FRANCHISE Eli2Manningham Madden 27 Draft Classes

255 Upvotes

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

  • E2M2027
  • E2M2028
  • E2M2029

Two Notes

  1. 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.

  2. 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!

The Commanders are a mess. There are still “Washington Football Team” logos floating around the stadium, despite not being called that since 2022. They didn’t bother to update the mascot or the end zones, which are now different uniforms/wordmark in 2026. So lazy.

FRANCHISE Should I trade Lamar

2 Upvotes

I have the ravens in my franchise and it’s year 2. Derek Henry and Stanley have both retired on me after making the playoffs. He has a 274M cap penalty which I know gets split between two seasons. I got offered Derek Stingley (94 ovr Xf) and C.J Stroud (85 ovr star) and a 1st round for just Lamar ( 96 ovr Xf) 30 years old. I have to resign Stroud and Zay. I picked up Nate Wiggins 5th year option and he’s a Superstar dev and have to resign him the following year. I drafted a rookie cb to go with Nate that’s 94 spd 6’4 already an 82 ovr in week 3. With Stingley, Nate and rookie Cb it will be a Lock down secondary. I want to do the trade bc i want to trade my older player while they have value but not trying to mess up my cap to bad. My main concern is not being able to sign Nate that following year

Side notes - Zay flowers need to be resign this season

Stroud has to be resign this season. Or I could use the non exclusive franchise tag and if he leaves get two 1st

It’s a very strong QB draft so could draft a Qb with one of my two 1st rd and let stroud walk

I currently have 39M in cap before the trade and will still have some 20 plus after.

QUESTION Substituting a Player

10 Upvotes

Why the hell does Madden 27 make it so god damn difficult to substitute a player whose level of wear and tear is going to get them injured?! I get an alert that Josh Downs has a high risk of injury and no matter what I do with the depth chart he persists to be in every play. I’ve now used two timeouts in the 1st quarter and have 3 delay of game calls and can’t figure out what menu to do what is supposed to be the most simplest routine in game task. Does anyone have advice for a guy who hasn’t played this game since 2016?

Edit: Thanks everybody! Right on the dpad worked for me. I don’t know how I missed that.

QUESTION Weird bug

So I was playing on my bills franchise and I went through the first half of the game no issues. But as soon as I got past halftime, the game started to speed up. Every player looks like they took an 8 ball of coke in the locker room and the clock moves hella fast too. I was just curious if anyone has experienced this as well or if there’s something wrong with my console.

FRANCHISE DW as DC?

1 Upvotes

Can a head coach development Wizard archetype be defensive coordinator in Madden 27????

Dan Campbell was actually fired by detroit

My question is, since he has his archetype listed as development wizard. He can technically be hired as a DC, he does show up on the list but I have been told to stay away from anything other than a defensive guru.... If he is signed, would the team play bad on defense???

RANT Punter Got Sacked On a Punt

1 Upvotes

I was playing franchise and ran up on a random “fuck you you’re supposed to lose” from the AI game against an 0-2 team that was so blatant they blew up a punt to the point of tackling him before he could even drop the ball to kick it. I have literally never seen that happen before, and it was on top of some of the best CPU defense countering your play calls I’ve seen on any Madden where anytime I tried to pass literally everyone from the WR1 to the checkdown was blanketed and bracketed more so than I think I’ve ever seen in the 15 years I’ve been playing these games. I’m honestly more amazed than mad, I don’t think I’ve ever had a game like this on All Pro.

QUESTION Why don't I get injuries?

1 Upvotes

I rarely get injuries in my franchise for some reason and if I do it's usually the training injuries or injuries where they're out for a quarter or so then they return. Is this a glitch or Is there any way to fix this? I would like to have it to where they miss a couple games or so and my injury slider is at 43 already

QUESTION Contain doesn’t get blocked on the last drive

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Can someone explain what’s happening? I feel like I’ll play a tough game the whole way and then on the last drive the other player starts containing their ends and my right tackle will just absolutely refuse to block. I’m not scrambling out, and the next play I deliberately made sure to not drop back any further than the auto 3 step drop. Has anyone figured out how to block when this glitch starts happening? (Btw this is an online user vs user cfm)

FRANCHISE Realistic Draft Classes for 2027, 2028, and 2029 Updated and Uploaded!

7 Upvotes

Looking for a full 7 round draft class of real players and realistic, balanced attributes for Franchise mode? Well you're in luck! I just updated my 2027 and 2028 realistic draft classes and uploaded a new 2029 realistic draft class! My goal with these classes has been to make the most realistic reflection of the incoming college class as possible, while fitting the ratings restraints of the current Madden games. This means realistic athletic attributes, physical measurables, and projections for where these players will be drafted.

You can find the draft classes by searching for their names in Franchise or in the Download Center:

2027DRAFT7ROCT

2028DRAFT7ROCT

2029DRAFT7ROCT

Alternatively, you can find it by searching the username "Zahn_Romusiae" and looking for the correctly named file.

I welcome any and all criticism or recommendations for these two classes! I did my best to make sure there isn't any oversaturation of talent at one position, that there are busts and sleepers, and that the overalls aren't incredibly inflated, like they are in randomly generated classes and most of the uploaded ones. Nor will there be 6 70+ overall QBs, tons of star dev or superstar dev - there's plenty of opportunity to find gems as are there just okay roster-filling players.

If you notice a player missing from the 2027 draft class that you think should be in it, they're likely in the 2028 class and any adjustments will be made in a future update when declarations are more likely!

There's bound to be some errors or adjustments that can be made, so please leave any feedback you have! Both the 2027 and 2028 draft classes are (almost) entirely real players with appropriate body types and gear! The 2029 class may have not have real players into undrafted free agency, but that will be remedied in a future update. These classes will inevitably have ranking adjustments as the season plays out, but they're absolutely set to be balanced for long term rebuilds. Hope you all enjoy!

If you wanna support me, I have my Ko-Fi linked in my profile! Even if it’s just a couple bucks, it means a lot :)
