Madden 23 server issue: cannot access Face of the Franchise mode
I am experiencing a recurring connection issue when trying to access Face of the Franchise on Madden NFL 23. Every time I attempt to load the mode, I receive the following error message: “Our Servers are currently experiencing a high volume of traffic and cannot process your request to access this league at this time. Please try again later. We apologize for any inconvenience. You have been returned to the Main Menu.” This issue has persisted for several days, making the game mode completely unplayable. I have already opened support cases, but so far I have not received any response or solution. I would like to know if anyone in the community is facing the same problem and whether someone has found any workaround, solution, or official update about this issue. Since this is one of the main modes in the game, I believe many players may be affected, and any shared information would be helpful1.4KViews14likes18CommentsMadden 2005 XBOX
My son has had issues with this game on his original xbox. It worked at one time and then it quit showing a kick meter .... at all. None. It kicks ok but no meter and no aim but sometimes it is accurate. Also, sometimes the ball goes to wrong person even though he uses the right button. We bought a new (used) game and it does the same. Could it be in the memory? Is this a typical thing? He is having a hard time and wants to play it. He has it for PS2 and it works well so it's not him...but this xbox. Help please. I am at a loss to try and help.RobbyBogg15 days agoRising Newcomer20Views0likes0Comments[Suggestions] How to post and discuss your suggestions?
If you would like to share and/or discuss your ideas about features, gameplay or addons etc. or how to improve the game, please have a look at the Madden Suggestions Index if other players already made similar suggestions. The higher the number of players either giving XP to the suggestions made or click the "me too" button, the higher the likelihood that the dev team will consider and prioritize the suggestion. If you would like to make a (new) suggestion yourself, I'd propose to add the term "[Suggestion]" at the beginning of the thread title. Furthermore, the more self-explanatory the title, the more likely it is that other players will find your proposal and support it. I'd strongly recommend to focus on one specific suggestion in your threads. The Madden team has to prioritize what suggestions are picked up and implemented. The more focused your suggestions, the more likely other players will support it (either by clicking the "me too" and/or the "XP" buttons). If you would like to share more ideas, please post them in different threads to allow a more homogeneous discussion within the respective thread if other players would like to support or discuss your idea. This is more difficult if your suggestions are more widespread. Have fun and good luck!3.2KViews0likes17Comments- 1KViews0likes3Comments
Fix challenge system or call plays right.
I'm really hoping upcoming Madden's they either fix the challenge system.Because I was playing the game and a guy clearly dropped the ball.And they didn't even let me challenge that play, or at least make the calls right?Too many glitches.SilverBear00713 days agoRising Novice15Views0likes0CommentsWhy is the CPU so unrealistic?
The defense the CPU gets is so overpowered. My WR could be wide open, the the DB behind him speed boosts and picks it off. Also, sometimes when I'm on defense, when I go for the tackle, my player goes right by him when the CPU doesn't juke spin or anything like that. Another thing, sometimes I want to challenge a pass interference or a hold, but when I try to challenge, it says there's nothing to challenge. Another thing is how common picks are in the game, I could be running slants and the DB would speed boost, get Infront of the WR and pick it off. Another thing, why does my defense leave WR wide open, a WR ran a curl he wasn't open, then my DB ran like 15 yards up field leave him open. Another thing, my WR could get a little open, I throw them the ball and they drop it if from a very very very very light hit, but when I'm on defense, they NEVER drop the ball. the only way that ever happens is if its a bad pass, straight to my defense, or I manually swat the ball away when the DB is super close to the WR. Their are many more problems like this, so could you please fix these glitches or tell me how to fix it?Solved1.9KViews1like2CommentsThe age old question… sim vs comp for franchise?
Hey guys, im wanting to start a franchise in 23 but I have no idea which game style to use when game releases. I keep seeing mixed feedback on both SIM and COMP. This will be a 32 user league i realize sim has more random events, but does COMP not have penalties/long term injuries? Do player rating not matter in COMP? any detailed feedback would help greatlyLoaf2916 days agoRising Rookie481Views0likes2CommentsFont size menus
Are there any talks about fixing the font size on the menu screens and game screens. I have a difficult time reading a lot of the information. There’s so much wasted space on the screen and it makes it difficult to see. It seems like everything is crammed into the smallest space and font for no reason.9Views0likes0CommentsMADDEN 22 PS5 Broken
I understand the servers shutdown for the game. however since that server shutdown NONE of the trophies will unlock for PS5 on the game. Even single player. surely this was not the intention is there anything you guys can do to review? No one has unlocked trophies on this games in almost a month for Madden 22 PS5 Xbox series version works fine and so does the PS4…184Views1like3CommentsDid EA add back ability to switch teams during Franchise game? They need to.
For years Madden and even NCAA football allowed ability to switch teams during a franchise game. Not just an exhibition. Ever since online gaming became a thing, this function was removed. Can it be added back? Not everyone plays online for franchise. To add variety some of us off line gamers like the variety to be able to play a game as one team and switch it up each QTR. I control all 32 teams, and choose 8 (1 from each division) and I used to be able to switch teams when the ones I controlled met head to head. Now all I can do is SIM it and it takes a lot of fun and spontaneity out of the experience.1.1KViews3likes5Comments- 14Views0likes0Comments
My last name is alerted as profane language.
To whom this may concern, I pre-ordered Madden as I do each year and I was excited to get started for the early release date. Upon loading the game it asks to enter your name and information to create a player (as it would in face of the franchise or any other mode where a player is created). When entering my last name i was prompted with an error saying it is unable to input my name due to profane language. My last name is BENDER. I have been able to use my name in every game up to Madden 21, and even have had in game announcers say my name during gameplay in past editions. Why does my last name not work in Madden 21? My last name is not profane language. Is there any way to get this patched so that I can use my last name for customization purposes? Thank you kindly, Erek BenderSolved30KViews14likes376CommentsFranchise offline - unable to enter owner name when choosing owner mode.

I was thinking about the way rosters have been made and people make rosters for like madden 12 or something, and something cool I thought of was being able to do custom schedules. If you wanted to use the madden 12 roster you can customize the schedule to fit that year for realism. I personally think it would be a great idea for the people who like realism. Also, if they do team builder challenges they can use any team and customize the schedule to make them match up.Dinoshark5027 days agoNewcomer13Views0likes0CommentsUnable to install Madden 23
We have a disc version of Madden 23 for Xbox One and while trying to install through the disc it fails because of a known issue with our disc drive where it doesn’t handle installing through discs very well. I went to install it through the Xbox mobile app but it does not show up on there. Is it not possible to install it through the Xbox mobile app?37Views0likes0CommentsHouse Rules Wont Load
