Franchise Cross-Play Lag/Delay
So me and my friends found out they finally added cross play to franchise mode and we just tested it out. Has anyone actually been able to get through a whole game without any stutters or delays? I’m on Xbox and my friend is on PC and sometimes his view is delayed from what I’m seeing during these games. Also on my end, whenever I try to choose a play other than coach suggestions, sometimes the play menu freezes then disappears and nothing happens for 20 seconds then I’m suddenly on the field with 2 seconds left on the play clock. I just want to know what other people’s cross platform franchise experience has been like cause we have tried 3 times and got the same laggy delayed game that was unbearable. We couldn’t choose any plays out of coach suggestions or no huddle without the game starting to delay and stutter one of us.
What happened to MUT Draft?
What happened to MUT Draft? MUT Draft used to be favorite mode to play, it was fun because you got to use players you might not otherwise get to try/buy. MUT Draft now has been completely NEGLECTED just like most other aspects of this game. The first problem is that drafting teams is completely broken. I have drafted multiple teams with over +5 TE positions, as it repeatedly offers the TE position even though you have already drafted one. The second problem with this mode is the rewards. We used to earn touchdown packs for winning the 6 games of the draft. Now you only get 8k in coin and one elite card. It’s completely ridiculous reward for the amount of effort required to win 6 competitive games. Is it really too much to give a touchdown pack for winning your draft? Please Madden Devs update MUT Draft like how it used to be.
Tight Spiral Trait
In Franchise Mode, drafted a QB and he doesn’t have the trait. Third year with him and he was 60/40 throwIng ducks first year but now he’s throwing less ducks. Is there some point he develops the Tight Spiral Trait? I even looked in the edit player screen and didn’t see an option to activate. For reference I went to Trevor Lawrence edit screen (he has the trait) and I didn’t see an option to deactivate it.
Game-Breaking Exploit & Unfair Loss in Madden 24
I experienced a serious exploit in Madden 24 that resulted in an unfair loss. On 3/22/25-3/23/25 at 11 PM-approx 12:45pm, I was playing an online head-to-head game when my opponent used a glitch. For a few plays before halftime my opponents players did not appear on the field. At halftime, during the kickoff, my opponent’s players did not appear on the field. This made it impossible to continue the game. There was no play clock, so I was forced into a standoff for over 13 hours. Eventually, I received a message saying, "The connection to your peer has been lost." However, when I checked the results, I was wrongly given a loss. This is a major issue because: Players can force opponents into an unwinnable situation. There is no play clock or penalty for inactivity. The system incorrectly assigns a loss to the victim of the exploit. I would like EA to review the match, correct the loss if possible, and investigate this issue. Please look into this and patch the exploit so others don’t experience it.
Stop wrongful coin transfer bans
My friend who invested hours into grinding the game and having fun doing H2H’s and winning games together after long days of work was just recently banned from using the auction block due to his little brother getting onto his account and transferring coins from his other account to it. My friend (who’s currently overseas in the military) wasn’t even aware of what was going on until he called home to see if his brother got onto his account at all in which yes he did and was too young to understand EA’s rules. Not only is he upset about this and has made an appeal, I as well lose the urge to want to continue playing ultimate team if stuff like this happens. I just hope EA can understand what happens and can reverse that for him. We had good teams this year all made from blood sweat and tears.Make your voice heard - Join EA Player Pulse!

Offshore support in India is not helpful
Any time I have an issue with EA, I have to jump through hoops to get help. When I finally reach someone, they are always India. They are like robots using AI and robotic pre-written responses. I reported my issue to the BBB (better business bureau), but they don’t seem to care. I am missing packs and tens of thousands of XP points. I cannot level up. Their solution - clear my cache or wait until the next buggy version of madden comes out 🙄🥴.Quarterback Scrambling (Bug/Suggestion?)
I have been playing Madden for years and it's a good game. It's mostly clean and I've found very little holes in the coding logic. I noticed though there's an issue with QB scrambling. This has happened several times. The opposing QB scrambles to the side and has a wide open running path (around 10 yards usually). Then he throws it away. I've never seen this in a real football game. Is it intended? It seems like he should at least run until there is an opponent nearby, or be more aggressive if it is a scrambling QB. Just my two cents. It's one of the only improvements I could think of suggesting as a fan of the game.
