Yes! Now admins can edit the value formula used when calculating player values. And draft pick values are also editable.
These new settings are found in Admin → Trades. So head there to see how it all works. Here is a screenshot of the new options.
As you can see, I tried to give explanations for anything that might need it and some have requirements that need to be met for it to work properly.
You can now set scheduled times and request force wins or fair sims on MyMadden!
You will now see a gear icon in the top left of your unplayed games on the league schedule and game pages. Admins will see it on every game. Admins can set the options for any unplayed game, while other members can do so for their own unplayed games. After a game has a score, admins will still see a gear icon and can fix the force win status if you didn't sync between setting the force and advancing. Below are some screenshots showing what it all looks like.
And if you are on Discord, you have new options too! The /games command has a couple new parameters. “force_or_sim_request” and “scheduled”. They are for exactly what they sound like. With these parameters you can request a force win or sim or set the scheduled time. If you get unscheduled for some reason, just set scheduled to “none” or “unset” and it will unset the time. There is also a new alert type called scheduling that will post anytime a game's schedule or force/sim request status is changed. These can also be set to post to game channels.
I'm sorry Groupme users, the Discord bot capabilities are much easier to add and control how it is used.
I have just added a couple more features.
First, the abilities tab on team pages shows exactly what you'd expect; it shows all the players on the team with abilities and their abilities.
Second is the new filter to show ratings changes in the player search. You can see here that you can choose the week to compare to. The ratings from that week are in parentheses if there is a change. And don't worry, if you have rookie devs hidden, they will stay hidden.
You should be seeing emojis for teams. devs, conferences, NFL, and upgrades in alerts and command responses now.

The game channels and score alerts in Discord have received an upgrade.
For game channels, there is a new command to manage settings: “/game_channels settings”
This command has a few options you can set. This screenshot shows the default settings for each.
As you can see, it is now possible to set a default category for game channels and have them auto generate as well as auto delete. You can also have it post scores, recap images, and AI summaries after the game is played.
Speaking of posting recaps and summaries, the scores alert now also has those options. You can have score alerts include recaps or summaries or both or neither. This screenshot shows what each looks like in “/alerts view”:
And here's an example alert with both enabled:
Now seems a good time to discuss how the Sync feature on MyMadden works.
First a friend of MyMadden discovered the URLs and parameters required for it to all work. Massive thanks to him for that. It was something I had always wanted to do but never did for one reason or another.
When you setup the Sync feature, MyMadden never has access to your EA password. When you login to EA and it sends you to the 127.0.0.1 url, it creates a code that is at then of that url. The code is then used to generate an access token that lets MyMadden retrieve your league's data just as if it were the Madden Companion App. The access token is stored and only ever used for fetching league data.
When you go to setup the Sync feature, this is laid out in a disclaimer because I want to be transparent with you. And if allowing MyMadden to store an access token doesn't feel comfortable to you, then don't do it; wait for EA to update their app.
MyMadden is here to help your league be the best league it can be; nothing more.
Yep! EA has yet to update the Madden Companion App, but, with the help of friend, the sync feature on MyMadden now works with Madden 26. Here's what you need to do for your league:
That should be it. Go ahead and hit “Sync Smart” to get started.
I will start taking renewal requests and you will have a couple of weeks to renew before your league site stops syncing. There will be a banner on the top of the page soon to let you know. Contact me via email, discord, or groupme (email and discord are preferred) to renew your league site or purchase a new one.
Welcome to Madden 26 on MyMadden!
I have added estimated archetypes ratings for all players. The accuracy may not be 100%, but I can work on finetuning it more once the new game releases.
I have also added new weekly schedule graphics. They are set as the thumbnail in the meta tags for schedule links and if you go to the schedule, you will see tabs for scoreboards or the graphic. There you can see the classic scoreboards or the new all-in-one graphic. The colors of the dots in the background are the primary colors for all 32 teams and should update if a team relocates. Here is an example image.
I have also updated game thumbnails. They used to be small and boring, making them blurry and uninspiring on larger screens. Now, they are larger and received a makeover. Here's an example of the new ones.
Player banners on player pages also received a slight upgrade. The background was plain and really needed a revamp.
By now, you might be wondering why dots? Well, as someone who lacks artistic talent but knows how to use math and programming, the dots were the best and easiest option for me. You'd be surprised by just how much can be done with some math and dots.
I hope you like the updates. I will keep working to make MyMadden the best it can be.
You may notice a new link titled “Redzone" in the league menu. This page will show all active streams for the users in the league. The page refreshes stream data every 10 seconds in an attempt to keep it as up to date as possible. Sadly, YouTube is only actually every minute. But Twitch and Kick are both updated by the service itself. So, as soon as Twitch or Kick tells MyMadden you have gone live, it should update on the next 10 second refresh.
No advanced streaming integration would be complete without bots to automatically post links. Discord and Groupme bots have been updated with these options. You can even specify a word to be required in the video title before it can post it; just put it in the “keyword” field for the bot.
For Discord, you have two options.
For Groupme, it's similar to the second Discord method. Just go in and check the “streams” box for the passive bot you want to post the links. Specify a keyword if you want to require a word in the title.
I hope you enjoy the new features! if you have trouble, please contact me in Discord, Groupme, or through email.
Yes, you read the title correctly! While we await the arrival of Madden 26 (and hopefully CFB 26 with exporting too), I have added the option for leagues to automatically generate game summaries using AI.
This feature does require someone in your league to generate an OpenAI API key and put some funds into it, but it's pretty simple and inexpensive. Their are clear instructions for this on the AI page in your league's admin section, as well as the settings for the AI summaries.
After an API key is added, the settings will open up and you can select which model to use and when the summaries are generated, as well as who can regenerate summaries. For the model, I set the default to gpt-4.1-mini as it seems to be the least expensive one that gives good results, but you can try the others if you want. The more expensive ones should give better quality results, but that is not a guarantee.
Here is a screen shot of one of the AI summaries using the gpt-4.1-mini model.
