereas it didn’t before.

    I’d say keep trying the search and downloading only the classes that have low download numbers. I hope it starts to work for you!

    Jackmove has been trying to upload classes since early access, so it’s probably that he has some copies that are corrupt, but all the latest ones work for me.
