How to fix draft class import not working in Madden 25

Can you fix it?

In Madden NFL 25, you have the ability to import custom draft classes into Franchise Mode. However, many players have been reporting an issue that prevents them from successfully importing a custom draft class. If you're also facing the same problem, here are some methods to fix it.

As mentioned earlier, the issue typically appears when you attempt to import a custom draft class in Madden NFL 25. As a result, the process crashes and kicks you back to the franchise load screen with an error message.

Some players have also reported that they are encountering the "No files found" message despite downloading the draft class files from the download center. So they have to forcefully select the “keep auto-generated rookies” option to proceed.

Fixing the draft class import issue in Madden 25

It looks like the draft class import issue in Madden 25 isn’t something that can be easily fixed right now. It's one of those early bugs that popped up since the game just dropped. The developers are on it, though, trying to squash these bugs as quickly as they can.

For now, your best bet is to hang tight until they roll out a hotfix. In the meantime, someone on the EA forums mentioned that they had to download a bunch of draft classes before finding one that worked. So, why not give that a shot? Download a few and see if any of them do the trick, especially if you want to avoid those auto-generated rookies!

I also suggest keeping an eye on the MaddenNFLDirect X (Twitter) handle as the social media team will notify you as soon as possible when the issue is fixed. You can also bookmark this page as I'll update this article once I have any official info from EA regarding this glitch.
