FRANCHISE Eli2Manningham Madden 27 Draft Classes

260 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.

Username: Eli2Manningham
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!

I am going to watch all the games that have playoff implications to see how this plays out. Every team that is 10-5 can clinch a first-round bye with a win + help but can also possibly be eliminated from contention with a loss😳

QUESTION Does Anyone on Reddit enjoy any game they have purchased?

20 Upvotes

If you go by Reddit everyone hates every game that there is. Except old games because it's cool to like previous versions of games.

People hate Madden, they hate Dead By Daylight, they hate Halloween, they hate NBA2k, they WWE 2k, they even hate GTA 6 and that's not even out yet.

But bring up an old game (which by the way is never as good as they remember) and it's the best and this new state of the art version could never live up to the one i had 20 years ago.

Now, they will play these games they absolutely hate anywhere from 3 to 12 hours per day. So there's that.

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.

Other Free website for creating a draft class

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I've created a free to use website for creating a custom franchise mode draft class. You can customize all details for players, including their portraits from the ones available in-game. This was initially a tool I was using on my own, but decided I would share it for others to use. I tried to make it fast and seamless to add and edit players. Let me know your thoughts if it's helpful!

FRANCHISE Madden 27 CPU draft logic is still terrible

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

The Dolphins drafted a generational RT with their first overall pick, except their roster already has two starting tackles so without my input he'd just be a backup for them.

I made him a guard so he would start for them, although they now have a 24 year old 81 overall Kaden Proctor sitting on the bench as a result.

I'm tired of having to babysit the CPU's roster every year so that their rosters aren't a complete mess. We deserve better EA.

FRANCHISE Fully Updated Madden 27 Roster | Post-MHJ Trade

Post image
3 Upvotes

Since M24, I have made realistic rosters on Madden (PS5 & Xbox). My files have been downloaded by 30K+ people total & I always update, delete, & re-upload my roster after new league changes. Here's a fully updated M27 roster, 26ACCURATE by JCameron181, for the season! Has every new FA move, current jersey numbers, accurate special teams, & depth chart changes (used ourlads)! Unfortunately, I can't edit age, dev traits, or teams' draft picks. However, I can edit player OVRs, so if you have any suggestions for that, feel free to mention them in the comments & I will see them! Thank you.

Every time I try to use the standard body type in Superstar it changes it to slim. This is an issue as it impacts the players ratings and potential. Is this an issue for you guys as well? I have only seen one other person with this issue, and I would very much like it to be resolved.

So I'm playing an Online H2H. I've got the Browns and the other guys had the Bears. I'm dusting this guy in the first quarter, then this happens. It seems when I'm up or score on the opponent, this happens every single time; NEVER when I'm down. Does this make both users lose? It's as if Gamers are more exploSo can someone tell me, are people exploiting something? We need to try to raise awareness of this because it's a $70 game with a $10 monthly service from PlayStation online membership...

Got Madden 26 on sale a little while ago, first Madden game since ~20, and feeling a bit overwhelmed in Franchise mode with all the RPG-like elements they've added, like coach schemes, weekly boosts, wear and tear, scouting setup, etc. Is there a cheat-sheet or guide or something anybody's put together to help me make sure I'm maximizing my team without spending hours tinkering into every little thing?

GLITCH/BUG Superstar post-TD glitch

1 Upvotes

So I just started a new qb character and this is the 2nd time where after I score a TD, the game just freezes I haven’t gotten the “jog off the field” animation that leads back into the sim screen and I can’t call a play. Is there any way to make sure this doesn’t happen or is the game just that terrible

RANT CPU Defense/Offense Superstar Mode

1 Upvotes

I have some complaints! Why is it that when I play offense (QB, RB, WR) the blocking from my O-Line is completely useless, they deliberately let defenders in and everyone and thier grandmother play the best defense known to mankind! BUT when I play defense (DB, Safety, edge) My defense CAN’T cover, I get sucked into blocks, my defensive players stay still. It’s like they’re brain dead!
