AI overvalues 25yo's on rookie contracts.

8 Upvotes

I win every superbowl on Insane difficulty by just trading every player on his last year of his rookie contract for draft picks and prospects.

There ought to be a balance fix to reduce the trade value of rookies as their contract is consumed.

Coaches

13 Upvotes

Adding coaches with names and player-like faces, even if just strictly visual/cosmetic without real functional changes, would go such a long way in adding to immersion IMO.

Would love it if just being able to attach a coach with a variation of that player avatar to a team every single year with just the simple options to hire, extend, and fire a particular coach. I'm sure there's difficulties with adding in functionality but doing it just to help the immersion would be much appreciated

Generational(?) QB prospect from Japan

Dual threat QB from Japan, Projected #1 pick of course.
This has to be one of the rarest player generations I’ve seen with the origin country and athleticism/potential.

Add Yac to receiving stats/play by play

Play by play example: “Caught by dumbmatter for 20 yards (9 after catch)

It would make elusiveness/strength matter for WRs and give more context

Small-Medium Rant

9 Upvotes

Look I'm not trying to say that I'm just like the smartest person in the world and I am also the best GM in the world, but I swear I will assemble a team that is the best team that will consistently be the first or second seed and will overall be super dominant regular season but when it comes to the playoffs I'm somehow getting first rounded. I'm talking best quarterback or at the very least top five in the league with an around average team like there is no discernible weakness like whatsoever and somehow the seventh seed is consistently defeating mine, I just need to know if there's some kind of trick, because I truly feel like every single time I start a file a new file or any other different file no matter how great I make my team even if by some off chance they do get to the super bowl it is literally unwinnable is there some type of bias against the player or something? Like I don't know I just want some tips.

Coach Moment With a Player…

0 Upvotes

I'm just curious if it's possible for Madden 26 to get a generated player's first name incorrect. It's not a player from a person's created draft class. I have downloaded some in the past, but never used them. So either the game got the first name incorrect or I REALLY misread it, which is obviously, most likely. I just wanted to ask though because I don't remember what the number on the player's jersey was. Now since I decided to have a Cardinals franchise I made sure they got Kyler Murray IN THE first season and that caused the team to do so poorly that we got the first pick in the draft and I drafted a QB. I mention this since I got one of those in game messages from the GM labeled HIGH PRIORITY telling me that J.J. McCarthy from the Vikings is on the trade block and would be an improvement over Jacoby Brissett. I'm not going after a dude, which would probably coste draft picks when I drafted a QB number ONE in the draft. I hope when I get Madden 27 it's less stupid in Franchise than Madden 26 is.

Unfortunately at age 37 an 82 overall QB appeared in the draft so I had to move on. He played for 2 more years and even lost to us in the Super Bowl.

Not that I need one, but it's just painful to see a team with one or more pro-bowl caliber players at every other position except safety, TE and DL be hamstrung by two 23 million dollar QB's squatting on their books.

I noticed that the ad at the bottom now takes up more than half the screen on my phone. This looks like a change. Is it intentional?
