  • Fix deep third, halves, and quarter zone assignments. Right now, DB’s get “dumbed” out, and just stand there and let a receiver run right past them. 

  • Make QB contains actually contain the QB. Defensive ends in a contain assignment still take poor rush angles, mostly inside, towards the QB. 
  • Dashing, roaming, and inside deadeyes needs a throwing distance and ball velocity threshold according to the QB’s handiness. 
    It is IMPOSSIBLE for a right handed QB who rolls right, to make an accurate throw forty yards across his body, and twenty yards down field. (Or more) 
  • CPU AI needs to be completely overhauled, especially with the recent user nerf. No one should be able to make hot routes that abuse the AI, and run the same play over and over. 

  • Moving forward, when you upgrade the game engine, please move to a physics based engine. The animations really ruin game play. I really believe if you were to do a community poll about animations, the results would be overwhelmingly in favor of a physics based engine. 

  • Remove abilities in future installments, or make them available in an arcade based game mode, because at the end of the day, this is what abilities are. 

  • In franchise mode, bring back the drills that were in past installments to allow us to develop our team. OTA’s and training camp is part of the NFL. 

  • For presentation, why isn’t Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, and ESPN in the game? This would be pretty awesome if it were.   

This is just to name a few things. I have other ideas, but quite frankly, I’m tired of typing. Please post your ideas and thoughts.

@Cr0wNtHe7s Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Since you made multiple suggestions / reported several bugs, I would like to point to various threads about the topics you mention (to focus the discussions if other players see your post).

  • Fix deep third, halves, and quarter zone assignments. Right now, DB’s get “dumbed” out, and just stand there and let a receiver run right past them.

  • Make QB contains actually contain the QB. Defensive ends in a contain assignment still take poor rush angles, mostly inside, towards the QB.

  • Dashing, roaming, and inside deadeyes needs a throwing distance and ball velocity threshold according to the QB’s handiness. 
    It is IMPOSSIBLE for a right handed QB who rolls right, to make an accurate throw forty yards across his body, and twenty yards down field. (Or more) 

Great suggestion! I will add it to the Madden Suggestions Index.

  • CPU AI needs to be completely overhauled, especially with the recent user nerf. No one should be able to make hot routes that abuse the AI, and run the same play over and over. 

fully agree!

  • Moving forward, when you upgrade the game engine, please move to a physics based engine. The animations really ruin game play. I really believe if you were to do a community poll about animations, the results would be overwhelmingly in favor of a physics based engine.

  • Remove abilities in future installments, or make them available in an arcade based game mode, because at the end of the day, this is what abilities are. 

I like your suggestion but I fear that it will stay in all competitive modes too. Anyways, I will add it to the Suggestions Index too.

  • In franchise mode, bring back the drills that were in past installments to allow us to develop our team. OTA’s and training camp is part of the NFL. 

will be added to the Suggestions Index too. thank you!

  • For presentation, why isn’t Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, and ESPN in the game? This would be pretty awesome if it were.   

will be added to the Suggestions Index too. thank you!

    Please fix the franchise gallery bugs like, random disappearances, incorrect game screenshot for example if I clipped a week 5 highlight and clipped another one in week 6 without restarting my madden it would use the newer clip and post it over the week5 clip in franchise gallery. 

    Also please in madden 26 make it so everyone in the stadium (fans, sidelines, assistant coaches) have a personality and not some lifeless npcs on the field staring straight and make them interact with the play like shouting out the play "run, pass!" and intensely staring at the play when necessary, and also wearing headphones and look different from one another, and same goes with the fans but I wish the fans were able to wear face paint or hold up signs, and point at the game instead of doing one animation. 

    I also hope that the probowl comes back in madden 26 because it gets annoying realizing that there isn't one which every madden game should have. 

    I also hope that madden 26 implements the character customizing from superstar mode, and add more customize features like eye color and and tattoos.

    Gameplay wise I don't have that many issues with besides the aggressive catching, which seems more bland than real life and madden 16 where u can see obj moss Josh Norman or watch George Pickens catch a diving head tap, idk if it's me but I never see those type of plays by online players or cpu

    But I will also like to say that it would be better if the qb would celebrate before the touchdown is scored and the team as well. And I hope u guys can also make interactions with the sidelines like if a qb runs out of bounce he can sometimes interact with the sidelines, or celebrations where u can jump on the stands or dance with the mascot. 

    Also please make the commentary more energetic and nfl like because it gets very annoying and boring later on

     

    Thank you this is just my opinion and I don't expect EA to take in all my issues with the game but it's jus what I've been pondering
