I thought it was over so I super simmed and somehow the cpu recovered the onside kick I wish I didnt sim that 😭😭

Just ended the draft and the jets have 13 QBs lmao

He had a fucking helmet on at the beach put him in the HOF 😂

Bro didn’t even realize he had the ball

This is the first year of my Raiders franchise by the way

The Texans Trade:

Nico Collins

‘28 3rd Rounder

‘28 5th Rounder

‘28 7th Rounder

Texans Receive:

Chris Lindstrom

THEN THE NEXT WEEK

The 49ers Trade:

Nick Bosa

‘28 2nd Rounder

‘28 7th Rounder

49ers Receive:

Chris Lindstrom

This means that after being traded in back to back weeks, Chris Lindstrom alone got teams:

Nico Collins

Nick Bosa

‘28 2nd Rounder

‘28 3rd Rounder

‘28 5th Rounder

(2) ‘28 7th Rounders

I only noticed because I saw Nick Bosa got traded to the Texans and thought they traded Danielle Hunter for him, nope. They just have all 3 now.

I got tired of fantasy draft classes full of made-up players, so I built something that generates a real one instead. Pick a year, and you get that entire draft as an importable .mdc.

What it does

• Every draft from 1936 to 2026 — 32,140 players.
• Ratings come from what players actually did in the NFL.
• Blind scouting: classes open with every overall, dev trait and attribute hidden, so you can scout without spoiling yourself if you want! Toggle spoilers when you want to see the dev traits and overalls
• Real faces attached to the players from where I could find them.
• Era-correct gear and builds [Work in Progress]

Happy to take requests. If you spot a player who looks wrong, tell me who and I'll fix it.

Base punt power. Martin has 86 kick power but it’s done this for me in multiple franchises

I’m thinking maybe 94 overall with a X-Factor.

Dumb question. I got Madden 26 at the end of last season for cheap and haven’t touched it much other than franchise. How do I literally just play simple competitor H2H online. When I hit “online H2H” it only gives me play with friends. I have game pass premium

So I love the good ol nickel - 33 formation, aka the old school 335 normal. It's unfortunately only in like 5 playbooks - all alternate ones, which I dont really like the rest of the stuff in them as much.

Anyways, just downloaded the game, and started a franchise and I am using the Giants defense, for sure had it selected prior to game 1. Somehow to my surprise, Nickel 33 was in there. In my next game, it was nowhere to be found, but I had like 34 bear or something with a different name than the database shows online.

So I'm confused, is this something about the playsheets thing I saw once?? What else do I need to know about new changes to franchise mode if I havent played in a few years? Also, can I change my imported draft class once selected?

Anybody norice in franchise its broken bunch of long snappers in competition for the award

Ok I just finished season 1 of my franchise and most of offseason. Why is the draft logic so bugged? Carolina and Houston drafted top 15 quarterbacks in the draft. For why? Both there current starters (young and stroud) have QB of the future tags? There is also only about a two overall rating point difference between the two.

Played a guy that would go under center play action bunch formation and send Jameson Williams or gibbs on verts. No matter what my safeties would bite on the PA and get burnt. Tried setting them up very deep, predicted pass, no deep passes, corner matchups by speed etc and nothing worked. Blitz couldn't get there in time. Gibbs or Williams would have 2 steps on everyone no matter what. Has anyone experienced this and what is the solution?

I need 3 more ppl in the league im doing. Draft starts Saturday..Just for fun and bragging.

so you know how when you call a play during a game, it shows you how many times you have called that play throughout the game or season in total? has anyone experienced where it keeps resetting to 0 no matter how many times you call the play. Half the plays reset back to 0. For me it's annoying because I like to call different plays. if you have experienced this, have you been able to fix it? if so how?

Whats the difference between the 'Purple' Franchise Points and the 'Green' Franchise Points?

The green points seem to be for Coaching Abilities. I have 450 Purple Franchise Points and i havent used them once/ . Are they for Ultimate Team only?

In my franchise I benched all my star players during the preseason. Started the regular season and they all wanted trades. I just delegated it bc I didn’t feel like cancelling each single one.

Well now I get trade offers every week and it carried over to the following season. I went to the player card, no option there to remove them. Nothing in the trade menu either.

any idea what I’m missing?

I’ve been playing madden a very long time. Obviously, there’s been a downturn in quality that’s been evident dating back to probably the 7th gen consoles (PS3, 360).

But this version has been more than challenging, and for this post I’ll merely inquire about the passing. I’m a big franchise mode player, and nowadays I really only have time to play on offense. SuperSimming defense and pass blocking are issues I have as well, but why in the world is it so hard to complete a pass?

The receivers get touched, drop. Accuracy at best is inconsistent even if you’re throwing from a clean pocket, good footwork, receiver open, etc. Route running seems to be in the same boat, I’ve seen below average overall CBs lock up receivers like it’s Revis Island. I don’t want it to be insanely easy, but I don’t want it to be impossible either. I have tinkered around with sliders, coaching adjustments, playbooks, I have raised and lowered player overalls/attributes and it’s the same results. I’ve gone down difficulties as well but it just makes it stupid easy.

Are scripted animations in gameplay superseding player overalls, momentum, etc? Is the AI to the point to where it’s just doing whatever it takes to beat you? I just don’t understand. If someone has some slider set ups that may help or something I’m missing, I’m all ears.

Just uploaded the full deep 2027 draft class. Assuming Mestemaker goes in 2028 but add him if you’d like. Gamertag theoracle238219 or search 2027FullClass. Will work on 2028 class next.

I was stunned the replay is even crazier.. Wondering if anyone has seen that this year yet...

I enjoyed 26 but 27 has been awful so far for online h2h. Guys don’t follow their assignments or stick to called coverages, same old crossing route problems but worse than last year and I’ve never once seen a DPI call in about 50 played games. The amount of INTs and drops is silly too.

This year’s game is just not fun and feels completely like AI is doing 99% of the “work” which is inconsistent to say the least. Super disappointed that they’ve managed to make the game feel worse and I don’t know much about game programming or physics engines but it doesn’t feel at all like playing football. What a bore. I may just sell it on marketplace for $50 and go back to 26 as it was more enjoyable despite its flaws.
