EA Please Update The Colleges in Madden
Hi, I have been buying and playing Madden Football since Madden 5. And I love to play Franchise Mode, I must say it has improved over the years, But there is one thing that really annoys me that has never changed. The College Teams available in Player creation/or player edit. I think this has been the same since the game started, and there a lot of colleges that do not play college football any more, and quite a few that are missing. So Please EA if you look at these. Please for Madden 27 can you update the colleges, so it has all the FBS,FCS,Div II & Div III teams. and remove the teams that are now not playing college football. Thank you.
Feature Request – “NFL Eras Mode” for Madden NFL 27
I would like to propose a new Franchise feature for future Madden titles: an “NFL Eras Mode,” inspired by the successful Eras system in NBA 2K. This mode would allow players to begin a Franchise in a selected historical NFL era and progress forward through time with authentic league evolution. The goal is to create a living football history experience where users can relive, rewrite, or completely reshape NFL history. Core Concept: Players select a starting era (e.g., 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s) and begin Franchise Mode with: Real teams, uniforms, and rules from that time period Accurate rosters for that era Era-specific presentation (broadcast overlays, commentary tone, stadium atmosphere) Key Features: Historical Draft Classes Real incoming rookie classes by year (e.g., 1998 Peyton Manning / Ryan Leaf draft, 2000 Tom Brady draft) Ability to follow or alter real draft outcomes Dynamic League Evolution Rule changes over time (e.g., passing emphasis, defensive restrictions) Salary cap growth and contract evolution Team relocations and expansions (e.g., Texans, Rams, Raiders) Era-Based Presentation Broadcast packages styled by decade Commentary referencing historical context Visual filters and stadium authenticity Franchise What-If Scenarios Rewrite history: prevent dynasties, create new ones Control multiple teams or simulate league-wide outcomes Legacy Tracking Track alternate NFL history across decades Compare user-generated outcomes vs real-world records Why This Matters: This feature would significantly deepen Franchise Mode by adding historical immersion, replayability, and long-term engagement. It would appeal to both older fans who want to relive past eras and younger players interested in NFL history. It also creates a unique differentiation opportunity for Madden by expanding beyond modern-day simulation into a full historical football sandbox. Thank you for your consideration.
Please Fix Fantasy Draft Display/Interface
Pleeeeeaaaaase Snake order should be the default Ages should be displayed at all times Graphics are too big, reducing the viewable players per screen Overall Grade should be the default sort, and all players should be listed (can’t yet tell if this second issue persists in ‘26. In ‘25 players would not be listed until the CPU deemed them reasonable for selection) All traits and ratings should be displayed for all players. Scrollable and sortable. The current setup with three traits/ratings chosen specific to each player make displaying any ratings at all pointless. There is no congruence in columns or even on position pages. Even if you sort by a specific trait, the ratings are scattered about the page. RG sorting is legitimately broken. To see overall, you must sort by age. For example. Allow for viewing of previous picks. Anybody have any others?Franchise Suggestions
This is going to be entirely customization based as I was able to kind of get a deep dive into franchise. -Generic faces: They NEED to go. I was messing around making a draft class and I exited after 5-6 players. Half of the faces are unusable due to them improperly fitting in helmet or being a straight up eye sore. I feel as if many people made comments about how poor the hairstyles are on the generic face in recent years. instead of fixing them or making new ones, they just put caps on half of them. Easy and lazy way out in my opinion. My SUGGESTION, get the CFB faces into Madden. It's been recently brought to my attention by a content creator on X that the system in Madden and CFB as far as the generic faces are different. However, make new faces at least. Or actually take the time to rework the same CFB system into Madden. While not being able to create a player in CFB sucks, when editing and customization generic recruits I rarely see players with the same face which adds a huge depth of authenticity that Madden has never had. Im aware that there are thousands of generic faces in CFB but to replace the 200 in Madden with refreshed ones would be a much needed change that has been ignored for a decade. I genuinely do not understand how the devs are proud and happy putting that out in each product each year. Every sports game EA included has a face builder of some sort. Not even asking for that much. -Player styles missing in draft class players: Editing any recruit in CFB gives u a variety of options for QB stances, RB/CB/WR/LB stances etc. Madden has this as well in superstar so again why was franchise neglected. This adds authenticity in CFB and superstar. Seeing it blatantly ignored in franchise is disgraceful. -Body styles: The other massive eyesore are how poorly the body styles look in Madden. Again, CFB offers the same (thin, lean, standard, muscular, heavy) body styles that look 100000x better than they do in Madden. The standard body type in Madden is way too bulky compared to CFB for example. -Helmet tilt/fitting: Pretty sure this was addressed in CFB and all the helmets fit real and generic players nearly perfectly. Madden makes created players have no neck and huge shoulders. Eyesore. Helmets dont fit properly and are way too big. If you asked me how i describe customization in Madden id say bland, generic, and unauthentic. Things people have been saying for years and still hasnt been acknowledged. Im sick of it. Im sick of getting responses about how frustrating it is and not seeing any changes made or even acknowledging that its a work in progress. The Madden team lets me down year after year.Crazy
The fact that when they roll these trailers and post out before the game drops they don’t say shi about MUT they only advertise Franchise/superstar mode ( which makes fans buy the game ) if they had a MUT trailer no body would buy this game . Soon as the season gets underway they say **bleep** superstar mode ( which has been broken for about majority of the game ) and Franchise ( which hasn’t been touched since week 16 ) but continuously update MUT daily is crazy .Created draft class
