This is ridiculous. Fix it now! the game has been out for almost two months, and it having constant issues! It's stuff like this that makes people dislike madden

I’m in week 8 now of the first year of a franchise. Deandre Hopkins, Burks, Henry play the first play of the game and then sits the rest of the game for McMath, Westbrook, and Julius Chestnut. Why does this happen? So annoying. They aren’t even injured.

So what’s going on is in about week 18 or playoffs in my madden franchise the game auto brings in all my bench players and there is no possible way around it my starters can’t start and stay in the game. It’s a glitch and I’ve messed with auto subs and fatigue and it dosent do anything it’s been a problem for a long time now and it’s making the game unplayable and not enjoyable for me so EA please fix this

My offline franchise is not working properly. When I get to playoff games I am unable to use many of my starters. I have put in a lot of time into my franchise and for some reason the game is not working correctly. My starters are not hurt and are listed as starting on my depth chart. Would like to have someone help me figure out why this is happening. Thank you.

Yes I’m having the same exact issue need help on how to fix it asap plz.

In franchise mode my starters at multiple positions such as HB, WR, DE, and S get swapped out for backups in those positions and the starters never play. Turning off progressive fatigue and setting the sub-out slider extremely low still haven’t fixed the issue. This wasn’t even an issue until year 2 week 10 in this franchise but nothing will fix this issue.

Idk why I continuously expect a multimillion dollar company to address issues that have existed for years but I obviously shouldn’t. There are countless threads about this same issue dating back to Madden 22 and EA support constantly ignores them and never provides a reply just expecting the community to fix their issues for them. I just love when companies can neglect their product and just exude incompetence at this level once they establish a monopoly over a market
