EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 26 leverages a new AI-powered machine learning system to convert thousands of plays from nearly a decade of real NFL data into more explosive gameplay—with new player-specific traits, authentic play-styles, and adaptive counters that match on-field tendencies and strategies of NFL quarterbacks and coaches.
From the Skol chant in Minnesota to the light show in Baltimore, immerse yourself in new presentation across the NFL including game-impacting weather, team traditions, and more.
Gameplay
Explosive NFL Gameplay
Burst upfield like Saquon with updated player movement to reflect the explosive athleticism only the NFL can deliver. Physics-based interactions now include catch tackles, stiff-arms, and trucks for improved collision control.
QB DNA
Leveraging nearly a decade of NFL QB performances, all-new QB DNA delivers unique, player-specific pocket behaviors, signature throwing motions, and distinct scrambling styles that match real on-field movement of star NFL quarterbacks.
Coach DNA
Coaches make decisions based on their actual philosophies, backed by nearly a decade of NFL data. Experience real coaching styles like Dan Campbell's fourth-down aggression, Kevin O'Connell's creative offensive approach, and more, adding new layers of strategy to every matchup.
Roster Management
Modernized depth charts, new positional roles, and the Wear & Tear system add strategy and experimentation to roster management and game-planning.
Football Weather
Depending on how extreme the conditions are, Football Weather can completely disrupt your original game plan. Adapt to new challenges like limited visibility downfield in heavy snow and fog, or wet conditions that will directly impact player movement, stamina, ball security, and more.
Defensive Control & Strategy
Control your pass-coverage depth with new custom zones, and perfect your pass rush strategy with new stunts and twist options at the line.
