Now that early access for Madden 26 is in full effect and the game’s full release is just days away, members of the Operation Sports community have been digging in to see how the game works. More specifically, they’ve been playing around with the sliders to see what settings provide the best in-game experience.
First up, we have ML’s All-Madden sliders for Madden 26, which is based on the game’s hardest difficulty. ML has been a contributor to the Operation Sports forums since 2011, so the guy knows what he’s doing. His most recent slider set was developed on the back of sliders for College Football 26, as well as checking out other slider sets from OS veterans such as Canes21 and Matt10.
Without further ado, here are ML’s All-Madden Sliders. And for more slider sets, be sure to check out the Operation Sports forums!

Penalty Sliders
As of right now, ML is still working on penalty sliders, so all of them are currently being left on their default values. However, the following penalties should be turned OFF:
- Intentional Grounding
- Roughing the Kicker
- Illegal Contact
Wear & Tear Sliders
According to ML, Wear is not adjustable when playing Franchise mode. At least, not yet. So if you’re playing Franchise mode, it’s best to toggle Wear & Tear off completely until more data can be collected. However, if you’re looking to change them anyway, ML is using Matt10’s settings from CFB 26.
