EA Sports

Madden 25 players can import an NFL Draft Class from creators for Franchise Mode, and this is exactly how to do so.

If you’re looking to create a dynasty in Franchise Mode, you’ll notice that auto-generated players are in each NFL Draft Class. However, if you want a more realistic class, you can import one into the mode instead.

You can either create your own class or download one from the Download Center to use in the football sim.

How to import & download draft class

You can import a draft class after the preseason, during Week 1 of the regular season in Madden 25. To do this simply follow the steps below:

Navigate to the Home screen, and select the ‘Choose Draft Class‘ tab
From this tab, choose the ‘Import Local File.’ option
Then, select your desired draft class file.

Players can either download someone else’s or create their own draft class for Franchise Mode. To download an already created class by a community member, go to ‘Creation Center’ -> ‘Download Center’ -> ‘Draft Classes.’

You can either important your own or a community created draft class.

Alternatively, one could create their own draft class. This can be done by keeping the auto-generated rookies, modifying them, and then editing them in the ‘Prospects‘ tab of the draft menu.

Once all this is done, the game will ask if you want to export the class as a Local Draft Class File.

Can a College Football 25 draft class be imported?

No, College Football 25 draft classes can’t be imported to Madden 25.

While this was an option in the NCAA Football days of the franchise, it’s no longer viable given that EA now uses real NCAA players.

In the past, EA used fake player monikers in the NCAA Football game, but real likenesses. However, a theoretical addition of real draft classes into Madden would create licensing troubles, since players must sign an NFLPA group licensing agreement to be included in Madden.

College football players are not part of the NFL Players Association.
