Madden 26 Team Builder is the worst team builder I have ever used.
I don't even know where to get started. I have spent hours building custom teams for college football 25/26, and have plenty of experience with the interface for their system, which is easily ten times better than that of Madden's. Hell, I would even take the in-game team builder in NHL26 over this. Firstly, the website looks identical to the one for all the other football custom team menus, except it is missing the Adobe Express photo editor, so it is remarkably difficult to make the background of an image transparent. Rather than just clicking on the edit with Adobe Express, then clicking remove background, now you need to go scouring through the internet for either an image that already has a transparent background that actually looks good, or a website that doesn't require you to give up the naming rights to your firstborn just to edit an image for free. I don't understand why Adobe Express (which they have access to) is such a tall order for a multi-billion-dollar company, especially when it is already up and running in the college football section of THE SAME WEBSITE. On top of that, while making a team on Madden, I found that the maximum allowable file size for a logo in Madden team builder is less than that of the one in NCAA 26. I found this out while trying to figure out a workaround for the Adobe Express issue previously mentioned. After removing the background of an image in the NCAA team builder, I copied the same image over to the Madden team builder, and the image could not be uploaded because the file size was too big. Not sure why they do this, there are no issues with file uploading or displaying the images in-game with NCAA26. Sure, these aren't super game-breaking problems, but it makes building a custom team in Madden (something that took maybe 20 minutes in NCAA), into a remarkably long and annoying process, which causes issues that were never a problem before. It blows my mind that a company with a value of over 50 billion can be so lazy as to not add features that are literally on the same website, or even worse, that they literally forgot. This is a stupid **bleep** problem to have. Everything is on the same website, so why can't you just make all the team builders have the same features?
