Xbox series X turns off while playing
I get Madden and CFB 26. I've played these games for years Im a paying customer I love these games but I can see EA doesn't care. It's been a month since CFB 26 came out multiple reports of the game crashing and there's nothing. I thought maybe just maybe Madden will be different. I was wrong. Now I can't even play CFB 26 or Madden 26 without it turning off my Xbox Series X. It's fine EA I know you don't care and you want even see this but you guys lost a loyal customer. I hope it gets fixed for everyone else probably 5 months down the road. Gamertag: Keygold23 Console: Xbox Series X Ill just put my info for EA so maybe they can give me some compensation for buying their product and not being able to use it.
PC stuttering and performance still unacceptable
I wanted to create a new discussion since the originally reported issue is marked as "solved" and it is clearly not. We need an ETA for a fix asap since the game has been unplayable for a week now - only 2 months after game release! Since the update a week ago (21-Oct-2025) PC performance is unplayable with lag spikes and stuttering when playing any online game. No graphics settings seem to help and the provided workaround only helps with offline modes... this is NOT A VIABLE SOLUTION for online modes (which is 99% of how we play the game). There has been no ETA for a fix and I just tried a H2H game now and the issue is still present. MaddenNFLDirect X post for reference - I encourage those impacted to post there as well.
10/22/25 Update Completely broke the game for me.
Playing franchise mode and quick play and I have BAD stuttering. Had no FPS issues prior to the patch. My GPU (RTX 4090) usage seems to stick around ~50%, whereas it was always over 70-80% before the patch. What I've tried : Updated Nvidia drivers, rebooted PC (No difference) Fullscreen -> Bordeless windowed, fps cap at 120, then 60, then 30 (No difference) Switching graphics quality : High -> Low -> Ultra (doesn't seem to make a difference, same stuttering occurs at all levels) Switched v-sync on/off, already have G-Sync enabled (No change) Set GPU preference in display settings for Madden 26 to my RTX 4090 (no change in performance) It's unplayable for me right now. Game alternates between 30/60 fps and 5 fps every half second. This patch made the game unplayable.
EA "An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later."
Does anyone know a solution to this problem, I had this problem for 2 days and tried everything. I tried clearing my cache, reinstalling the game, Verifying the game files, everything. Nothing seems to work. Is there any EA workers that know how to fix this problem.
