Madden 26 Teambuilder issue

small issue but it's infuriating considering we paid money for the game and some of us only play Franchise and use Teambuilder as a way to have a custom franchise. 

The helmet banners and chinstraps are appearing chrome/black in game instead of white (or any other color you choose) that it shows in Teambuilder. It even shows correctly in the preview in Download Center in game, but when you download the team and start a franchise, then play a game or view players in Adjust Lineup, the chinstraps and banners are chrome/black. It takes away from what our team is supposed to be.

In Madden 25, the chinstraps and banners would automatically default to the color of your helmet. Initially in M26, it was working fine and no issues, but just in the past week this glitch has surfaced, PLEASE FIX OR I WILL NEVER PURCHASE MADDEN AGAIN UNTIL EA Loses the rights. It's ridiculous, .I'm so tired of being patient with this nonsense. Get TEAMbuilder right or remove it altogether. It's not fair to your customers and we're tired of the constant glitches. You also need to add more features like shoulder stripes (think NE Patriots, LSU tigers, etc.), sock stripes (Think Browns, etc.), and fix the sock issue (I make the undersocks blue and base white, ONLY one color shows up). What's the point of having the sock option in customization with no sock, low, med, high when it ALWAYS defaults to one style for the WHOLE TEAM. It's ridiculous. GET IT RIGHT EA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD GET A REFUND BUT ITS TOO LATE. PLEASE FIX AND MAKE THESE IMPROVEMENTS.

    Also having this issue. Please fix son EA. I've spent countless hours on 20 different teams and I'd like to see them in there full glory. I don't understand how these glitches come up but it's definitely annoying but I'm also not a game developer so I need to shut my mouth but EA please fix this soon or I will just stop spending so much time on team editor.

    Any of u guys havin a franchise unloaded dur to server issue problem??? I already had a Team Builder Franchise that was working perfectly fine, but i wanted to switch the teams up so i made a new one. Upon making the new league, i can now no longer advance the league to the 2026 season without constantly getting “franchise unloaded due to server issues” error. Ive tried simming week by week to see if it helps, it does nothing. I tried to sim 10 years into the future does nothing. Tried to sim it year by year does nothing. I even deleted all the teams closed app redownload said teams & still getting the error, i even made different leagues usin each team one by to see if maybe it was the team file that was corrupted & deleted more teams after more testing just to keep getting the same error, any feedback whatsoever would help thanks.

  • I’ve been dealing with this issue as well. I have a 32 team UFL league that relies on team-builder and I feel so stupid for importing my teams and letting EA spit on my work like this. I might just have to contact support and hope that they can tell someone higher up on the EA ladder…

  • Even with today's update this has not been fixed. Why has nobody in the team even acknowledged this? Maybe EA_Barry​ will?

    I'm very disappointed that this still hasn't been fixed or even acknowledged by a developer. People put hours or days into these uniforms only for them to not show up correctly in the game and it's a major let down. This bug has been around for months and still nothing. It's just like Madden 25 when the accessories would default to the color of the helmet but now in this game, it's chrome for some reason. If you're not going to fix these issues when they happen and let them go on until the new game comes out, what's the point of even making this feature. I'm not a developer and don't know what it's like to fix these bugs but, it would be nice to get feedback to know if the problem is being worked on. I love team editor and making my own teams, but I'm extremely upset that nothing will be done to these small issues. Please fix EA please please please.
