Community ManagerRe: Create a player won’t accept real names in Madden 20
Thank you for raising this to us. It appears to be getting flagged by the naming filter, unfortunately. We'll make sure the team is aware. 👍

The team made an update surrounding disallowed names in Face of the Franchise:
DEV NOTE: We updated the list of disallowed player names for Face of the Franchise: QB1 mode. This means that you may not be able to make a player avatar with your preferred last name when playing through the College Football Championship games. Users can change their player’s name once they are drafted onto an NFL team, where there are no naming restrictions. So are all of the common African American names not on there? I’ve put Washington, Jones, and Johnson. Y’all really discouraging people from playing this game mode. It’s honestly ridiculous how many unnecessary changes y’all make to this game.

Is this still happening AFTER your QB1 player is drafted by an NFL team when you go to try and change their name?
Here’s the thing. I shouldn’t have to use a default name during a game mode designed to allow me to create my own likeness. It didn’t start out that way, so why did y’all change it? Secondly, I didn’t try to go through the game mode because I don’t want it saying “Player” when that’s not my last name.
On the chance you somehow see this, it’s a problem for draft classes in madden 21 and franchise. Jabril Cox is a real person, he’s a lb at LSU. Unfortunately the name filters out cox. I understand how this could be used in the wrong way, but it’s kind of annoying having to make his last name “c-x” instead of Cox. Announcers also probably know how to say commentary with the last name, as it is possible for an auto generated rookie to have the last name. It’s a little disappointing if you could rely this on to someone
My last name is Coone and it will not let me use it. It is very discriminating that yall won't let me Use my given name because for one the racial slur is not even spelled that way.
