Subject: Madden NFL 26 Online Difficulty Feedback – All-Pro Mode Issues

Hello EA Sports Team,

My name is Jason Degree (Gamertag: Jay Paseo), and I’ve been playing Madden for many years, especially online. I wanted to provide detailed feedback about Madden NFL 26’s online difficulty settings. Right now, most online modes are locked to All-Pro, and I believe this makes the game feel slower, less competitive, and frustrating — especially for experienced players like myself.

On defense, it’s nearly impossible to get consistent stops:

• Pass rush is too slow — by the time a defender gets close, the QB has already thrown the ball.
• If your opponent has a high-powered QB, sacks are almost impossible.
• Coverage feels sluggish, making it hard to react in time or stick with receivers.
• Man-to-man defense is still ineffective, with defenders often trailing far behind or failing to react quickly to cuts.
• Zone defense is also weak, especially in hard flats, where defenders react too slowly or give up easy completions.
• QBs can scramble backwards 10–20 yards and still make a throw — something that’s completely unrealistic compared to real football. After a certain amount of distance running back ward you should loose acceleration accuracy and it should be a sack and not a throw a away 
• QB release animations are too fast, making it nearly impossible to react and adjust on defense.
• online play has gotten to Arcadic and unrealistic to the point where is unfair and unplayable 

On offense, there are also major issues:

• Wide-open receivers are being overthrown far too often.
• Offensive lines struggle to pick up blitzes, and even against a standard 4-man rush, pressure comes too quickly.

All of this combined makes online All-Pro games feel less competitive and overly random, removing much of the skill-based gameplay Madden can offer — particularly for those of us who have spent years perfecting our play online.

My suggestion: Please create a competitive All-Madden online mode (or allow players to choose difficulty for ranked/competitive play) so those of us who play online regularly can have a faster-paced, more skill-driven experience.

Thank you for listening to the community and continuing to improve Madden.

Sincerely,

Jason
