How can I share my suggestions for Madden NFL 25?

Hey, Madden Community!

Welcome to the Game Suggestions board! You're probably here because you have a great suggestion for Madden NFL 25 or for a future Madden title. This is the perfect place to share your thoughts on how to improve the Madden franchise. 

Some rules and guidelines for this board:

  1. Be constructive! If the game is frustrating you, please let us know why it makes you feel that way and share your thoughts on how to make it better. Posts that are abusive or troll-like may be removed per the AHQ Forum Rules
  2. Use the search bar! Try searching for key words to see if there's already a post about the topic you want to bring up. If you find a thread feel free to join the conversation. We love to see one thread with an active discussion instead of a bunch of random posts about the same topic. This makes it easier to collect everyone's feedback and share it with the Madden team.
  3. Give XP! Think of this board as a public "suggestion box." If you like someone's ideas or feedback hit the XP button on their post. We often look at this to let us know when an idea is getting traction from the community. 
  4. Keep other boards in mind! For instance, if you have thoughts on a specific feature in Franchise, it might be best to create a thread on the dedicated Franchise board. That way your fellow Franchise fans can join the conversation and share their thoughts. 

How do I give a great suggestion?

  • A post that only says "you should put X in the game because it will make it better" isn't very helpful. How would it be better? What needs to be improved? If your post tells us why the current design has issues and includes reasons why your idea would be an improvement, that gives us much more to go on. Including specific examples can go a long way toward making improvements to the game. Screenshots or video clips are always welcome! 

We look forward to hearing your thoughts on Madden NFL 25!  We'll do our part to share your feedback with the Madden development team for consideration. 

Thank you for being a fan of the Madden franchise!

    Thank you for taking the time to read this. The suggestions I would like to offer are specifically for Superstar Mode. I am one of those who only play Super Start mode, simply because of the individual control and College RTG import. I think RTG import is a fantastic feature that offers a realistic impression of player progression through High School, College, and then the Pros. Therefore, I am willing to spend the money on a feature that no other games invest in and spend hundreds of hours playing. Or not to my knowledge. Now to the suggested updates. 

    Player Wear and Tear: 

    1. The wear and tear (W&T) progresses too quickly while playing. This affects the play throughout the game. There needs to be options that allow for modification for wear and tear (like college football). The idea is grand, but the process is too quick. 
    2. Do CPU offensive and defensive players, besides the Superstar player, experience W&T?
    3. The Superstar player does not regain W&T when they are subbed out. When using the option in the playbook to customize, 'Keep Fresh' or 'Grind It Out', this feature does not work. Therefore, my player stays in the game unless they are subbed out for personnel packages. 

    Player stats and records: 

    1. Enter as a rookie, commentators acknowledge some of my college stats, but I am unable to locate my awards and trophies in the Superstar Mode, like being a Heisman winner X years or winning significant games like bowl games, conference championships, or the National Championship game. These things matter and should play a part when getting drafted. It may matter some aspect that I am unable to measure, but it doesn't feel it. 
    2. When accessing the record books, there are no categories for single-game or season records. It only offers Career stats. 
    3. Season stats are not displayed, ONLY career stats. Therefore, I am unable to view the season's stats, as the Superstar modes only display career stats. This is inaccurate data for the season. 
    4. When a record is broken, it displays the incorrect name (name of another player), indicating that it is not the Superstar player who broke the record. 
    5. There is no view for the team schedule.
    6. It is not mentioned 

    In-game play:

    1. In Superstar mode, there is no option to challenge a play. This is very annoying. On the account, I have lost games and EXP due to random challenges by the referee, and it also does not allow me to challenge a play. 
    2. Between drives, the incorrect down is sometimes displayed. 
    3. There are times when I get tackled by a defender while they are being blocked. I am not sure how this is possible. 

    Alternative fixes: 

    1. It would be nice to have the option for an in-season trade. Trade is only available at the end of the season. 
    2. Provide the option to simulate games or even the season. 
    3. Facemask is NEVER called or unnecessary roughness. 
    4. Where is the Chain Gang? 
    5. Superstart players never experience injuries, a few days, weeks or season-ending injuries. 

     

    I hope this information helps, as I share it along with other fans of Madden, because we all want to see you succeed. However, for clarity, I do appreciate the new features added to Madden that give the gameplay a more realistic feel. The new animations and features added this year have been amazing, and I look forward to witnessing more great things you add to the Madden franchise. "Go, Madden."

    I agree with the draft process. But could you provide a little more detail on how to make the experience a little more realistic?

    Added Game mode in UT:

    I think there should be a game mode that would be competitive yet enjoyable. The mode would be similar to draft picks. But instead of randomly selected rounds where you could get multiple of the same position/low levels. I think having it set to where you can pick 2 99ovr on both off/def, 2 95ovr off/def, 2 90ovr off/def and the rest being 88ovr off/def to keep it even yet fun. The selection would be almost like a binder with each position having multiple selections of that position rather than just the same 99s or 90s and so on. It would cost 15k coins to register just like draft picks and the cards would only be for that game mode to let the game itself progress into the higher ranks. I think this would not only attract new players but also give everyone a fair shot during games, it would be simulation mode ofc to get a real feel of who you picked. I truly think this would be a major improvement to game and attract new clientele and major fans especially if you include legends and rookies into the mix of the selection
