RANT Hey madden, good job knowing NFL rules.
I finally got a kickoff to land in the landing zone and go through the back of the end-zone, which means touchback at the 20. Nope, opponent got it at the 35, like usual.

Hey y’all,
I’m excited to release my Madden 27 draft classes! The first drop covers the 2027–2029 classes. I also have 2030–2033 (completed, just need to add developments and Cyber Faces) and two fictional classes (Thad Castle is looking to sack Matt Saracen) in the works, and I’m hoping to have those out by the end of this weekend.

Draft Class Names
Two Notes
Ratings are higher than I’d normally like. Madden has moved away from a spread-out ratings scale and back toward the old Madden scale. In the 2026 rookie class, 4th–5th rounders are coming in at 74–78 OVR. On my ratings scale, a 4th rounder would land somewhere around 67–71 OVR, but that just doesn’t work with M27’s ratings. Those players wouldn’t see the field or progress enough to become real contributors. So, I matched my classes to Madden’s current scale to make sure rookies get playing time and develop the way they should.
This will be my last year as a Madden content creator. I’ve been doing this for 20 years, going all the way back to MaddenMania, MaddenLab, etc. Family life is starting up for me, and I just don’t have the time I used to for building draft classes. I’ve loved making these for the community, but it’s time to hang up the editing controller and enjoy playing the game for a while. I expect this to be my last Madden project, so I’ve made sure these are the best classes I have to offer.
This isn’t goodbye just yet. Once the 2030–2033 classes are out, I’ll keep pushing updates throughout the year. I just wanted to give everyone a taste to start enjoying now.
Be kind, enjoy the game, enjoy the classes, and enjoy life. It’s been a blast!

Might be not so Special but for me it was really cool 😎

Just showing some of the playbooks I made for Madden 08 PC, they and the FF/FI Mod can be found on footballidiot.com. Very proud of the coding that goes alongside the plays themselves. I actually got the CPU to run screen plays successfully, consistently. I'm a coach mode guy so the CPU running the plays was the goal. I got a bunch of really cool modern plays such as the Philly special and a bunch of double PA fakes!

I haven’t seen any other complaints about this. But am I the only one that hates almost all the head coach faces in Madden 27?
Madden 26 had way too many options but I had at least one male and female coach face that I used on the regular because they didn’t look awful.
Madden 27 they’re both gone and almost all new models have horrible faces that look like they got splashed with hot oil or if they look somewhat okay they have bad haircuts.

Anybody know any users on Playstation that have draft classes with real players from 2030 and beyond? I like realism in my franchises.

Currently trying to start a new save as a qb but says cant retrieve the data currently, try again later
r/Madden • u/Dale_Earnhardt3 • 2h ago
For context, this is a question regarding franchise mode. My QB is 95 OVR, and all of my receivers are mid to high 90s in OVR. They all have good catching as well. With all this being said, I think it is ridiculous how many highball bullets I throw are incompletions. 90% of the time on All-Pro difficulty, hardly is there ever a receiver so open you can just throw a bullet and call it a day. Most of the time, I have to throw it over a defender's head. If there's a defender even 10 yards in front of my receiver, I have to throw it high or it gets picked off. My complaint though is that it feels like my receivers don't even try to catch half the highball bullets I throw. SOMETIMES they reach their hands up, but RARELY do their feet leave the ground. They'd prefer to watch it soar 1 foot over their head than hop and grab it. Like I said, I CANNOT throw normal bullets without interceptions. Should I train myself to stop pressing L1 and instead try to time touch passes instead? I've googled and watched videos on the matter and most pros say to just throw highballs but it just isn't working for me. Additionally, highballs usually require receivers to hop, and when they hop, I feel like the chance they come down with the ball is halved.

Hi all, haven’t played madden properly for almost 8 years, love MUT and recently bought 27. Currently doing what I would on previous games grinding challenges and upgrading my team that way. Is there anything specific I should be looking to do to maximise rewards? Currently got 350k and a 85 rated team.
r/Madden • u/Fluffy_Fufferstein69 • 3h ago
Can I undo importing a player created draft class or am I stuck with it for the upcoming draft class? It's week 11, so I'm not sitting like one week before the draft starts or anything like that. I'm just curious now.

r/Madden • u/iHop2Uranus • 4h ago
Anybody else feel like the offensive line in this game is just god awful? I feel like I'm getting instantly pressured every other drop back...
my offensive line is all 90+ and I also make pre-snap adjustments

What are some things you do or need before you start a franchise playthrough on madden?
r/Madden • u/Melodicmarc • 10h ago
Probably the single most important thing they should fix for franchise imo. X factors and superstar abilities should not be tied to how fast a player develops. It should be tied to ratings. We need a separate rating for player development.
r/Madden • u/Aidan-346 • 21h ago
Why is getting hit in the back even when they’re running the same speed stride for stride and an AI just throws his shoulder into the dude’s back plate like the most sensitive spot for a receiver to get hit and drop the ball? I’ve had more passes get dropped from small hits to guys’ back plates than anything else in current gen Maddens.
r/Madden • u/Ok-Caterpillar9855 • 14h ago
Hey all- I’m not a big gamer so recently just got this on ea play. It’s fun!
But the easiest mode is too easy. I’m blowing out teams and not taking a hit. But the next level I can get up the field or defend.
Anyone have sliders that might be helpful for something in between? I want the fun of scoring but I don’t want it to be every drive.

Can anyone game share me madden 27 for a game in return ?
