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 🙄🥴.Make your voice heard - Join EA Player Pulse!

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.

Not happy With Madden 24
To: EEA Sports Customer Support Subject: Feedback and Concerns Regarding Madden 24 Gameplay - Passing Interference Issues Dear EEA Sports Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to express my dissatisfaction with the gameplay in Madden 24, specifically concerning the treatment of passing interference. As an avid player and long-time fan of the Madden series, I've noticed a recurring issue that significantly impacts the enjoyment and fairness of the game. In Madden 24, there seems to be an excessive amount of uncalled passing interferences during matches. These non-calls are not only frustrating but also detract from the realism that the series is renowned for. The frequency of these overlooked penalties disrupts the flow of the game, often giving an unfair advantage to one side, which undermines the competitive balance and strategic depth of the gameplay. Furthermore, I am disappointed by the lack of an option to challenge these no-calls. In real-life football, coaches have the ability to challenge controversial plays, including potential passing interferences. The absence of a coach challenge feature for these situations in Madden 24 is a significant oversight. It removes a crucial layer of tactical decision-making from players, diminishing the game's authenticity and the player's control over critical moments. The combination of frequent uncalled passing interferences and the inability to challenge such calls is detracting from the overall gaming experience. It feels as though the game is missing an essential element of football, which is the ability to address and rectify potential officiating errors. I kindly urge the development team to consider these points and explore possible solutions. Whether it be through a game update or a patch, addressing the issue of uncalled passing interferences and introducing a feature for coach challenges would greatly enhance the gameplay, ensuring it aligns with the high standards expected from the Madden franchise. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am looking forward to seeing improvements in the game and continuing to enjoy the Madden series. Best regards, Robert L.Robinson
Madden 24 Passing Is NOT Fun
Let me preface this by saying that I play simulation style. So I'm looking to use the stock playbook and I don't construct unbeatable route concepts. I see people say things like "put your running back(s) on a streak," and that's just the antithesis of how I think sports sim should be played. My expectation is that I should be able to use the stock playbooks with minimal adjustments here and there (as would make sense) and still have a playable game. I think we all accept that inaccurate passing exists in the NFL. It makes sense for low-percentage plays to be low-percentage plays. It does NOT make sense for high percentage plays to be low percentage plays. Madden 24 punishes your accuracy far too frequently, and in the wrong ways. If a QB has a clean pocket, he should be able to deliver an accurate pass generally in some scenarios, and not generally in others. Madden treats these all as the same, and applies highly punitive accuracy penalties when there shouldn't be any. For example, if my WR runs a 5 yard out, and he is open, and I have a clean pocket, this should be an accurate throw the vast majority of the time. These throws are often inaccurate. Without using the joystick to attempt any kind of precision, I would expect an accurate throw, coming from a clean pocket. This is not the case. High percentage plays should be accurate. An example of such a play would be the I-Form Close Double Outs play. On the next step, it does feel like the further down the field you go, the less accurate passing becomes, which in general sounds fine, but it isn't entirely correct. For example, consider the play I-Form Close PA Deep Read. It's in quite a few playbooks. These WRs actually physically stop and if you throw at their break it is timed nicely, and a solid concept. There are plenty of defenses that defend this. I have no objection to that. I do object when my WR runs this route, and the timing is beautiful, yet the throw comes out 5 yards to the left or right. There is no earthly reason for this level of inaccuracy. This specific type of route is not a low percentage in regards to accuracy. However, because it is technically not a short route, it is met with the typical accuracy penalties that apply to deeper routes. I would encourage you to run these plays and observe how your QB behaves from a clean pocket. You will see in game that your throws will be inaccurate for no apparent reason. This is mirrored across a lot of plays regardless of formation. Where we should see accuracy penalties are on the low-percentage, deep passes, where a QB is throwing 20+ air yards to a target running outside or down the sideline. These throws are notoriously challenging in the NFL, and missing a little deep or a little left or right is acceptable here because of the high degree of precision required. There is no reason for these plays to receive the same penalties that the other plays I mentioned do, but here we are. Ultimately I would expect that a QB with a clean pocket should be able to deliver an accurate ball. That doesn't mean the ball can't be defended, or miss because the route timing was disrupted and the ball was thrown with anticipation as it should be. But this isn't the case and it's