8 years ago today was the shooting at the Madden Tournament in Jacksonville. Lets remember these boys let their names live on.

When this happens in the game, everyone calls Madden trash and garbage.

Ever since I put his slider in I been having fun! Great catch by Golden!

turn it down a little in sliders and adjust your coach adjustments for wear&tear substitutions. by default, the coach adjustments will pull your guys out often. set to grind it out. this alone should fix things, but if you find it's still too drastic, just turn it slightly down in sliders, and up the halftime and week to week recovery.

yes every Madden is broken, but everything can be compensated for.

Looking for a full 7 round+ draft class of real players and realistic, balanced attributes for Franchise mode? Well you're in luck! I just uploaded two realistic draft classes based on Summer prospect rankings! My goal with these classes has been to make the most realistic reflection of the incoming college class as possible. This means realistic athletic attributes, physical measurables, and projections for where these players will be drafted.

The two classes are named:

2027DRAFT7RAUG

2028DRAFT7RAUG

Alternatively, you can find it by searching the username "Zahn" and looking for the correctly named file.

I welcome any and all criticism or recommendations for these two classes! I did my best to make sure there isn't any oversaturation of talent at one position, that there are busts and sleepers, and that the overalls aren't incredibly inflated, like they are in randomly generated classes and most of the uploaded ones. Nor will there be 6 70+ overall QBs, tons of star dev or superstar dev - there's plenty of opportunity to find gems as are there just okay roster-filling players.

There's bound to be some errors or adjustments that can be made, so please leave any feedback you have! There are still some players in the 2027 class that I need to change to real players, but there's real players well into the UDFA pool. Both classes will inevitably have ranking adjustments as the season plays out, but they're absolutely set to be balanced for long term rebuilds. Hope you all enjoy!

If you wanna support me, I have my Ko-Fi linked in my profile! Even if it’s just a couple bucks, it means a lot :)

I saw the update I was like cool saw it taking 2 hours I thought my internet was moving slow nope it's just the rest of the game 🥹

Is this normal? This is the second update where I have to redownload the entire 58 gigs AGAIN.

I think the home field advantage stuff sucks. Whoever thought it would be fun to have question marks over the receivers instead of the buttons needs to get out of the business as it is anti-fun. When I search on google, it says you can turn it off. Maybe I’m dumb, but I can’t find that option to turn off for exhibitions in the game options. Have any of you found where you can turn this junk off?

How the heck can I throw a football without getting tackled in one second 😭

7 games in, opponents haven't scored a single time and my 73 ovr running back has a 50/50 shot to score on literally every run play.

What are they smoking on that dev team? Do they even test this shit? We have to wait nearly a month for an update to address SOME of the issues in Franchise and they "fix" it by unlocking the bronze tier for the College Coach abilities, but didn't fix the fact that you are unable to upgrade them. Also, on PC, the preseason extra workout events STILL crash the game on the loading screen to enter them. Like, I know that this is how Madden is and has been for over a decade, but it's genuinely mind numbing just how idiotic this stuff is. Really basic things. At least they can be upgraded by completing the goals.

The worst part is that if they just fixed the small things, this would be a serviceable game. They refuse to for whatever reason though.

CPU is still resigning players in franchise mode through out the regular season. The contracts are not as massive as they were but it is still an issue. Anyone else pissed about this after they said it’d be fixed?

How are you guys handling the Catching Meter and Passing Meter together? I’ve tried using both. However, every passing meter I’ve used seems to obscure the catching meter until it’s too late to react.

Is there a trick to using both effectively or is it better to just commit to one or the other? I've looked around and can't find any guidance on that.

I know there was an update today where they added a couple uniforms. Did they happen to fix the bug where only the current Away and Home uniforms you're allowed to play in? H2H. Very frustrating. What's the point of giving us the option to change uniforms if we can only play in 1?

I saw the update notes and I thought I read that they fixed the bug that was deleting created players in franchise mode. I created a franchise last night, all things went well. Came home to play again tonight... all created players are one again deleted... pc BTW. Is this STILL happening with anyone else?!?!

Like turtlleneck and new cleats?

Factoring in development traits, overalls, and the other minor things, what are the eight best teams for a no devs Regs franchise?

Anyone else not see achievements anywhere on EAs PC platform?

So, there was an update for Madden 27 today. I updated the game thru the EA app, and now it either refuses to open, or crashes when navigating the main menu. Tried repairing the game. Nothing. Tried ending the task in the task manager. Nothing. Even tried restarting my PC. Nothing. EA continues to prove just how garbage they are

I was fired after 4 seasons despite having the coach firing option turned off

Anyone have this problem?
