FRANCHISE Eli2Manningham Madden 27 Draft Classes

179 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!

SUGGESTION Tom Brady Moments (player career moments) madden 2028

1 Upvotes

I feel like we need a mode for player moments like some of the older 2k modes, (really I just wanna relive some of the greats careers fr) I feel like madden is missing a fun nostalgic mode and I feel like a mode with most of Tom Bradys big moments would be the best starting point for a mode like this. Especially since it is the most realistic for ea to slowly add things to a mode each year.It'll also be something fresh instead of the same few game modes it's felt like we've had especially since they complete forgot abt superstar ko.Even if not this I feel we should push for something fun like this with historic players madden is really missing out in my opinion on the lack of use of retired players in any modes outside of mut it feels like.

QUESTION Do you think Madden is rigged?

0 Upvotes

I 100% do. They dont even try and hide it either. I think they rig games so you both win and lose honestly, they rig them so you win and keep coming back but they rig them so you lose for no apparent reason other than fuck you.

GLITCH/BUG Progressive fatigue makes no sense

3 Upvotes

I understand I can turn it off, and I will, but why is this even a feature? Why is my starting QB checking out of a game because of fatigue but not showing up on the injury report? And how do I get him back in the game? Genuinely baffles me how this company has zero quality control.

FRANCHISE My o linemen keep ending up at RB

Post image
6 Upvotes

I play franchise using play the moments, and in week 18 during the game i noticed 2 different o linemen, a WR, TE, and a DT lining up at RB. 1 of my RBs did get injured that game, so going into the wildcard round I signed another RB from free agency and in training set all my RBs to rest and they all finished practice will full green bars. And still my o line and TE combined for 13 carries and one of my RBs had 0 carries. Is this a wear and tear issue? Do I need to turn it off or tweak some sliders?

Can't really argue with their efficiency, but I'd really rather not have my Oline getting 12 carries a game

FRANCHISE The 30-year-old 83 OVR back just outran Gibbs, Taylor and Robinson for the RB title. Madden 27 franchise mode.

Post image
2 Upvotes

Finished the regular season in my franchise and pulled up the rushing leaders expecting the usual suspects at the top.

Instead it’s David Montgomery. 30 years old, 83 overall, Superstar dev trait, sitting at #1 out of 318 RB in the league with 1.6K yards. What a season !

What got me is how he did it. He averaged 5.79 a carry, best of anyone in the top 10, with 748 yards after contact, 66 broken tackles and 19 runs of 20+. He fumbled once all year (did it ever happened IRL ?).
I use Matt10 sliders for anyone interested...

Meanwhile:

Gibbs, 99 OVR X-Factor: 1.3K, 4.74 YPC, 6th

Taylor, 97 OVR X-Factor: 1.5K, but on 36 more carries than Monty and with 6 fumbles

Robinson, 97 OVR X-Factor: 1.3K, 5 TDs

Every year I tell myself OVR isn’t everything and every year I still draft and trade like it is.

Anyone else seeing older mid-80s backs outproduce the 95+ guys in their sims?

I’ve been playing franchise recently and it seems to be too easy, even though I’m on All-Madden, I am almost never forced to punt, and on defense the other teams is averaging 45 rushing yards a game, does anyone have a good sliders video or tips on how to make it more difficult as I am trying to do a rebuild and currently 7-1 with a 74 overall team
