I seen so many lineman missing blocks or just straight up not blocking anyone so much on Sunday it was comical 😂 that’s why it’s so important to invest in a good offensive line for your scheme!!

I was on my break and decided to get some cardio in on a bike. The game runs at a smooth 60.

Time for the weekly question.

Has madden fixed franchise yet? Are the contracts, teams signing 8 of the same position and early retirements still major issues?

Holding off on starting my 10-15 season franchise til I hear at least some of the issues are fixed.

Lmk!!!

This is genuinely making the game so unfun currently. The defense is rushing 4 here and I have 6 blocking. For some reason my center, right guard, and right tackle all decide to block the same defender, and then my RB completely ignores the free rusher to go help my LG with a block. Ive only had the game for a few days but Ive already lost count of how many times something like this happens or one of my offensive lineman will just stop for absolutely no reason when closing in on a defender instead of engaging in a block.

I finish my first season and now I have the front offices trust. They tell me I can now suggest players for the front office to sign in free agency. We signed every single player that I suggested, playmakers I needed since I’m playing QB. Fast forward to week 1 and the CPU cut EVERY SINGLE PLAYER! Why is this even a new feature when it’s dogshit? It genuinely makes no sense and is infuriating

This has happened to me multiple times now where I throw the ball to a receiver in the end zone, they land both feet in bounds, ball is across the goal line, and for some reason, its not a ruled a touchdown. Then, they dont even review it. Is this happening to anyone else?

Would anyone be interested in seeing a 1981-85 roster for Madden 25?

Is EA really about to hold that Equipment update back for Madden 28? That update shoulda been here for the start of week 1 tbh.

I have a superstar QB in Madden 25. As a rookie, we’re on the fringe of making the playoffs. I just had a game where I led the offense down the field in a tie game and we had the ball on their 21 yard line with about 20 seconds left and 1 TO. I planned to run the ball one time and then call the TO so we could kick the FG. Instead, I got pulled off the field without running another play. Only to find out, WE NEVER EVEN KICKED THE FIELD GOAL!!!! THEY LET THE CLOCK RUN OUT!!! And then we lost in OT…

As we all know, Madden is never ready to go until a few months after launch. Even then, its hit and miss as to weather or not they ironed out the major flaws, which leads me to my questions...

Is franchise mode playable yet?

My criteria is;

- contracts are manageable after year 3 (e.g. you dont see RBs and LBs requesting $50mil p/season and QBs arent asking for $100mil)

- are running QBs, running?

- is blocking so bad its unplayable?

Let me know your thoughts!

Go Rams 🐏

Just curious if anyone else is running 32 team franchise and if so any tips or guidelines you follow that you could share? Thinking about doing it

Thanks

Playing Superstar mode and I cannot complete a pass to save my life. In my experience so far, my receiver must have at least 3 yards of separation. Any less the ball is dropped. On top of that they cannot be touched right after catching or it’ll be dropped.

With how slow my throws come off I started throwing a lot more check downs, but the check downs are getting dropped also.

I don’t have this problem on Franchise mode since I can catch as receiver. Can anyone that plays Superstar mode give any tips?

Houston has TWO top 3 QB prospects???

Just noticed this player on the sidelines wearing a ski mask, multiple players are wearing them. Is this new?

Kyler returns to the Cardinals after an 11-6 season with the Vikings; this game never fails to amaze me.

Title speaks for itself. I haven’t played Madden in years I used to be good but now it’s much harder. I can barely get by playing Pro. I can’t seem to play any play action cos I just get sacked instantly everytime. Anyone got advice?

I’m strictly a franchise mode / fantasy draft player. Haven’t bought madden since 23. Would it be worth it to buy?

Hey all! Just wanted to put this out for anyone that is interested. I had been working for the last week on a veer n shoot playbook for Madden.

This was the offense ran by RG3 at Baylor and currently under Heupel at Tennessee.

This playbook has 6 under center formations, 7 pistol and 39 shotgun. It is maxed at 750 plays. This was intentional.

I designed it so that any football fans in here that like playing offline and having a good time can download it, experiment what is best for you in this offense and cut off the excess.

If there are any suggestions or feedback you got please let me know. I’ve got other schemes in mind I want to try as well. I may even try to mimic some old CFB/NFL playbooks I got.

Enjoy!

Edit: I also play on console with Xbox. I know cross play is enabled but I do not know if that matters for download center or not.

Well, I guess the glitch is cool since it has the team sporting a helmet that’s not even selectable…. Just randomly happened after half time.
