Question 1

Which games does this work with?

Accepted Answer

All three editions are available now: Madden NFL 27, College Football 27, and MLB The Show 26. You enter the data yourself, so each workbook also works for older versions of the same game or any similar franchise or dynasty save.

Question 2

What actually comes in the football workbook?

Accepted Answer

Four linked tabs. Start Here gives you the setup checklist, the 1-5 potential scale, and the colour legend. Scouting Reports holds 200+ players with position-aware attributes, dev traits, strengths, weaknesses, and a one-line verdict. Roster & Depth Chart pulls every one of those values in automatically and flags the spots where your starter grades a 2 or lower. Season Notes is the dated decision log - signed, cut, traded, drafted - with the reasoning and the outcome, so year six still makes sense.

Question 3

Is the baseball edition compatible with MLB The Show 26?

Accepted Answer

Yes - the baseball edition is built around MLB The Show 26 franchise mode as a 10-tab workbook: start here, scouting reports, prospect grades, draft board, roster and depth chart, contracts and budget, trade tracker, game-day call sheet, season log, and reference. It covers separate hitter and pitcher report layouts, 20-80 present and future grades mapped onto in-game ratings, future value and risk, ETA to the majors, and depth across all six levels (MLB, AAA, AA, A+, A, rookie). Because you type in the data yourself, it also works for MLB The Show 24 and 25 saves and other baseball sim franchises.

Question 4

What are Opponent Game Plans?

Accepted Answer

Printable defensive call sheets built for one specific Madden NFL 27 opponent. Each sheet runs seven sections: formation counters (base call, change-up, blitz, and their most dangerous play), run concept counters with line slants and gap fits, pass concept counters with the pre-snap tells, down-and-distance defaults with their tendency percentages, personnel grouping matches, red zone calls split by yard line, and 2-minute calls by time and score. New opponents are added through the season, and All-Access members can request the next one.

Question 5

Do I need to be good at spreadsheets?

Accepted Answer

No. Start Here walks you through it, every input cell is colour-coded, and most fields are dropdowns. Grey cells calculate themselves - you never write a formula. If you can type a player name and pick a grade from a list, you can run the whole thing.

Question 6

Excel or Google Sheets?

Accepted Answer

Both. You get an .xlsx file for Excel and a make-a-copy Google Sheets version. Formulas, drop-downs, and conditional formatting work in each. The call sheets are laid out to print cleanly on a single page.

Question 7

What do updates include?

Accepted Answer

All-Access members get every sport edition plus every yearly refresh (new game year - Madden 27 to 28, rebalanced grade scales, updated position sets), any in-season formula fixes, and new Opponent Game Plans as they're released, for as long as the membership is active. The one-time $19 workbook covers the current rosters only - you keep the file you downloaded, but there are no refreshes, no ratings browser, and no game plans.

Question 8

How often is the MLB The Show edition updated?

Accepted Answer

One major refresh per game year, released alongside each new MLB The Show, plus in-season updates when ratings scales, position sets, or formulas need adjusting. All-Access members get every one of those automatically in the members area. One-time workbook buyers get the version that's current when they buy.

Question 9

Can I cancel the membership?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel at any time. Your membership stays active until the end of the term you already paid for, and you keep members-area access and downloads for that whole period. Nothing renews after that.

Question 10

What is the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

All sales are final - there are no refunds after purchase. These are instant-download digital files, so once you have access the sale is complete. You can cancel a membership at any time and you'll keep access until the end of your paid term. If a file won't open or something looks broken, email us - we'll fix it or get you a working copy.
