Fellas, as we move on to the madden cycle, I wanted to provide clarity on the process on how we handle abilities. This may be a lot, but I promise it is for the best.
Banned Abilities
Due to issues with tuning, being over powered, or the inability to apply a fix to everyone with that ability fairly, we are going to ban the following abilities:
- Gunslinger
- Pass Lead Elite
- Set Feet Lead
- Freight Train
- Omaha
- Playmaker
If you have a player that had these abilities, they have been re-assigned.
Existing Abilities
We will not be changing the start of file abilities for players. With the potential exclusion of the 2024 rookie class, we will treat them as the same as players who have gained dev.
Gaining Ability Slots
If a player with abilities gains an ability slot as they go up in overall we will allow a roll of that ability.

Gaining Ability Slots
If a player with abilities gains an ability slot as they go up in overall we will allow a roll of that ability.
If you want that player to potentially have a locked ability (ex: “evasive” requires 90 Elusive but they are 89), you may choose to wait until they reach that level before we roll the ability.
Further more, for a players third ability we will roll exclusively the abilities for 85 and higher.
We want players as they get better to have access to the better abilities like their start of file counterparts.
Gaining Development/Abilities
Similar above, as the player gains development and unlocks ability slots, we will allow you choose when to roll that ability so the player can get better ones.
Even if the ability is auto-assigned, if your player gains a development slot, please reach out to a cm or use the discord chat under the madden channel called #ability-changing.
