Franchise IR Issue/Bug

This was a problem last year too. That seriously sucks it carried over...needs to addressed asap as it really ruins a good season.

it's because Madden is an NFL game that doesn't understand NFL rules. there are all kinds of things like this that just straight up don't align with how the league actually functions. in addition to IR blatantly functioning incorrectly, the practice squad rules are wrong, gameday inactives are entirely missing, no CPU draft trades... they're just winging it on this stuff, there's no actual representation of how the NFL operates.

You’re absolutely right but me being dumb and buying into the hype for this game, with it being their contract year, I figured they would’ve attempted to fix these things.

You can also throw in how contracts work. Why can’t we front load or backend contracts? Allow us more flexibility with the cap. CPU players demanding trades. Unable to resign a star player or a player of high rating should trigger some dispute, either them asking for a trade or sitting out games. Or the fact that same stats aren’t even tracked like dropped passes or qb hits/pushers. 

Yeah IR is glitched. Doesn’t appear to be a workaround either except to not put players on IR.

By now I was hoping they would try to roll out a hot fix for it since it impacts franchise severely but seems like I was wrong. Gonna have to hope either by the end of the week or next week when they do their first big update that they address it. Just sucks when you get a season full of injuries and basically have to play with a much smaller roster.  

Yeah, it's been messed up in the previous Madden as well. I have only put useless players on IR, such as an old 30-something year old, and I'm trying to get him to retire, or some guy I'm not gonna re-sign anyway.

Yeah I was initially going to say I thought that was included in tomorrow's update, but it's definitely the next one which does really suck. At least we know it's coming by what the notes said though

I knew players unable to return from IR was a bug in 25, so I'm glad I checked before I placed key players on IR in my franchise. 

With all they did with franchise mode, you would think they would have fixed this. I'm grateful for the much improved gameplay over the last 2 Madden iterations, but this was supposed to be the year they finally gave franchise mode some love. Instead, they "fixed" what wasn't broken while ignoring known bugs, and added a bunch of crap nobody asked for. Coaches now have loadouts like I'm playing a freakin' FPS. 😒 

YES,  I’m having same issue with my 1 and only Franchise Offline. Game was causing insane amount of injuries every game even tho I had injury turned down to 18. An 2 of my best players went out with 6 week injuries so I put them on IR in week 4, forgot about Maddens 8 week IR, but I’m now well past the 8 weeks, it’s week 15 that’s now 11 weeks later and even tho I have kept 2 open roster spots for 4 weeks now I’m still not getting the Return from IR Tab showing up on their Player page. Doesn’t matter if I try it from injury report or rosters. This is bull. And in week 14 I even tried turning on Auto Injury management, advanced to week 15 an no difference.

I have sent in so many reports on all the problems with this new game and get no response or results, and then after the update they did this past week I’ve now found NEW problems. Now I’m no longer getting Right Stick Up response from the game, NO Truck Stick animation or response and NO RIP Pass Rush response. But all other directions work and when I play any other game the controls work fine. WHAT are you guys doing to this game. Is NO ONE even trying to fix anything or is it one poor dude in India supposed to be handling it all.

GET IT TOGETHER EA and MADDEN. I’ve never been so angry with a game in my life. How do u have a pretty solid an workin game for years and then just ruin it this year.
