"As part of our ongoing commitment to authenticity, we've incorporated this record-setting event from the real NFL into the game,"
"The historic 70-yard field goal was an extraordinary achievement that pushed the boundaries of what's possible on the field. We brought this into Madden, giving players the chance to recreate this iconic moment themselves."
"Can't lie, there was probably a little bit of doubt," Little told ESPN in an interview. "But I mean, we attempted a lot of long field goals in training camp. Had some 60, probably 65-pluses before [in practice]. And so, you know, I really wanted to just go out there and see what it would do."
EA updated Madden 26 to raise the maximum distance that kickers with a 99 Kick Power Attribute (KPW) can attempt to 70-yard field goals. The change reflects Cam Little's historic 70-yard field goal during the 2025 NFL preseason against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which exceeded the previous regular-season record of 66 yards. Little said he had practiced many long field goals and acknowledged some doubt before attempting the kick. The update frames the kick as a record-setting achievement incorporated to let players recreate the moment. The jersey and shoe from the kick are displayed in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, though the kick does not count as an official NFL record because it occurred in the preseason.
