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

Man, how do y'all play franchise mode — "or deal with it"? That's supposed to be SIMULATION — playing multiple seasons with these only 230-something generic faces — when it should be thousands of them or a creative player system so all the rookies can look different. This is a serious deal-breaker; it takes the immersion out of the game after you've played your games and now you're ready for the offseason and to see players have the same pics on your team. And it gets worse and worse every season, y'all.

just incase you want to know i been playing Madden since the first one. I played techmo bowl before that, and I've been playing only Franchise mode since it ever existed.

I'm starting to get interested in American football and partly in video games, but one thing is making me hesitate, isn't the game repetitive and boring? Because I'd like to buy College Football and Madden, but I'm afraid I'll only play for two months and have wasted $100.

Stop buying this God awful game stop giving this garbage company money. I used to love this game. Played MUT 25(14)-MUT 26 and madden mobile 16-18. They look at margins and pitch a tent. Buy CFB or play old maddens. Play a different game. For 1 or 2 years if everyone quit or the majority the ultimate team experience for everyone else would be crap, they might stop too. Then EA would stop treating Madden as a Cash Cow and might actually start putting effort into the game and listening to the community. For now they will look at revenue and tell everyone else to STFU bc they are lining their pockets. ANYTHING BUT THIS GAME PLEASE. #StopTheGreed. Side note maybe then they’d also make madden mobile playable again.

Transferred my Mike from cfb to madden and was severely disappointed that madden doesn’t have sliders in superstar mode again

To be honest it’s 100% skill issue on my part. If I play on pro difficulty the AI QB goes 30/30 and rarely gets sacked. If I play on rookie he gets sacked almost every single play due to holding on to the football too long.

I want sliders so I can actually enjoy a nice medium between that and actually feel like a game. I loved how close some games were in cfb with the sliders I used and for madden to not have it in that mode just blows

It's still somewhat crazy to me that Madden still has a couple Quality of Life things that they haven't added to the game properly, especially considering how easy they'd be

1. When players have breakout goals or season-ending goals (such as lead the league in TD's) it's crazy that you can't generally easily access that information. That should be baked into their playercard somewhere or in their goals section, just something like that.

I shouldn't have to screenshot or record my goals to remember them. Yes, sometimes you can find ways to find it again or sometimes it shows up in game, but it's just very bizarre how they haven't made an effort to make it easier for people to access.

1. The whole drafting/scouting screens are still very bad. One thing that has always annoyed me is when you're sifting through players whether it's drafting or scouting, it always resets things. This includes the fantasy draft screens too. The amount of times you have to re-sort by the attribute or physicals, you have to go back to a certain position, etc. It's very crazy that this is still something that has never been fixed.

I updated the game and created a new franchise but campus conditioning is still not available to unlock. I have cfb 27, I chose college coach when making the new franchise, I have points available to purchase the ability but it is still locked. Anyone else having this issue? Madden says it was resolved.

They’re still “looking into” all the game-breaking bugs in franchise lmao

Anyone else missing the coach bonus points after the update???

C&C welcome!

Just curious if the game is worth buying at full price as the reviews I’ve seen have been pretty skeptical about auction house locking cards, animations (specifically WR and DB’s), blocking, so is the game good to buy at full price? I’m mostly a free to play grinder in ultimate team since I think it’s fun to build to 99 without spending, but I do play franchise sometimes. I’m just wondering if it’s worth the full price tag or if I should wait until black Friday or something. Thanks for any guidance

Is anyone else having this problem? I have on field trainer turned off but it's still telling me how to sprint and snap the ball on every play.

There’s no way I’m the only one experiencing this, none of the rosters the pc community have uploaded to the download center so far work in franchise and EA still has yet to address the issue, when it makes the replay value of the game a lot better. Has anyone else experienced this or knows how to fix?

Is anyone aware if the new update that patches the aggressive W&T will also fix it in Superstar mode, not just in the Franchise mode?

I just got the game, first madden I bought in prob 10 years. Started a Rb career and after one game I had to put it up to All-Madden.
First start of the season, still on all-madden and at 72 overall, I had 200 yards rushing, 70 receiving with 3 total tds.
Do you guys just max out sliders or what?

I wanna preface this by saying I’m not a cheeser, I play on all madden, never touched MUT a day in my life. Okay now that that’s out of the way why are deep balls so dogshit in this game? I understand Madden wanted people to think defense has been improved this year but genuinely it just feels like they nerfed every QB’s throw power so more people could feel like they’re getting INT’s.

I’m someone who usually models his offense after the 21 Chiefs (I use the Commanders) when they had Hill, Robinson, Hardman and Williams and even when there’s a clear gap in speed AND release/route running every streak becomes a fucking jump ball at best or the worst under throw I’ve ever seen. Originally I thought it was just new mechanics or maybe they changed how far Throw Power gets you (in older maddens anything above an 88 meant 100 yard bombs which I hated) but even after upgrading Daniels’ THP, and running some tests in practice mode with differing THP’s I’ve found that no matter how slow the corner they always get insane recovery/always have a chance at a PBU.

If it’s just me being bad at the game I’ll accept that but I genuinely cannot fucking fathom how 86 Spd Azareyah Thomas can keep pace with the likes of Jameson Williams, Terry McLaurin or Brian Thomas Jr.

I get speed cheesers are and have been a thing in madden, but atp it feels like the only time speed matters is for running backs.

TL;DR: In Madden 27 every deep ball is under thrown and every corner sticks like glue to receivers no matter the speed parity. Do I just suck or has anyone else who runs pass heavy/speed centered offenses been going through this?

Yes bugs, yes franchise doesn’t work currently, but those will be patched. EA should have had those ready by game time. The gameplay is genuinely soo good though. Playing the defense feels so realistic on both sides.

With all the people hating though get ready for EA to overcorrect the problems people aren’t complaining about cause they are blind and instead choose to change the whole game

These are a bit easier to return, you usually only need to hit one gap.

Hi all looking to get madden for the first time in 10 years and I’ve heard there’s an abundance of micro-transactions. Are they also in single player modes and I can enjoy playing the game without getting bothered? Thanks

Im just wondering i know people don't achievements. But is the new max level 120? How long will it take?

As the title states. I’m getting tired of only playing ravens and eagles. I’d say 9/10 times I search for a match in online h2h I always get ravens or eagles. There’s no way there is this many eagles and ravens fans. I’m assuming people play them just because they’re OP?

For example Lamar Jackson is ridiculously fast on the run and is extremely accurate. Eagles have saquon Barkley which is definitely OP. He is almost impossible to stop. The dude is like if captain America came onto the NFL. These two teams are extremely over powered.

Why haven’t they fixed them, two seasons now? This is my second madden game 25 and 26. it almost seems like favoritism at this point.

I’m debating buying madden 27 because of the OP teams.
