27 Madden Franchise Suggestions
I am the biggest Madden Franchise Dynasty mode fan ever. And I have been very disappointed in the lack of in depth focus off the madden franchise focus on dynasty, I miss the days of having all the authenticity of all the real coaches, off/def coordinators and special teams coaches. I think it has taken away a lot of the realism. It would be nice if you could create HC, OC, DC, ST coaches like how NBA 2K allows you to since you have limited control and realism over the made up coaches on madden now. It would be nice to be able to edit the coaching pool that you current have, such as name, looks, type of offense/defense philosophy’s and a position focus as well. i would love to see a new coaching system on madden where you can have HC, OC, OC and ST but also have position coaching who have speciality traits. So for instance if you get a HC who wants to have DC who specializes in a 3-4, he can find a DC which specializes in a 3-4 but then he can find a DL coach, LB coach that specializes in 3-4 schemes. And if you want more man coverage you can find a CB/S coach that specializes in that as well and then when you add players who fit your scheme their specialties enhance your players rating and the defenses overall chemistry . Players who don’t fit the teams overall scheme may struggle or your team chemistry on the field mighr reflect that. Players who have multiple scheme fits then become more attractive bc if you get a DC who runs multiple defenses the player is more valuable bc of multiple scheme fit. Same for offense .you should be able to have an OC, OL coach, WR TE coach, RB and OL coach, and based on the HC offensive scheme, if the OC mirrors it should affect the team chemistry. If position coaches mirror the OC type of offense or style of play, it increases team chemistry and gives the players a boost in certain attributes. they should give HC an ability to have a different structure. Traditionally OC, DC and ST or pass game coordinators/ run game coordinators and same on defense. Signing all coaches for multiple years would be good as well. If someone wants to steal your coach for a head coach position it should allowed but if you or a cpu controlled team wants to sign your coach to a lateral position you should be able to decline or accept. Trading for HC should be an option as well. They should also let you have to the ability to resign players not on contract years -vs just on their contract year. They should give you the ability to resign throughout the entire season or offseason. It would be nice to go back to signing free agents in the preseason to more than just one year. That’s not realistic- a lot of players sign for multiple year deals. Coaches and player should be asked to ask for contracts before if they have outplayed their deals or coaches should be able to offer a deal before their have a contract year. Madden has gotten very lazy in franchise mode and the realness has reduced every year and since there are no other games to compete it’s like EA /Maddeb don’t care but these are things that could really make Madden franchise mode fun again,
Why can't we just get a functional game?
I highly doubt anyone will ever actually read this, but my therapist said that keeping my frustrations bottled up can lead to a plethora of other health problems, so it's important to air your grievances...even if it's in an empty chat room. Any-who... Now I'm no financial expert, or software developer, or anything even remotely related, but what I AM, is a long time gamer, who isn't difficult to please. Which is why I can't understand why myself, and the Madden community as a whole, is annually given this digital disappointment? Okay, perhaps I'm being too harsh. While I COMPLETELY understand that at the end of the day you guys are a business, who's exists for no other reason, but to make money for the investors, and the only question plaguing investors isn't "are we producing a quality product?" or "Are the customers happy and/or satisfied?". It's "Did they buy it?" and if the answer is "yes", then who cares about the rest. And more often than not, in a free market economy, that's fine because if you're unhappy with any aspect of the product, you can cease to patronize the offending company and give your money to a company that better fits your needs, values their customers, provides a superior service, or whatever. But unfortunately, when it comes to Madden, we, the customers/gamers, are not privvy to such a luxury. I believe that I speak for MANY gamers, when I say that we feel as though we are not valued, and feel almost as though we're being taunted. I find it difficult to believe that developers and decision-makers are completely oblivious to the conundrum faced by madden players world wide. "You have an issue with our game?...Don't buy it. Go purchase it from another developer...oh. That's right...you can't". So you guys know that whether we're still dealing with the same bugs from 5 iterations ago, swear we're not buying it next year, or just **bleep** and moan in an empty forum, like I'm doing now, that next year...we'll be in line, 80 bucks in hand. Which kinda feels like "diet extortion". I honestly just wish I could get a few questions answered. I think that the entire community would appreciate some level of transparency. I PROMISE you, helping us to understand why certain things are the way they are, would do wonders for us all. For instance...a common theme with players, is that we can't understand why the same bugs make their in-game appearance, year after year? Now I'm not going to sit up here and pretend to even remotely grasp the inconceivable complexities of turning zeros and one's into the game we know today, because I don't. But from talking to, interacting with, and scrubbing forums the general consensus is clear. Players care more about a playable, working title, than they do about new features. Look...I get it, you want to make it appear as though you're giving us something fresh and new...[Spoiler Alert] It never feels fresh OR new. Like some things just feel completely counterintuitive. Like why introduce ANYTHING new, with all of the stuff that needs to be fixed? Does that make sense? But this is the basis of all of our frustrations. For instance...The addition of the Sphere of Influence. I think it's great! Awesome addition, in theory...but it's broken. And not only is it broken, but the SAME quests that haven't worked in YEARS (get 3 3rd down stops/Force a fumble on a Boom Stick/Get a goal line stop) STILL don't work! No exaggeration...I've never completed all of the quests in Superstar...EVER. Because there is ALWAYS at least 1 that's impossible to trigger in game. So now not only do I have 4 Head coaches, 3 DCs, 5 S&C coaches, and teammates from long deleted profiles, forcing my current teammates to be "inactive", making them impossible to upgrade, but I still can't complete the same quests I've been unable to complete for no less than the last FIVE iterations. So instead of the Sphere of Influence adding to, and creating a more enjoyable gaming experience, it's just added new bugs to the mix, while compounding the old, creating an overall LESS enjoyable experience. And this is what's frustrating. I would rather you give me this exact game, no other additions, just updated teams and rosters, and use the time that would've been designated for "creating a more immersive experience", for creating a playable, enjoyable game. I don't think you guys understand the gravity of one year giving your loyal fan base a game we can actually play. Anyway...I've gone on far too long. I'm actually ashamed of myself for even HAVING this much to say on the topic. Jesus...is this what my life has been reduced to? 🤦🏾♂️ "Good day, sir...I SAID GOOD DAY!!!"Epic Strategy Items turned into “Quicksell Tim”?
