Madden 26 Needs to Be Better Than Ever

YES. This is the energy Madden needs to hear loud and clear.

You said it perfectly — we’re not asking for miracles, we’re asking for effort. And not the kind that shows up in a launch trailer, but the kind that actually makes it into the gameplay, the atmosphere, the details. That Forza comparison? Spot on. If a racing game can make the world feel alive, Madden — an NFL experience — should be putting us on the field like it’s real Sunday action.

And thank you for calling out the “pay-to-compete” problem. Ultimate Team has been fun at times, but it shouldn’t feel like a second job or a rich man’s playground. There’s no pride in building a team if the grind feels like punishment.

Also — YES to smarter blocking and real football IQ. We need a game that feels like a simulation, not a coin-op arcade machine. O-line logic, QB timing, defensive disguises — those aren’t luxury features, they’re core football.

Oh, and bringing back legends? That’s respect. Football is legacy. Madden should be honoring that.

Still holding on with hope — maybe just remembering what this game used to feel like. But the belief is still here because this game could be great if the right people chose to listen. Appreciate your voice on this. Let’s keep raising the standard.

Best,

Juan
