How to use future draft classes in Madden NFL 25 Franchise mode

In Madden NFL 25‘s Franchise mode, it’s possible to play with prospects who are expected to appear in future draft classes.

Thanks to the Team Builder website, which is available to all for free, you can play with custom squads. There are already some wonderful creations themed around them, and some involve future rookies. That said, importing them into a Franchise mode can be tricky if you haven’t done it in previous Madden titles.