infuriating. The Defensive Backs in this game are incredibly obnoxious with their route jumping ability and their knockout ability. Their range for interceptions is monstrous, and they attack the ball relentlessly. The biggest issue I can see is that they don't really pay a cost for changing direction, or a penalty when reacting to a pass. I'm sure EA has plenty of data about this, but, when games have 5-6 INTs on each side of the ball, something is very very wrong. I see more interceptions - both from the CPU, and from my DBs - than I do sacks from my defensive line. I accept that there will be plays where no one is open because every single WR loses on his route. My problem here is that WRs do win on their routes, but due to inaccuracy and frankly CPU DB supermen making insane catch-up speed plays and intercept the ball or knock it out. There is a difference between throwing a contested pass and throwing a pass to an open WR, only for the defense to suddenly have unrealistic response and intercept the pass. I defy anyone to try and throw a curl route of any kind. Against man coverage, they will jump it. Against zone coverage, they will jump it. And suddenly a route that has a realistic chance is a low percentage play. I will accept that passing in m24 is a low percentage game, and that a sub-50% completion percentage is intended, but if that's the case, and the CPU defense is going to behave this way, I would expect that my defense also behave that way. Additionally, if DBs are going to make ridiculous super human plays to disrupt passing, the interception rate should be lower, as open doesn't mean open. Which is really the crux of this. Open doesn't mean open. A WR runs to a soft spot in the zone and stops, with timing this is a high percentage play. But the defense reaction speed is insane and these plays that should be easy are interceptions at a very high rate. I'm aware that you can go to YouTube and find a way to use the Jets playbook to exploit the fact that Verticals is a joke and can score way more often than it should, or putting "this guy on a streak, that guy on a comeback, and you're guaranteed the corner route." I'm aware that run blocking is very good, and that mixing passing and running is the best way to create passing opportunities. I'm aware of this. I play simulation and my pass/run is generally very good and balanced. I would strongly recommend EA publish recommended simulation sliders for 10, 12, and 15 minute quarters. Or, have the difficulty automatically adjust based on overall game length. The volume of interceptions is perfectly valid for 5 minute quarters with a runoff to 25 seconds. It's not valid for 10+ minute quarters, as an example. I would also strongly recommend you classify routes - not plays - for accuracy penalties, coverage adjustments, etc. Take the time to categorize things appropriately. Low percentage plays should be low percentage, but high percentage plays must be exactly that, or it's wildly immersion breaking.
Disappearing Franchise player
Austin Ekeler disappeared when I made it to the playoffs in franchise mode as head coach. They're still on the team. Still in the depth chart. Not injured. But for some reason it has the backups in and the starters wont take the field. When I try to select the play by player all the plays are just non existent. Franchise mode messed up year two in a row. Just dumped hours into this one and just quit bc I cant even play my starters. RIP thanks EA (not my photos but same exact issue) -fatigue mode is also off
Madden rewards
Madden rewards is not showing correct number of packs opened. It shows I have only opened 61. When I had the companion app it showed over 5000 opened. I have spent thousands on madden 24. I have not received any gifted packs from ea. I used to get them alot, I used to get daliys that were 1 coin or a 100. I havenot got those since the summer . I will have to think about it before I spend another dime on Madden. I'm very upset over this
Create a Female Player Option
My wishlist is to have an option to create a female player. remembered in Madden NFL 2011, there was a female quarterback in the game. The NHL series also has a create a female player option. There have been female football players in high school, college and Indoor football league. It would be cool to create a female quarterback.Yall really need to look at defender movement
I dont think its ever been worse in any madden ever even if u know the exact thing thats coming the defensive player movement is so slow and janky theyre not even capable of getting to the spot u are literally oushijg thek to go to for 5 seconds plus its god awful. And the fact that u have to run in citcles with your player pre snap to be able to control his kovelent immediately post snap is absolutely absurd and whoever cant fix this should be fired immediately- its so bad it's laughable. U made a football that the only way i can control my players actual movements immediately post snap is if im running in a circle - if i dont - the player does some ridiculous computer animation getting him way out of position and this is even if im the user on the defensive player. I mean how absurd can it get the amount of disadvantages this puts u in is so ridculous its hard to continue playing. Like why cant i control thr defensive player im usering!!!! Its so bad u guys should be ashamed youve soent all this time and u can control a player immediately lost snap without running in a circle. I mean fire the man in oversight of this. Completely laughable. 2k would make a way better game i have zero doubts about that.
