The latest instalment of the long running Madden franchise is here with Madden 26. As always the game features a host of achievements/trophies that are easy to get as long as you know what to do. That's where we come in. This guide will help you unlock the "Future Of The Franchise" achievement/trophy.
Custom Fantasy Draft In Franchise
While you can get this in any franchise mode by getting lucky and playing normally, we're gonna speed the process up.
You want to start a franchise mode and choose whatever team you'd like. The key to this is making sure you select "custom roster" and "start at fantasy draft".
When it's your turn to draft you will want to select QB Cam Ward. Switch to the QB only list to find him easier. He's rated pretty low so you will have to scroll down to about #75. If you do this you will earn the "Stud Finder" achievement/trophy as well if you haven't already.

After you draft Ward you will want to go to the roster screen and edit Cam Ward. In the edit screen you will want to tab over to rating and change his development to "superstar X factor". Once you save your edits and back out the achievement might unlock. If it doesn't go back to your roster section and select Ward again and it should unlock.

That's all there is to this one and it is quite easy to do! For more Madden 26 achievement/trophy guides check below as we cover a few.
