Franchise mode issues/recommendations

Hey there,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write out this incredibly detailed breakdown! Feedback like this is exactly what helps us dial in the game Madden NFL 27 Title Update August 26, 2026.

I agree with the CPU draft logic—seeing a team burn a 1st-round pick on a Left Tackle when they already have both tackle spots locked down with young stars like Banks and Fuaga definitely takes you out of the immersion!

While we just rolled out fixes for Wear & Tear, College Coach abilities, and custom roster imports, the Franchise team is actually actively investigating several of the other economy and contract issues you mentioned here—including CPU roster depth deficiencies, unrealistic contract negotiations, and illogical salary cap progression.

We'll go ahead and pass it along to the right team so they can take a look-see!

I guess we'll have to set the DeLorean's temporal displacement dial to next week to see what else they roll out, because where we're going, we don't need roads!
