Presentation
I feel like if you are really trying to give us authentic football, for games that are on Sunday, Monday and Thursday we should get the actual feeling of how it is when we watch games on those days. We should get the intros for games that are on Fox, CBS, ESPN, Prime, and NBC. We should be getting half time highlights from games for the day. Not scores actual highlights. We should also be getting something similar to NFL Primetime at the end of the week. That is actual authentic football. I want to hear the actual Sunday, Monday and Thursday night theme songs. I guarantee if you made an actual authentic football game there would be more people buying Madden.Salary cap setting
Since you cant turn the salary cap back on after turning it off in franchise mode, can we make it so whatever its set to at the start of the franchise is where it stays?? One of my franchises is over because of a mistake that was made while scrolling through the settings during the playoffs
Auto pass/ coach mode broken
Platform: PS5 Game Mode: Franchise Issue: With Auto pass on formally known as coach mode won't let me take control of QB no matter what I press. It works fine in head to HEAD mode. Ever since the new update. Reproducible: Yes. I can do this on every game I’ve played in all my franchises.Removing Owner Mode in Madden NFL 26 Is an Unacceptable
I’ve been playing Madden Franchise mode for years now. And one of the defining features that kept me engaged season after season was owner mode. Finding out that it’s been outright removed from Madden NFL 26 is beyond disappointing it’s a baffling decision that actively reduces player choice, variety and depth. Owner mode base always appealed specific segment of the Madden community those of us who enjoy not just coaching on the field, but running the team as a complete organisation. It gave players the freedom to shape the teams future through financial management, stadium upgrades, relocation decisions, merchandising and more. It was about long-term strategy and immersion. Now we are being forced and told that we can only be and play as coaches. That would be one thing if coach mode had been dramatically expanded to absorb the responsibilities and features of owner mode but it hasn’t. This isn’t a reimagining of franchise mode. It’s a subtraction. A narrowing of gameplay. A forced shift in how players are “allowed” to experience the game, with nothing meaningful added to make up for it. From a design standpoint, removing established and beloved features without a compelling replacement is a massive step backwards. It gives the impression that decisions are being made based on cutting corners rather than improving the product. Over the years, we’ve seen madden remove or neglect features that once made it a truly deep and replayable sports sim, and this feels like yet another example in that troubling trend. I understand that EA’s relationship with the NFL license might have its own complexities, but that should never translate to shipping a less complete game. If anything, with competition in the football game market still limited, there’s even more responsibility to deliver the most feature-rich and immersive experience possible not less. Right now, EA is telling a portion of its most dedicated fan base that: “The way you like to play doesn’t matter anymore.” That’s not how you build long-term loyalty, and it’s certainly not how you keep Franchise Mode alive for the fans who have stuck with it through years of incremental changes and missing features. I truly hope EA reconsiders this decision and brings Owner mode back, whether through a future patch or the next madden game. I would love to be proven wrong about my skepticism. But given past history, it’s hard to feel confident. Removing Owner mode doesn’t just hurt Franchise mode it undermines the very variety and player freedom that made it worth returning year to year.Gm Franchise Mode
I dislike the idea of everything in one franchise mode and the owner mode used to be pretty good for a gm mode. But, I want solely gm mode where u monitor players through training camp and I want more detailed contracts and salary cap, I also want player film for scouting, gms should also be able to go to combines and events, and you should also be able to start as scout and work your way up.Multi-user team offline franchise coach XP
Wondering if there is something I'm missing or if it's another bug.... I play strictly offline franchise (Eagles), and I like to add user teams whenever a coach is fired and add the new one (IE Titans, Giants so far). I'll also take over teams like the Jets to prevent the CPU from firing coaches that I think will get another year even with their crappy records. I'd take over the Fins too this year most likely, and dump some players as I suspect they'll do in the offseason as they reboot. I'll run them on autopilot for the most part except around the draft, preseason cuts, etc. Anyhoo, when I took over the Titans after Callahan was fired, I noticed that my primary team stopped getting weekly XP progression for the coach. I tried without autopilot as well but now it's robbing me of unlocks etc. Anyone know a way around this?Madden 26 you are already the commissioner of 20 leagues
Every time I try to start a league it says this error that I already am the commissioner of 20 leagues, even though I am not a part of any Does anyone know how to fix this? It won’t even let me play superstar now because I tried to make a character and it says the same message.Franchise Mode - Playoff Tiebreaker Question
For teams that are tied for a wildcard spot who have not played each other and have identical conference records, how is the tiebreaker determined? I guess, I'm wondering if there are written tiebreaker rules. When I asked google, the AI answer included a potential alphabetical sorting of the tied teams, which would be a little crazy!
