Franchise - Editing roster stats adds random years of experience to player

Product: Madden NFL 24
Platform:Steam-PC
Which console generation do you have? Microsoft Xbox Series S
What is your gamertag/PSN ID? mikemak206
Date/time issue occurred 8/15/2023
What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
Which mode has this happened in? Play Now
Summarize your bug From the main menu, when I use the edit roster feature to edit rosters, changing stats only, the edited player will have a random years of experience change. most often to 31yrs so after the first season of a franchise, those players will retire. I seen the same bug reported multiple times on reddit, and this makes franchise unplayable to me.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? try editing any player using the edit roster feature and notice how unintended changes will happen, especially their years of experience.
What happens when the bug occurs? Random changes to players that you didnt intend happen which makes staarting a franchise make no sense. 20yr old players will have 31yrs of experience so they will retire.
What do you expect to see? an update so the edit roster feature works for editing rosters

Doesn’t matter what you edit. Any player anything in those fields. Number change equipment change. Player image change for the players who just have an black silhouette. Experience years change to renadom numbers

@EA_Illium any news on when we can expect this to be resolved. This is back to back years where I can’t start a franchise at launch due to a game breaking bug. I imagine if this were MUT it would have been resolved in hours.

@ichad28 same here ... two years in a row of buying Madden Day one ... two years in a row of not being able to play ... two years in a row of radio silence and lack of empathy from EA

@EA_Illium your last update was over a week ago and we still have no update on when this game breaking issue will be fixed.
For most of us here on this thread this is TWO YEARS IN A ROW that the game is unplayable at launch and EA has failed to update us timely on a solution.
Can you offer us ANY updates?

@EA_Illium I know y'all are not the devs and our frustrations are not with you specifically but can you please try to give us an update on whether or not this will be resolved in the first title update? Thanks

Hi everyone,

This issue should be fixed with today's Title Update.

When you've got the chance, can you check and let us know if you're still seeing players' years of experience changing?

Thanks for sticking with us while we've been looking into this!