Bought two epic strategy items from the auction house, QB Guru Deep and Lockdown. After purchasing I was not able to equip in lineup and noticed the card graphic was not displaying the attribute boosts associated with the card. The cards weren’t appearing as an option to equip in my lineup, but were visible in my binder. I was not able to equip the items from my binder either. Now, the strategy items are no longer appearing as QB Guru and Lockdown, but instead both read “Quicksell Tim” and have a generic ultimate team card graphic rather than the associated stat boosts. The cards were bought from the auction house for about 100k each, much higher than the 40k Quicksell value for what now appears to be 2 useless cards. Any fixes?
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.Electronic Arts HAS DIED now called Extra Asinine
First off it’s 2026 & we haven’t had audio commentary outside the lines since 2013! How are you called Electronic Arts when you’re so far behind in sports game development & artistic authenticity! It’s been the same copy & paste garbage. I literally refuse to buy the game anymore haven’t in 4 years the only reason I unfortunately know how 0.0 star it is due to my middle brother whose been loyal to buying the brand since we started playing Madden ‘99. We love sports in all its glorious form reality, virtual etc but this is ludacris even the rapper would agree! We praise the TE position & we can’t even pick it as a career position option #Gronk, J. Wit, Tony G, Kelce should all be offended by this. Other player roles as well the O. Line etc for god sake change your name to “Extra Asinine = It’s not in the game” cause it’s literally not everything you think would be put into the most & only hyped version of the #NFL video game more common sense items like audio! This is why y’all were so pressed when #2K had briefly NFL licensing cause they were killing your sales for doing what your brand name didn’t do anymore make a legit game with audio commentary & some stylish art. Y’all act like we don’t see the interviews etc on tv how the hell y’all put in after game interviews with no audio commentary. Y’all lazy & when you start dogging the AI defense in ALL MADDEN the game likes to kick you out of the servers at the end & not give you your accomplishment credits for the W, no turnovers etc. just stop making the game y’all even took out transferring your college players into Madden 26 pathetic EXTRA ASININE ITS NOT GONNA BE IN THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEARS GAME.
EA loses long time paying Customer, 15 years.
Between players being outrun or kept up with by other computer players or real players with a lot less speed, offensive line just plain not blocking at all, running backs that have been put on blocking assignments running up to the line stopping but not covering a hole and not picking up anybody coming through, buying packs that I get to bare minimum if it says 85 plus I only get 85s I just bought my last pack step up pack and usually those are the ones that give decent cards this particular one was the crystal one and those really usually give the good ones I got out of all this in that pack that step up pack all the way up I got besides the ones that are the crystal guys three 90s. The rest were under 90 and and themes like most feared which I'm not going to use anyway none of that matters because you have lost me as a customer I will not buy any more packs put any more money into your game. out of the past 3 years I have put several messages on the bugs the forms everywhere from Builds not being able to move forward in Superstar mode because their position was changed from offense to defense but he was still a defensive player and it glitched never got answered about it and never got fixed still that way Madden 25. All the stuff that's happening this year. The ranking system in showdown squads get up top five number two actually last year and then all of a sudden I don't get RP anymore I get one or two everybody else is still getting up there lots of RP. I wrote many times still haven't been answered and still not fixed. its Madden 26 now in case you didn't realize that was not a typo Madden 25 I'm still not getting RP all in here to Madden 26 at least not what everybody else is getting again doesn't matter because you've lost me as a customer I will not be putting any more money into any of your games cuz you don't give a crap about us The only time you guys answer something is if it has something to do with ultimate team and that's still not fixed it's ridiculous how lopsided that is and how everybody uses glitch plays or glitch builds, we get kicked and still get losses when you're winning I can keep going there's so much wrong with these games and you guys still put them out. hell, Madden 25 and 26 is Madden 24 basically The fact that you put these games out and they're just the same freaking game and you haven't fixed anything on any of them of importance you're adding stupid little stuff and your service still can't handle it getting kicked out all the time. Should sue you for selling unfinished games as fully operational new games. That Madden week that was hilarious adding the extra freaking intro knowing that we get kicked out a lot it's what everybody talks about and we have to go through that whole intro. Back in the day I used to cuz I've been playing Madden ever since it came out I used to love when Madden was coming out with a new one see what they came up with next but over the past 5 years you guys have just destroyed this game a 2.4 or 2.3 is your rating that's freaking ridiculous for Madden anyway you not going to respond to this you're not going to do anything anyway I just want to let you know you lost me as a customer and I put a lot of money into y'all's company so enjoy not having it anymore so signing offTime for EA to get Sued for Fake Bans and Coin wipes with no proof.
Let's get a list of people and do this! Should be millions of people wanting in! It's just a VIDEO GAME! Feels like something else is going on behind the scenes. It's Grand Larceny! Money grab. I play the game within EA parameters. They(EA) created the Floor and Ceiling for auction. So no cheating should be going on there, right? I was up to 88 million coins before they SNATCHED it like the CRIMINALS they are #EA... Enough! Shame on EA
