Tuning patch

I expect the gameplay will be tuned with the next Madden 26 patch. Until then I'm going back to Madden 25. [Edit - CM]

 

The quarterbacks run too effectively and the QB sneak is too frequent and too effective. Success on a QB sneak should be based on ratings.

 

For example, a 78 ovr quarterback with 60 carrying shouldn't be sneaking with a 89 ovr halfback with 92 carrying behind him. If he does sneak the failure % and chance of fumble should skyrocket. 

And get rid of the gimmicks like on go ahead or game winning field goals. Just let kick success be based on ratings. The icing thing with the rapid meter is arcade. 

Bucket drop training is an assumption that ALL players use skill based. I prefer classic against All Madden in franchise. I just ignore that drill and keep it moving. 

Unless I haven't found it, there's no edit appearance of my coach. Or dynamic clothing change like in Madden 25. My coach was on the sideline wearing a long sleeve white shirt and a red tie in a soaking rain storm. And he wasn't wet. Come on you can do better than that

Tone down the AI spins. Coach abilities get the gas face. No strategy like in 25 with defend outside or throw deep. Now it's pick an ability. Boring just like in college football. 

I want control of coach goals back. The game can use coach goals to manipulate the outcome or flow of a game. Let me pick my own goals then lock them in making them unchangeable after weekly training. 

 

Let me know when you've tuned the game properly. Until then I'll be hanging out with Madden 25. I want Madden NFL back without the arcade no strategy lean towards College Football.
