I have 100 hours in this game and I made an account just to rate this game, that’s how bad Madden 26 is. It feels slow, unresponsive, and constantly hijacked by broken animations, like the game is fighting you every snap. It’s 2026 and somehow this still looks and plays like a slightly worse version of Madden from years ago. It's laughable: defenders teleport, quarterbacks turn into gods, and blocking randomly collapses for no reason. Franchise mode is once again barebones and buggy. Menus lag, features feel half-finished, and basic polish is missing everywhere. EA has exclusive NFL rights and it shows. No urgency, no pride, just another lazy release. This isn’t a $70 game, it’s an embarrassment.
