r/Madden

I’m sorry, but EA needs to do something about all these ravens spammers in online head-to-head. I’m so sick of doing everything right, having all the receivers bagged up, even having contain and a QB spy, yet Lamar Jackson is still able to run for a first down every play. It’s completely game breaking and EA needs to do something. I don’t know if the answer is having a cool down system so people can’t spam the same overpower teams over and over again, but I’m sick of it.

I’m sick of doing everything totally right and still getting beat because the low skilled players only know how to run around with Lamar Jackson.

Rant over

I am in a madden franchise with other users. Meaning a fair amount of my games will be against users and not the cpu what positions are the most important to prioritize upgrading in general, because i know this game plays differently than real football.

Say, if you have a rookie with good stats but not scheme fit, do you upgrade him further as he is, or try to make him scheme fit with upgrade points? Does it impact his OVR or regression somehow across career?

Assuming Madden will have the same defensive and offensive adjustments features as CFB this year, I can’t help but think about the great chess matches you could have against a user. I’d love to get a league full of people who think the same way and want to play the game the right way without cheesing.

Looking for as many users as possible to fill up the league when the game drops. (No fantasy draft, realistic trade, no switching playbooks)

Either dm me or comment under the post to let me know !

They did the whole "advanced stats" gimmick that lasted like 2 years and didn't change anything about the game except having an overlay on instant replays, but that's not what im talking about.

They have a pressure system in the game, noting when a closing defender forces a bad or hurried pass from the QB, yet they don't attribute this stat to the defender. They have a knockout system and yet only judge DBs by the amount of interceptions they get each year, not by opposing QBR, or amount targeted or anything else. They have a win and superwin system for DE's and OL's but pancakes and sacks allowed are still the only stat for O-linemen and have been for years.

I know its too soon for madden 27, but for madden 28 this has to change. It makes no sense that the real game of football, which is a hell of a lot harder to quantify, has these advanced metrics, yet a computer game where wins/losses on a particular play literally have a dice roll outcome that can be tracked doesn't.

Let's get into the modern era EA. Let me judge my players for how they are performing on a play by play basis, instead of just the highlight reel stuff.

Obviously everyone will have their personal favorites that they've grown up with etc. But in 2026, given how things have aged (for better or for worse), and how things are with the current game (for better or for worse), what do you think is the single best Madden game ever to play in 2026?

Is there any roster update for Madden NFL 20 that includes the 2024 season or later? Is there anywhere I can download it?
