Madden 22 is now out and EA has updated the Madden Companion App. It all seems to be working fine except some issues with the app having trouble communicating the Madden NFL servers. If you get that error, try again or maybe wait a while and try again. I suspect the Madden servers are quite busy at the moment. 

If you haven't already renewed your league and you want to, contact me and we'll get it set up. I'll probably give a week or two for all leagues to get renewed before I set the site to only accept data imports for current leagues. 

There's been a few new features added over the past few months. 

The history tab on player pages shows their past ratings, teams, positions, and abilities. Bots also now have the ability to post ability changes in GroupMe and Discord. I plan to add the same capability for position changes and contract changes in the near future. 

There is also a new injuries link in the league menu. It works just like all the other search tables but is focused on injuries. I also plan to add the capability of posting injury updates to the bots soon. Currently there is an "injuries" command that will post the link to the table. In the longer-term I plan to add injuries to the player history tab. That will take some extra work though. 

In the admin section you will find a new tab in the menu. The export tab. There you can download league data in CSV files so you can keep historical records and also do advanced calculations if you want to. Or do anything else with the data. 

Also, we recently crossed the 200 milestone for Madden 21 leagues! Have fun, everyone! 

You might notice a new link in the league menu. Yeah, that one. "Draft" 

Well, clicking it will take you to a draft recap. From there you can select the season you want to see the draft of and then view by round, team, or position. 

In order to have the most accurate recaps, please export rosters after the draft before any cuts are made. 

In the future I plan add a way to view the fantasy draft recap, but that will have to wait for now. 

Yes, we're still here! MyMadden was updated to work with Madden 21 a few days ago, when the app was released. Team logos and player portraits are up to date. 

Other updates and additions have also been made. A history tab has been added to player pages. This tab keeps a history of the player's ratings, teams, and position changes. The value of draft picks when submitting a trade has been fixed. I'm planning to add some salary tools to team pages so you can see your players' salaries all in one place and use it to more easily help make decisions. Look for that in the next week or so. 

League Renewals and New Leagues

If you wish to renew your league for Madden 21, contact me through email, groupme, or discord. I have not yet disabled leagues that haven't renewed, but I will in the next few days, so get those renewals in. If you want to start a new league, contact me the same way and I'll get you setup! 

Since Madden 20 now hides some dev traits until the player reaches a certain snap count, some have requested that MyMadden do this too. Well, the export data doesn't include the necessary data to keep it completely accurate. But what I have done is give the option to hide all rookie devs, hide only 1st round rookie devs, or show all rookie devs. You can find this setting in the Admin settings. The default is to hide all rookie dev traits. 

Better support for multiple seasons has also been added. Game stats should persist so you can go back and brag about beating your rival three seasons ago, That's always fun! 

A few other issues have been fixed too. 

The WordPress plugin in development is going to have a change in philosophy. Instead of being a standalone thing, it will be closely tied to the main site and all the data will be on the main site. 

The main site is currently working with Madden 20!

If you have not paid for the new cycle, syncing will not work. So, make sure you get that in soon so your league can see their stats on the site. 

Apparently, the notice about the latest version of the Madden Companion App being compatible with Madden 20 was wrong. As a result, that will delay the process of Making My Madden compatible with M20. 

Also, once that does happen, your Madden 19 leagues will no longer sync to My Madden. 

Madden 20 Update

Some of us will get to start playing afternoon! I've got it installed already so I can work on updating the site to work with Madden 20 ASAP. Don't be alarmed if the site goes down for a few minutes in the next few days. That's probably just me doing the updates. 

Discord

The discord bots are now live on MyMadden. Check the help page to learn more.

Trades

Trades now show a vote count. 

WordPress Plugin

I've been working a WordPress plugin version of MM over the past couple of months. It is separate from the main site, meaning you don't need a league on the main site for it to work. Just install it in your WordPress site. The plugin is still a bit of a work in progress as I still need to add bot capabilities and the trade proposal system. The best part of this plugin is how customizable everything is. The home page can look any way you want it and so can the team, player, and game pages. Don't like the default look? Change it! It helps to be sufficient with HTML and CSS if you wish to change the look much by editing the shortcodes and styling. 

There will be more updates on the plugin in the future. If you wish to use it, send me an email or find me in groupme or discord. 

Pricing

We'll have some new pricing for this cycle. I'm dropping the monthly option.

Main site

• $30 for first league
• $20 for each league after

WordPress Plugin

• $40 and I plan to let you install on up to 3 sites. 

Madden 20 isn't far away, and this site needs some updates and upgrades. There's a couple readyt to be pushed to the site, but there's more that I'm working on. One of those is a Discord bot. Here's what the admin section for it looks like right  now, but it is still in development. 

Ok, I've fixed a few bugs we discovered in the past week or two.

The biggest bugs were caused by me assuming that EA wouldn't reuse game and stat IDs from season to season, but I was wrong. Why they reuse those IDs, I have no idea. It goes against everything I know. As a result, game and player stats after season one were pretty sketchy for a while. I have implemented a band-aid of sorts, but it means the stats and games from previous seasons will not be available. I'm planning on fixing that though. 

There were some other minor fixes too, such as the draft round and pick number on player pages being corrected.

There is also now retirement detection. I am hoping they don't reuse player IDs too, but I'll find out in a test league before any of the real leagues get that far I hope. If they do, then I'll probably just have to end up deleting retired players and their associated stats, but I'd prefer to keep those around for historical purposes. 

Another big update some of you have noticed is simscores. Several leagues utilize simscores as a way to grade how "sim" each user is. This feature is designed to help with that but is still a work-in-progress. There will be a full blog post and help page on it when it is ready. It would be ready now if not for some of the bugs mentioned earlier that I had to fix.
