I posted about this draft class about a week ago now. When I had posted I had 25 players with their likeness and correct playing style and gear. I have officially finished the first two rounds (64 players). The traits have now been correctly randomized and be changed weekly for now. I will post the way they are randomized below. Download the class and let me know if you have any ideas, see any mistakes, or any other feedback! Thank you for your support!
Your post really implies you guys are just blissfully unaware. It's happening to everyone playing franchise mode. On every next gen version. Under every circumstance. Once you upload a draft class, the players ratings and faces show in the prospects list. But then when you look at the player themselves, they all have the same face, same physique, same number. When you try to edit them, nothing changes. And once you've imported a draft class for that season, you can't even revert back to the auto generated draft class. So you're stuck with a draft class where people have names, and attributes. But they all look exactly the same. And you can't even go through and edit the players after their drafted, because you guys haven't fixed the bug that doesn't allow us to edit the players on other teams yet.
Franchise mode is literally unplayable like this. I just finished my second wasted 'season 1' because the first time I assumed it was an issue with the draft class I had downloaded. So I started a second franchise, only to encounter the exact same issue when draft time came. $70 and I can't even play the game mode I paid for

Summarize your bug Editing draft class- whenever a player is first edited, their height goes to 0'0". Sometimes crashes the game when you play.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Load a default draft class, and edit one of the players without changing their height (I changed the name, college, jersey number, and age), save and exit. Their height should be 0'0".
What happens when the bug occurs? Seems to just be a menu error, but sometimes it crashes the game.
What do you expect to see? A normal height

Summarize your bug when I go to download or import a custom draft class in madden 24's franchise mode (offline or online) every player in the franchise is automatically given the madden default body type, height, weight and gear and I cannot make any changes to the class until the draft has actually happened and the players get put on their individual teams. This adds so much more time and effort on my part because I don't want an offensive lineman being 256 pounds and have the body of a wide receiver as it completely ruins the experience and gameplay immersion for me. Why are people spending countless hours creating custom draft classes and making the players look as close to real life as possible if every time someone downloads their class they have to redo the entire proess? THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE PATCHED WITHOUT RUINING ONGOING FRANCHISES NOW. NOT NEXT MONTH NOT IN NOVEMBER NOT IN DECEMBER, IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW. IM SICK AND TIRED OF YALL'S INACTION AND INABILITY TO ADD IN NEW FEATURES INTO MADDEN WITHOUT BREAKING SOMETHING THAT USED TO BE PERFECTLY FINE. FIX THIS.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? you need to patch this game and impliment a bug fix that allows for imported draft classes to retain the same player builds and gear customization that the draft class creator made.
What happens when the bug occurs? all players in the imported draft classes (regardless of height, weight, race, build or gear) are automatically reverted to generic head 1 and put at 256 pounds with no body definition or size. They also lose all gear that was put onto them by the draft class creator. League admins are unable to edit the class to fix this until the players have been drafted onto a team (although these players shouldn't have to be re-customized in the first place)
What do you expect to see? I expect to see custom imported draft classes be the same as they were in madden 23, where a players likeness (height, weight, build, gear they wear) that is added by the draft class creator is retained when you download a class from the creator files into your franchise. to test this yourselves, simply create an online franchise, import a custom draft class and then go edit a player and you'll see what I mean.
i find this is only happening when downloading draft classes from the community, if you use the self generated rookies you can edit them and there not all the same physique/look etc. im using a series x
The 2024 & 2025 draft classes are complete. I will start updating the prospect database for the 2026 class soon. This class will take longer to complete. My work has picked up and I am going through the process of buying a house. So there is not as much free time as I have had the last few weeks. I plan to finish the 2026 class by the end of November.
The bug is only present as far as I know on the next gen version of the game no matter the platform and it's affecting franchise mode when it comes to editing your draft class players the Physique sliders are not working as intended.
I am playing on Xbox Series S. It seems to happen only with custom draft classes. This needs to be addressed asap. What are you and the other devs doing about this? This is on par with the glitch from last year in franchise which reset played game's scores to 27-0 loss at random. Funny how these bugs and glitches only seem to happen in franchise, but your stupid MUT modes seem to be unaffected.
Another quick example of the difference these settings can make in the quality of draft classes is in testing these settings, we generated 30 classes on each setting and with every position set to very strong, draft classes saw an average of nearly ten 80+ OVR prospects per draft. With every position set to Very Weak there were a total of five 80+ OVR prospects over all 30 classes and an average OVR that was over five points lower than the Very Strong classes.
Dev Note: For these settings to take effect, they will need to be set prior to the current season's draft class being generated which takes place in Regular Season Week 1. If changed after a class is generated, they will take effect in the following season.
Previously, the Fantasy Draft could only be played in a standard order, going from picks 1-32 each round. This year, commissioners can choose this or a Snake draft, which reverses the order each round.

Can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong? For some reason when I load my draft class from NCAA 12 to Madden, it is not working. I amgetting these made up names like I never even did it. I've never had this issuein the past. for some reason i can not get itto work. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Madden 24 players seem to be encountering yet another glitch that's ruining their experience of the game. The Madden 24 Draft Class Glitch, as it's called, affects users playing Franchise mode. The issue is that at a certain moment, all draftees begin to look exactly the same. You'll draft a 330 lbs. defensive lineman only for him to look exactly like your 215 lb halfback. Eventually, all players start to look exactly the same.
First and foremost, do not import or download any draft class in the game. For some players, this tends what causes the glitch for some. If the glitch occurred without you doing this, then read further for some possible solutions.
However, a few users on Twitter and the EA Community boards found some temporary solutions that may help. One of the main fixes we keep hearing is to keep the rookies set to auto generated. Then, users have to manually edit each rookie themselves. This tedious process only unfortunately works on the franchise you edited them on. Additionally, you may have to repeat the process every season as you draft new players.
If you're afraid of this glitch happening to you, then we recommend avoiding franchise mode altogether. If you already encountered this glitch, perhaps you may need to consider a new franchise but without an imported or downloaded draft.
In Madden NFL 24, you have the option to use either an EA-generated draft class (featuring entirely fictional players) or choose a class crafted by an online user. Naturally, these classes vary in the ratings of the players. For this article, we've utilized the draft class created by "BornHim," which boasts the highest likes and offers realistic ratings for college players. While alternative files can be downloaded, we cannot assure the accuracy of the ratings they provide.
