Accessibility Filters Not Applying Online + Limited HUD Color Customization
Platform: PC Modes affected: Ranked, Franchise (online) Issue type: Accessibility / Visual Settings Not Applying There are two separate technical problems with the current accessibility implementation. 1) Accessibility filters do not consistently apply in online modes. Colorblind filters function in offline play, but in online modes (Ranked and Franchise), the filters either: - Do not apply at all, or - Apply inconsistently between sessions If an accessibility setting exists in the global menu, it should apply at the engine level across all modes. There should not be a separate rendering path that bypasses accessibility filters during online play. This appears to be a mode-specific rendering override rather than a user configuration issue. 2) The current accessibility implementation lacks targeted control. The existing presets apply a global color shift to the entire rendered frame. This does not address the specific UI and gameplay elements that create visibility conflicts. There is currently no way to independently adjust: - Passing reticle color - Route colors - User indicator color - Catch indicator color - HUD highlight colors - Contrast levels for gameplay-critical UI The visibility problems are element-specific, not global color issues. Examples: - Yellow landing reticle blending into green turf - Red uniforms blending into stadium lighting - Blue-on-blue matchups lacking separation - White UI text becoming unreadable depending on background These are contrast mapping problems that require UI-layer color control, not full-frame hue adjustments. Suggested technical improvements: - Move accessibility filters to apply at a universal rendering stage so they function in all modes. - Add per-element HUD color customization similar to Battlefield’s system (reticle, indicators, UI highlights). - Implement adjustable high-contrast mode for UI elements only. - Allow local uniform overrides for visibility (display-side only, not gameplay-affecting). Other EA titles already support more advanced accessibility systems. Madden should not rely solely on global preset filters. Accessibility settings should function consistently across all modes and provide element-level control rather than full-screen color shifts.
Madden 26 Teambuilder Helmet Color issue (2nd post for visibility)
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. Only 4 of the helmet types aren't having this glitch and appear normal (Axium, Vicis 2, Gladiator, and Light) - the rest of the helmets (f7, Speedflex, etc.) all have the glitch. It takes away from what our team is supposed to be. Last Madden, there was a similar glitch in that the banners and chinstraps would automatically match the color of the helmet chosen. This time it's a chrome black color regardless of the color. See below for example. It should be white banner where the Orcas is as well as the back banner, and the chin straps and cups should be white. Instead, you can see on the F7 they're showing up black/chrome. The Axium displays correctly in-game. There are several other things I'd love to see added to TB, but ultimately, this glitch is the biggest concern as of now. Can this please be addressed as it must not be that hard to fix. It seems to have started occurring in the past week or so since the last major Madden update. Even teams that I made a month ago prior to the glitch are having the same bug.Can we please get an update on EA Servers?
I’ve been waiting hours to play madden ultimate team. Every time I try to load head 2 head, the game crashes and give me a “connection lost” error. Saying that “the servers cannot process your request at this time. Please try again later.” What is it that we can do to play a singular game of head 2 head on ultimate team? Or any online gamemode at all.
I'm lost for words
I was recently permanently suspended for coin distribution. I was not told what I did when I did it or any other details. I read EA's terms of service and I was told that I would receive a 30 day email ahead of time letting me know what I did wrong and what the actions on my account we're gonna be I did not receive that email. I spent 80 bucks on Christmas and then two days later my account gets permanently suspended and I have no idea why so in my eyes my money just got stolen. I made many appeals and they all keep getting denied. I would like to know what I even did to receive my suspension but everybody at EA Help has the same copy and paste button and nobody knows how to actually solve an issue. I wish I was able to actually call and talk to somebody because then I think everybody would have their issue solved quicker with a lot more appreciation to the company. I feel like this company is really useless. They don't know how to help and they have bots do everything for them. I just want either my account back or my money back or at least unlink the account for me cause now I can't even unlink my account because it has a bang on it so this is really one big loophole and it's really stupid. I'd like it to end.Madden2026 refund
I need a refund for Madden 26. I played the game for 30 days and now it’s been broken for over 30 days. It’s no need for the thumb wars and useless emails. Everyone knows nothing is being done to fix the Superstar error on Madden so issues me a refund and than I can go to the store this time and buy the disk. Buying online games are now a risk. This can easily be fixed by having a refund/rebuy button or something on PlayStation plus. I need a refund, not another excuse.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.
