Madden 26 Superstar Mode: 1 step forward, 2 steps back
Let me start by acknowledging that while Superstar is improved, the lack of attention to detail is so glaring that it's impossible to fully enjoy the mode. So here's a list:
- Where is the league leaders section or stats for the season that you're in?
- Career stats are duplicated in player stats
- Travis Hunter's receiving stats aren't tracked. CFB 25 had no problem doing it, yet you guys somehow mess that up smh
- Where is the news section? I have no idea what is happening around the league unless I tediously go through each league info tab.
- Where is the tab for single-season or single-game records?
- How did we go another year without player cards or being able to view career stats from previous seasons, plus awards and accomplishments? (RTG has it, but Superstar doesn't after 3 years?)
- What happened to the legacy leaderboard?
- And for the ONE MILLIONTH TIME, why can't our players have dreads/long hair that comes out the back of the helmet? This was in previous Madden/CFB games, so why in 2025 is such a simple feature not available? And why is it never even acknowledged?
- Love the new heavy snow feature, but it's UNPLAYABLE right now. CPU teammates fumble every other play; it's ridiculous and unfair.
- Let us import more than 1 RTG player per position in Superstar. We weren't limited in the old games, so we shouldn't be limited now.
- The league portion of Superstar should be an EXCLUSIVELY offline game mode. This is the only mode I play. I don't play MUT, and I don't play Franchise anymore after y'all removed the player career option last year; so some of us just want an offline single-player career mode experience. We shouldn't have to be logged into EA's servers to get this; we don't have to in RTG, so why do we have to in Madden?
Madden is the only "simulation" NFL game on the market right now; treat it as such and stop giving us the bare minimum. Year after year, we pay $70-$100 for a product that's not only limited and bare bones, but has horrendous quality-of-life issues that often never get addressed or acknowledged.
