Madden NFL 26 Updated on March 18 Without Much Fanfare
As expected, EA has not released any official changelog for the game outside of the servers being pulled down for maintenance today.
For now, here are some of the bugs still plaguing the football sim that EA has yet to fix.
Madden NFL 26 Known Issues as of March 2026
- Bugged PS5 Trophies
- Superstar mode is broken for some
- Visa byot draft event bug
- H2H Leaderboards displaying as “No information”
- Connectivity issues (outside of the maintenance downtime)
- Getting kicked from random games
- TOTY completion/collector sets done, but no tracking or rewards

It’s a hard pill to swallow, but we’re not expecting any patch notes from EA regarding today’s title update, which means that these changes are most likely connected to backend stability more than anything else.
