Although there are new cities to set up your global dominating franchise team in, like Tokyo or Paris you are still limited customisation-wise. Overall, with the same stadium designs team fonts and team templates to choose from, this again feels like a lacklustre effort, with Mut 26 coins the customisation options falling short.

Training camp mini-games are also back this year but, Madden NFL 26 feels severely limited in comparison to its PS2-era Madden 07 counterpart. In the mini-games, there is no option as in previous instalments to up the difficulty of the training to receive more XP if you want an added challenge.

In the past by risking all your points you would get a harder difficulty drill that once completed would reward your team with even more points to help towards their player rating progress. Training camp mini-games this year feel unpolished with a few animation glitches happening during rushing and passing drills that led to a frustrating gameplay experience.

The aspect I was most excited about this year was the return of Superstar Mode to the series, however despite a fresh lick of paint, this year’s mode feels like less of a triumphant return and more like a careless whisper. While it is great to be able to hop back in as my own custom player, in Madden NFL 26 you only have the option to play as Quarterback, Running back, Linebacker, Receiver, or Cornerback. This is an overall downgrade from years past when your Superstar could play any position on the field.

Madden NFL 26 is an open world game that focuses on collecting materials, items and buy Madden 26 coins to improve the combat effectiveness of your characters.But Madden NFL 26 has received mixed reviews, reflecting both the series' improvements and ongoing problems.
