Madden 26 Superstar mode Broken

Same

When is EA going to fix this issue?!!

You are lucky you got to play it this long! I haven’t been able to play since October and on a weekly basis an EA tech support person tells me it’s top priority and will be fixed asap. Same lines every week same result nothing happens and I can’t play superstar mode.

Two sons can both play on their systems in the same house but I can’t join them for a reason no one has been able to figure out for months. It’s a joke 

Does EA Sports even comprehend the number of paying customers who have seen the Superstar mode completely destroyed by this mind-numbing server related issue?  I experienced server related issues for the first time a month ago, and decided to uninstall the game, delete all data on the console and server, and reinstall to start over.

I was able to play the Superstar mode for only a few weeks before without warning I started getting the same data retrieval error messages that others have started threads here to report.  It has reached the point where you as a company are no longer even answering the bug report threads about it, even though that's the sub-forum here where such issues should be reported.  You've completely ignored both of the threads I created.

Well, I uninstalled the game a second time and deleted the data as well.  But, this time I won't be reinstalling the game.  The desire to play your game has been trashed by this needless server connection requirement linked to what should be an offline game mode.

EA Sports, is data collection on your customers in offline gaming really more important to you than the basic workmanship of the game itself?  It would be questionable to require a server connection for an offline game mode, but when that connection leads to data corruption and disables the entire game mode, then continuing to require it constitutes breach of faith and failure of basic marketability.  

These are legal standards and failing to meet them are reasons why companies get sued in class actions.  Is this really your objective?  It has been since October that this ugly server related bug has been experienced, and yet the glacial pace of feedback and updates indicates EA Sports doesn't care to fix the issue.

Mind you, I purchased the original Madden NFL game for Sega Genesis back in 1984.  Yep, I'm 62 years old.  But, when reliability issues cropped up years later, I stopped purchasing EA Sports games.  Then, I decided to take the plunge and purchase Madden NFL 26 after having a positive experience with NCAA College Football 26.  Well, this disappointing collapse of your only offline game mode has shown me your excellence in game performance is only matched by your refusal to make your game reliable.

It doesn't need to be this way, and it is such a shame when you allow this stuff to happen.

It amazes me that a company like EA Sports could act in the way they have.  I'm 62 years old.  So, I have seen how EA operates over many decades.  My first purchase of Madden NFL Football dated from 1984 with the Sega Genesis console.  The noteworthy point being that the games worked as advertised.  They were straightforward offline games and they did exactly what they promised.

Today, EA Sports has grown from the era where Trip Hawkins founded it, but along with the growth came a serious change.  This is why I avoided purchasing their games for many years.  The games became unreliable.  I decided to go with Madden NFL 26 because being retired I had the free time and the financial resources to purchase a video game on a lark.  Truth is, it started with the NCAA College  Football 26 game and ironically I have found that this game seems rock solid.

I purchased Madden NFL 26 because it said you could export your avatar player and continue the role playing game.  Seemed like fun, so I made the purchase.  Well, this is now my second negative experience where the game suddenly goes from  quite advanced in graphics and function to totally unplayable due to a mind-numbing server issue that apparently corrupts the core data for start up to the point where Superstar won't load.

So yes, given this, getting a free future title seems a bit pointless.  When a company shows it doesn't care about the quality of its product, one is best served to avoid the company entirely.  Free junk piled on top of junk you paid for isn't a smart move.  The saddest part of this is that when the Madden NFL 26 game worked, it was very well designed and functional.  But, if a needless and ultimately poorly designed server connection corrupts the data to the point of disfunction, then it no longer matters how well the game engine itself was designed.  If I was part of the coder team who designed the basic game, I would be quite infuriated that a needless server corruption ruined my hard work.

EA Sports should be ashamed of themselves.  I predict legal action on this issue.  EA cannot ignore their way out of this one.

How do you even get drafted in Superstar? I have never been able to get drafted to even really start my superstar 

Madden superstar mode keeps saying error every time I try to load play and has been doing that for a while
