MADDEN 26-27 IMPROVEMENT IDEAS
This is a thread I wanted to start so everyone on here can have their ideas seen and heard by EA_Shepard and other EA Staff while also having a single, organized place to share them. This in turn makes it easier to read and organize these thoughts in order to pass on to dev teams. Please be respectful and feel free to put down anything you would want to see in a coming update or in newer games to come. I'll start by adding these ideas: Downloadable Rosters & Draft Classes from past years for nostalgic Franchises. Customizable Divisions and Schedules like what is found in CFB (Great for Fantasy). Reincluding the option of Coaching Legends for Coach Mode (Also Great for Fantasy). Possibly reinclude custom facial uploads for custom coaches in Coach Mode. Revamped and reincluded Player/Owner Modes. - Ultimately to summarize this: For Owner Mode, I'd like to see Team Builder tied more exclusively to a new version of this where customization of everything from the ground up is key for the most customizable experience ever. For Player Mode, I'd like what little works well within Superstar to be tied to a new, revamped Player Mode, where the storylines and cutscenes are more included here, and less in other modes. This would include being able to choose an existing player within a franchise, and focus exclusively on their career; OR, create a new player and start as you would within Superstar. I'd like to see Team Builder weaved into relocation for all online modes and somehow introduced into offline. Inclusion of holding the L2/LT to Switch Stick to minimize switching by accident, especially while trying to pass rush. Include more cities and teams for Relocation. Cities where franchises already exist like Miami, LA, or Detroit, as well as new ones like Boston, Phoenix, or Birmingham. More Stadium options for Relocation. Reinclude Build a Stadium within Team Builder. I'm talking from scratch...not just editing the field. Reinclude the ability to edit and create more custom uniform combinations. Within the Edit Rosters section of the Creation Center, more flexibility to edit a player's contract, abilities, etc, would be nice. Better Training Camp - Introduce some ability to gain physical STR, SPD, AGI, COD, by introducing some of the game found in Superstar like the 3Cone, Weightlifting, 40YD, etc. - This is where mini-games shine. Make games open for more players to train and have them more focused on gaining skill points and less on XP and Rookie Reps. This is a great way to help maintain the physical ability of Vets, or take your high-level Superstars to the next level. Revamp Weekly Training - Make this less focused on mini-games and tie it more to Practice Mode and gaining XP/Rookie Reps. The way the have Wear & Tear worked into this is nice; Now just optimize it. Optimize Coach Central and Coaching Abilities. - It's a bit to type but my thoughts on this can be found in my "M26 Franchise Feedback thread" thread. I feel that's a pretty good start for now. Hopefully this is helpful for anyone that reads and I look forward to seeing more thoughts and ideas shared here!
Rushing Record Breaker and Passing Record Breaker not working.
EA_Kent i don't if anyone is gonna read this, but the reason these trophies/achievements are not working is because the Yardage tracker in franchise mode stops tracking yardage after reaching about 1,023 yards, effectively preventing the trophies/achievements from unlocking, can you guys maybe try to fix the yardage tracker before abandoning this game?

Dear staff at EA: I am reaching out not just as a voice for myself, but as a voice for all the trophy hunters out here. We are desperately waiting for you to fix these glitched trophies. I have been a Madden supporter for many years. And I've enjoyed going back to college football and I also got back into Battlefield. You guys do make great games, and I've loved supporting your games. But this is getting to the point you are going to lose a chunk of your player base if you do not make these trophies attainable. Your attention to this game...these trophies, will affect not only my decision making on purchasing games in the future, but it will be the same for many others. If you are not willing to fix trophies for this game now, will it be like this in the future for a different game? There are two reasons I play games. 1) fun with my friends and 2) trophies. I strive for both, because I am proud of earning trophies and showing off my platinums. There are many others like me, and we love playing your games, but I am hoping you see our view on this and repair these broken trophies for us. I plead to you, as the voice for many other gamers, please fix these two trophies and make the platinum attainable. Please show us that you care for us trophy hunters and our reward to you for doing so will be continued support for more of your games.Error when buying Redux pack
Unable to buy Redux Fantasy Pack - evvvvvvvvvvery single Saturday there’s this problem, or something like it… I purchase the points for the pack, go to open it and receive and error stating “unable to complete transaction. Please contact customer service if this persists”. Which is funny it says to do that because contacting customer service is about as impossible as fixing this problem myself would be. Anyways, this problem now - please address, thanks.
Online H2H Errors
Hi everyone, We're looking into the more recent reports we've been seeing of errors when trying to play a game in Online H2H. We've locked the original thread about these errors to help us better keep track of the reports that have been coming in since last month's title update. If you're still getting errors since the 19th of November, please reply to this thread with the following details: Which platform are you playing on? What is your Xbox Gamertag, PSN ID, EA Account ID, Steam ID, or Nintendo ID? What is the error message you've been seeing? Roughly when did the errors start happening for you? Are you only getting the error with Online H2H, or is it happening with other game modes? This info will be helpful for us to continue looking into these errors. Thank you!PC Madden 26 MUT lag issue
I have mentioned this before but there is no response. Every pc player is experiencing this issue. Every few games you have to restart the entire game. It is unplayable after 2-3 games. Someone at EA please respond for the love of god you guys PC has been so bad all year what are you doing to try and resolve this? Also, on kickoffs the 2 farthest positions from the middle run into the sidelines every kickoff. This needs to be fixed it’s ridiculous. It happens every game of MUT. To answer your Questions I’m on a LAN connection 1000 up and down. 5060 graphics card top of the line AMD CPU and 32 gb ram. This is not on my side.EA done went in the wrong direction from John Madden Vision
Yall better stop listening to streamers and listen to some of these other people that buy your game too streamers are just making the game better for they self you got to many people under here complaining about the game when them numbers get to dropping just know the people voice there opinion you didn’t listenOffline multi-player multi-franchise
Bring back the best feature this game ever had. I want to draft seperate teams in the same division with my sons in my house so we can sim seasons and play our head to heads and see wlof 1 can with the Bowl like I did my entire youth with my brother and friends. I'm a single video game player, Madden only for decades and removing this feature years ago really sucks - the game was better in the late 90s and 2000s than it is now because of that feature. Long overdue fix
Madden 27
I'm sure someone is hiding these, but if you're in some way sensible, please take some advice, and dont buy the next game. I'd be willing to bet that streamers put in more hours in the game during drop week than the devs who test it. Which is why you'll keep being disappointed after your hype from getting a new roster update wears off. Just dont be a fool, to be honest. Unless you literally can't live without playing this game, which I'd advise you to talk to someone who actually cares about you if that's the case, dont buy this slop. If you have the willpower, hold out three months, and you'll have an infinitely better game in GTA 6. There's nothing Rockstar could do to GTA to make it worse than a Madden, in my opinion.AI In Madden, a solution we can all get behind.
There has to be a way to make a more intuitive AI Defense. If you have all this real game data on past years; then it should be no problem to write a program where the AI predicts the next play the user will run based on the personnel group, yardage, clock situation, momentum, crowd, and past real game data. Not user data! This is important. If the AI uses real game methodology that gives the user a chance to be unpredictable even in our normal play calling sequences. In MUT and Single Game mode we don't want the AI to know that I've run a play 405 times for 20.1 average. But maybe in Franchise/Season mode it would be nice for the AI to "watch film" on our previous games to make us have to switch up our play calling by the end of the season. I know that that it would be far more enjoyable to be able to play against a slightly predictive defense than one that is way overpowered like the current All-Madden mode. Give us a slider to set the predictability. Just a thought
