All Madden NFL 26 Scouting Combine Answers Revealed

Select Language:

In the Superstar mode of Madden NFL 26, the Combine is your chance to showcase your custom player’s skills and aim to be the top draft pick. There are many physical tests, but the Combine Interview is just as important because it helps teams get to know you off the field. Giving thoughtful, good answers during the interview can significantly boost their opinions of you and improve your draft position.

Some responses you choose during the Combine Interview will also influence your athlete’s Sphere of Influence—the system that connects your character with other players and team members. Certain individuals can give you advantages, making your athlete more attractive to teams. Building these relationships can unlock additional benefits later, especially once you’ve been recruited to a team.

There are 10 potential questions during the Combine, with some questions tailored to specific positions. For example, linebackers will get a unique question that wide receivers or defensive linemen won’t see. While no answer is outright wrong, each response offers different benefits that can help your athlete perform better on the field or support your long-term franchise goals.

All questions are multiple-choice, allowing you to pick answers that best suit your strategy. Some choices may boost your influence with certain player types or coaches, while others might focus on traits or skills valuable for your draft prospects.

Below is a detailed chart of each question and the possible responses, along with what benefits they provide:
