Exploring the New Quarterback Traits in Madden 26 and Their Impact

The new QB Traits in Madden 26 aim to bring a slice of reality into the game, allowing players like Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson to perform just like they do in real life. This feature introduces a total of 50 new traits, not all of which are exclusive to quarterbacks, but you can find the complete breakdown in the Madden 26 QB Traits guide.

Here’s the full list of Madden 26 QB Traits and Player Traits, all grounded in real-world stats. Take Josh Allen, for instance. He possesses the “Run Over” trait, which increases his chances of powering through contact while scrambling instead of opting to slide or run out of bounds. This trait was assigned based on his performance over the last two NFL seasons, where he led the league with 54% of his scrambles resulting in at least three yards after contact.