Last night I spent hours making an actual good draft class because all the others are super outdated. Now when I draft someone ex: Mendoza when he plays he’s a generic black character with no accessories. And for black players they become the generic white player ex: LT Overton. They appear as intended when I go to edit them, but they appear the generic version in game. PLEASE FIX!! The draft class is under BiggestJohnson55 if anyone wants to tryFuture Madden (Franchise mode) wishlist
So I’ve been playing Madden for a long time. I wanna say since 08 or 09, it’s come a long way since then and where we are now, I really wanted to make a wishlist of some sort so here it is. player retirements. I find it almost heart crushing when a player in your franchise retires. In today’s league there have been more players playing around with the idea of playing longer than the normal age retirement. And with Madden seemingly being open to having more commissioner mode type abilities I think this would be a HUGE addition. I’m not asking for the ability to bring back someone like Peyton Manning. But the ability to bring back players who were already apart of your franchise save would be a good move. It would stop the feeling of wanting to create or restart a franchise just because on player retired. This is probably a big thing for me because like I said earlier, Madden seems open to having some sort of commissioner mode. If you look at college football 26 you can do things like create the schedules. edit the rules and really just make your league yours and play the game the way you want to play it. In Madden so far, you can do things like undo free agency signings turn off salary cap turn off injuries. So there are already a ton of commissioner type abilities I would like for EA sports to really add to this. Rebuild Stadium or Stadium management overhaul. This has been stale for far too long. I know that EA has been working towards stuff like new stadiums and more abilities/options with that stuff. This just feels like something that should be talked about more. GM/Owner mode. I’m not exactly sure why they would take that out of the game in the first place. Maybe it was some sort of we need to redo it and do it right so we’re gonna take it out type of thinking regardless I hope that this does find its way back into the game instead of just merging it all together unless I’m mistaken, there is no way to hire a different head coach when you start your franchise. If there is a way, it is not clear. Pro Bowl. I do think that they will be bringing this back. I think that they are rebuilding it due to the change the NFL has made to it. But I must say I don’t agree with making it the way the NFL has it. I would keep it as a normal game like it was no one‘s actually playing in it. No one‘s actually getting hurt. I think that they would do more harm than good. Changing it to the way the NFL has it now. I think they could do a lot more maybe add the NFL honors Moore presentation really do something that shows we’re in playoff season. Also, adding in the NFL Hall of Fame game would be a great addition. Madden cover athlete. I think as you progress through your seasons in franchise mode, a player should be selected for the next Madden cover so for example, if I’m in the year 2030 and Drake Maye has a historic season then he should be selected for that years Madden cover. This kind of goes back to player retirements in a way, but being able to play past seasons would be really cool. It doesn’t have to be a franchise mode thing, but just the ability to play prior seasons with those players in those teams like the 2015 Carolina Panthers or the Seattle Seahawks Legion of boom era would be really cool to play. Playing certain Super Bowl moments like the Patriots in Seattle on the 1 yard line to win the game or the Nick Foles moment so many things like that would be really cool to add into the game. So this is my wish list for future Madden’s obviously I know some of these things might already be in the works or they already have their eyes on doing some of the stuff, but I just figured that this would be a good way for me too express how I’ve been feeling about franchise mode over the past few Madden video games. Hopefully some of the stuff gets added. I think my biggest request would be the player retirements. I think that would go a long way and make a lot of people happy while they work on other things.Franchise Ultimate Team...
Hear me out...What if there is a Franchise Ultimate team (FUT) where instead of spending money on whatever it is they spend money on for MUT, we can buy the fixes to the issues we have. It could even be a collection, kinda like a Go-fund-me, but for like getting stats to track properly...Say that costs $500. Maybe if we give them more money they will actually listen to us? I am not saying this is the best idea in the world, but it is something. I need the community to let me know what you think. I want to know how much you would pay for the things you want fixed in the game. Here are some things I would pay to have fixed: Player Physique Uniform options Stats tracking properly Players missing when sorting in the roster and stats (sorting by speed or any other attribute, catches) Equipment Editing Those are just the first ones that came to my head. Keep in mind, these have to be things that can be easily addressed in this Madden. Please let me know what you think. Have a great day, Josh
Are these Relocation Uniforms for real?!
EA_DanaBEA_DennisEA_MahoniamichelrespawnEA_EirykEA_SutiiEA_Kent Can someone explain what’s going on with relocation uniforms? I just relocated my team and made them the Shamrocks. The uniforms are completely inverted and look terrible. The white jerseys have white letter and green outline, so you can’t even see the numbers on the field. The green jerseys have green numbers with a green outline, so you can hardly see those letters and numbers. This is a really bad look. It makes it seem like nobody at EA looked at any of these uniforms. This needs to be fixed with the next update. What on earth… I have attached screenshots of this garbage. The home uniforms clearly need a white ring around the neck and white numbers. The away uniform clearly needs green numbers. Seriously…who did this? Lol
