There are things that I would like to see changed in current coding for Madden 26 as it just gets very frustrating sometimes. I don’t speak for anyone else but if you can please tone some things down in franchise mode.
1. When playing on all madden the Defensive linemen get a crazy boost of speed and can run with or run down QBs and RBs when the speed levels are more then a 20 point difference.
2. Height doesn’t mean a thing in the game as small DBs can deal easily with tall WRs
3. Linemen I spend money on my offensive line to only have them constantly missing their blocks or just plain running by the defensive player.
4. The percentage of break ups for the cpu vs human is straight ridiculous if my WR jumps he always drops the ball when he hits the ground.
5. Pass interference is never called especially when a db blocks or hits my WR early. The percentage is high on the amount of the defense meeting the ball and the WR at the same time which goes back to the ridiculous amount of break ups they cause.
6. I’m not sure why you restricted the sleeves and arm braces and equipment but it’s needs to be open again to be able to wear a sleeve and a brace. The mouthpieces I never use cause it’s suckened into their face and is not centered properly in their mouth so it’s look dumb. I noticed in the draft the autogenerated rookies some come with a sleeve and a brace the very same thing you restricted the player from doing. These same auto generated rookies come with 0 arms and legs and I mean everyone does include big 6’8” linemen not understanding that either.
7. Interceptions is silly too as I have seen the db get a burst speed or something that was totally unreal and pick it off.
8. I’m not sure why if I automated the computer offense they can score but never use any of their timeouts when the game is under 2 minutes that makes no sense.
9. The weight of a player doesn’t seem to matter either as I draft heavy RBs but they can get stopped dead in their tracks at the 1 yard line by a clearly lighter and smaller DB.
I understand trying to make each level a certain level of difficulty but coding it to overlook the ratings makes it silly. The game play sliders don’t really work either in madden mode but I do know that in madden 22 the height mattered and all madden was a good level of difficulty as it took me like years to get past certain teams only if I drafted a Xfactor. I am not asking for a total remake but just to fix the things that were good before and seem to have morphed I to this game. I enjoy the graphics but the game play must be better as it’s very aggravating at times when the computer ratchets up these issues.
