I don’t care what EA comes out and says about next year. I will never purchase another Madden for the rest of my life. I’ve skipped the last two because yknow it’s Madden. But I figured this year I’d give it a shot. $70 down the drain. How is technology better than ever before I can’t play this game for more than 30min without it crashing? Oh yeah because this dogshit, scum of the earth corporation just keeps stacking code on top of code without actually fixing anything. The main menus are so fucking laggy, the announcers say the wrong names, hurry up offense is broken in super star mode. There’s more issues I’ve encountered that I can’t think of off the top of my head as well.
I LITERALLY can’t believe they got away with releasing this game for $70 I genuinely feel robbed

I was super disappointed with last year's game. I love Superstar mode, and felt like the mode had no bite in M26. Did they fix it this year?

Thanks.

This is The single worst madden I’ve ever played. Playing H2H is the worst experience I’ve ever had. Player speeds are obsolete due to the fact that secondary players can “hand fight” or just plane and simple hold you the whole way down the field, quarterbacks are extremely in accurate, corners need to be nerfed in speed and coverage abilities. They punish speed players like Gibbs.

This is an awful game. 26 was the most fun I’ve ever had in madden I just can’t believe the massive step back this game has taken. I won’t be touching this game unless a massive patch comes in and fixes everything

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.

THE CATCH METER IS THE WORST THING THEYVE EVER ADDED

Pictured is Madden 25. I really don't like how they downgraded Madden 26/27 to the "light mode" version. I can only guess that they were worried about flack from CBS or FOX.

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.

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

If not, do we know if he will or when he will be added? I'd just like a guarantee that I get to play with AD and Myles before purchasing the game. Without any mods/user rosters.

I noticed the Titans were consistently getting more yards than my dolphins team which was a better overall, so I decided to run a test. I downloaded a roster where the entire league was a 99 overall and gave the dolphins and titans the exact same playbook and scheme. I also fired every coach on the titans and hired the worst coaches I could. I decided to run this sim 10 times to see if the Titans still got more passing yards than the Dolphins. These are the results-
Titans avg- 5,235 yds, 613 att
Dolphins avg- 3,984 yds, 544 att
The Dolphins best season was 300 yards lower than the Titans worst season. Is there any way to explain how a roster with the exact same playbook, scheme, roster, and opponents could put up such different stats? Or did Madden just program in the game that the Dolphins will have worse QB play?

I swear Madden has some of the most blatant pass interference I’ve ever seen and the game acts like nothing happened.
My receiver will get hit before the ball gets there, get completely shoved off his route, or have a defender run straight through him, and there’s no flag. Meanwhile, if I barely touch a receiver on defense, it feels like the game is ready to call everything.
I know the NFL misses calls sometimes, but Madden seems to have this issue constantly. At this point I’ve started expecting defenders to mug my receivers without consequences.
Am I tripping, or does Madden rarely call pass interference compared to how often it actually happens in-game? Curious if other people notice this or if I’m just salty after a few bad games.

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

Anyone on PS5 right now and want to get the squads challenges done? Psn/EA ID: ItsDReal87

Just a few highlights with my Dolphins.

Current online record 45-13.

Rank: Champion 3

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.

This is probably the funniest thing to happen to me and a friend in madden in a long time

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

As ttile says as NMS player(EA PRO edition) where can i upgrade my team cheaper.as half seahawk chem.Can upgrade ovr a bit more but currently trying upgrade some cards and unreal chem.

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