@EA_Illium Thank you! Please escalate it if you can! I speak for A LOT of gamers that want more offline depth added to Madden.

Hi. I have a youtube channel dedicated to Madden. Xandofootball on youtube.I think it's a long shot, but I thought I'd try to reach out and give suggestions on how you can make Madden a better game. 1 - - -You guys should incorporate more -bunch defensive checks- in the game like they do in real life. I've made videos on this.All you guys have is the box check when playing quarters. The reason why bunch is so overly used in today's game, is because you don't give the defense the tools to deal with it, like in real life. Whenever you run into an issue {why is bunch offenses so overpowered}, instead of weakening the defense via coding, you should ask yourself : {What do Nfl defenses do against Bunch}. Find that answer, and put it into the game.From a single High defense like cover 1 : they will run a check called traffic. Where one defender locks on the point man in the bunch : and the other 2 defenders will play an IN and OUT coverage on the remaining 2 receivers. Find the strengths and weaknesses of this coverage, and make sure it works in the game.Pentagon is a defensive bunch check.Sort is a defensive bunch check.Cluster is a defensive blitz check from a 2 high shell.Teams will play tango - etc. On and on and on. Adding stuff like this in the game will make people play longer and LEARN real football at the same time.2 - - - Add more defensive coverages in the game. Coverages like Vic Fangio's "Pounder".Pounder is where the defense is playing cover 2 man underneath, but the 2 safeties aren't playing deep halves. They are more like 1/4's safeties - reading inside out from Number 2 to Number 1. Fangio runs this for a variety of different reasons and the corners underneath play their leverage based upon where their help is.Add more coverages like Cover 5 cougar. Cover 5 cougar is like a cover 2 man variant. Where, depending on what route is ran by the number 2, the defense may end up playing cover 2 man, or it may morph into a pseudo cover 2 zone type coverage where the outside corner MAN turns with his assignment up the field, but then leaks off and jumps the flat because the number 2 ran an out. The second defender in on this play would leak off of the number going out, and cut the number 1.There is another defensive coverage that plays concepts like Flood or Sail PERFECTLY. I can't remember the name. But these are coverages that should be in your game.3 - - - Make everything customizable. As the user, I should have a menu where it asks what check do I want my defense to check to against bunch if I select Cover 4, Cover 3, Cover 2 . . . etc. If user doesn't mess with those menus, than the game just automatically checks into box, or spot drop . . . etc.4 - - - Hire me.There are so much more. If you were to add all of the different types of defenses in the game, there would be no fear in allowing users to create their own offensive plays. Imagine allowing people to create their own offensive plays. People would never put the controller down. You'd have endless videos of people sharing their creative thoughts on offense. And you wouldn't fear it breaking the coding of the game because you have all of the necessary tools in Madden to stop offenses. So much to talk about. I assume this will fall on deaf ears , but it was worth a shot. Peace.

It's more likely they'll take stuff out than add the things we want as a community. It took months to add custom playbooks back in this year and we still can't choose our uniforms in online h2h games. They won't even address something as basic as choosing your uniforms, so I have very little hope they'll actually add things to the game to make it better. More likely they'll remove features and slowly add them back in over the course of months after the release date.

Hey @justinsolomita93 Thanks for taking a moment to share your Feedback on Madden NFL with the community! 💪🏽 Happy to pass this along to the team.

Just to add on to thisMORE CHARACTER DRIP PLEASESuch as: dangling mouth pieces, different eye black, AND PLEASE make an option for UNDERSHIRT have it be its own option!! Like undershirt with or without sleeves and make them different colors so it's not only white and the teams home color. so, we don't have to do a full arm sleeve and half sleeve on the other arm. it looks odd. Let it have that separation of skin between the sleeve and the shirt, so then we can finally use the padded sleeve with A compression shirt instead of having to use just the padded sleeve without the shirt or the full arm sleeve without the pad. Or even turtleneck and or neck bands. also add double arm sleeves we're overdue with all of these items please EA add these madden 26.

Been playing every Madden franchise mode (my favorite) for idk 15 years. My brother and I never miss a Madden. All my suggestions are going to mostly be for franchise.
1st- customizable or downloadable create a teams for changing teams. Logos/names. Add more cities
2nd- I read this one earlier but love the idea. Power rankings! The current Madden 25 has you do these interviews for whatever reason. They are dumb. Why is Ryan Clark the one to impress 😆 in 23 & 24 you could trash talk teams and it would make a little harder. That's gone? Why!
3rdly- we should never as a Madden franchise player "run out of coaches" fix this. We get custom created draft classes?

4th- have more skill tree options for your head coach and coordinators. Have skills tree specific to 3-4 , 4-2 etc.
5th- I remember Madden 20 year anniversary it had a cool feature where if you did a play now game it would record it and on load up there'd be a Lombardi trophy with previous games played. Loved that feature when playing friends or my brother.
6th- better record book keeping in franchise. Seems easy enough?
7th- custom stadiums, I know part of the community been asking for this for a while.
I look forward to Madden 26. Hopefully y'all give us franchise players or offline players more love. It's not all about ultimate team for some of us. Thanks 🤌

I want to add how great the nfl2k5 franchise mode was it is so ahead of its time its still extremely playable till this day in 2025 20 years later the broadcasting is hilarious and with beat commentary there's weekly sportscast like SportsCenter cutscenes that show u everything that's happening on a game by game weekly basis with stats and highlights literally 3.5-5 minutes long giving if any injuries or a highlighted story on a player rising status or rookie or record on the line its phanomily detailed and they need to fix those player behaviors they all seem so inattentive and distracted the game has no enthusiasm to keep me playing its so boring so sad undriven feeling playing every madden they need to make the game more hyper realistically what i truely want is BRAND NEW NFL2K GAME BADLY FIRE EA AND CANCEL MADDEN FOOTBALL.... Or make it basically just like it with madden hot routes....

Please add in more player faces for custom players and custom coaches as well. Player models need specific body types. Lineman need to look like lineman like someone else said. Leg shapes should vary based on player position
Also one of my biggest requests is players removing their mouthpieces between places and untucked jerseys that happens in real life a lot and jersey cuffs being misaligned throughout the game
