EA SPORTSThe NFL Draft Combine process returns in Madden 26, which means you’ll have to interview with teams that want to bring you in, and you’ll have to know the answers.
Over the last few years, Madden’s Superstar mode has increasingly mirrored the real-life draft process. Players have had the chance to visit colleges – even before College Football returned as a standalone – run the 40-yard dash, and interview with teams.
Plenty of focus has been put on the combine interviews, too. Answering questions in the right manner can see your draft stock surge, while wrong answers have you plummeting down the board like Shadeur Sanders.
Just like with Madden 24 and Madden 25, the combine interviews return to the newest title, and giving the correct answers will boost your chances of becoming an NFL star.
Madden 26 Combine interview answers
Unlike last year, where the combine answers tested your general knowledge of the previous NFL season, Madden 26 wants to know what you’d do in certain situations. This means there are no wrong answers, just different types of rewards for each.
Some of these are position-exclusive, too. There are questions that quarterbacks will get but running backs won’t, and the same with wide receivers and defenders. Though don’t be alarmed, they’re not overly difficult.
QUESTION | ANSWER | REWARD |
|---|---|---|
How do you prepare your body during the offseason? | A) Yoga for flexibility and reducing injury B) Personal Trainer for strength training | A: Adds the Yoga Instructor to your Sphere of Influence B: Adds the Personal Trainer to your Sphere of Influence |
How do you prefer to express yourself when you’re on the field? | A) I’m known for my celebrations B) I let my ink do the talking | A: Unlocks the Celebrity Dancer B: Unlocks the Tattoo Artist |
As noted, each question has different rewards, with the majority of these being centred around influence with future teammates.
Others, however, focus on your Sphere of Influence. This is a new feature in Madden 26, where you’ll get boosts from coaches and helpers off the field.
You can pick two very quickly with these combine answers, be it the Yoga Instructor, Personal Trainer, Tattoo Artist, or the Celebrity Dancer. The rest, however, you’ll have to pick up through Superstar mode. So, play on!
