Madden NFL 26 Franchise Bugs

Bunch of issues in Franchise mode 8/29/25.  I’ve never experienced so many **bleep** bugs in a Madden game ever, in fact I feel like it’s never been anywhere even close to this smh.

1. started playing a game and randomly my defensive playbook was frozen. It would clear when timer was up and allow the game to play the next play but then would come back to picking a play and was still frozen on the same page as before. Zero ability to change play, pick play, go up or down, or back out etc. I had to quit the **bleep** game.
2. Setting up to play game, try to pick uniforms and uniform image isn’t loading, another time image would load but wouldn’t change as I cycle options. Then another time image would load for away team but then when I switch to home team image wouldn’t load. Each time I tried backing out an reopening an other stuff an nothing helped.
3. played 1 franchise game vs decent Minn Vikings and it was close to what I would expect for a difficulty with the settings I use, I progress to the next week where I’m facing the Panthers an based on in game rankings they’re considerably worse and lower rated on all levels, I never touched any difficulty or sliders between games, and when I go in to play the game this team is F’n smashing me in every phase of the game. So I quit the game an go check settings wondering if I somehow changed something by accident, and everything looks just like I had it. I start new game against Panthers and same **bleep** is happening…..
4. (Not in a game) At the Franchise Home menu screen 50% of the time when I click L1/R1 to switch tabs, it’s not showing that I’m in the correct tab. I’ll actually be in the Options Tab but game is still highlighting that I’m in the Home Tab. That is constantly messing me up.
5. Also 3 games in a row now I’ve had Roughing the Kicker Penalties on Punts, 2 of the games had 2 of these Penalties each. So that’s 5 of them, an it’s one of the AI players hitting the punter late.  Obviously it should happen occasionally like in reality, but I have Penalties set at default cause it’s my first few games into Madden 26 Franchise so I’m testing it out. So default settings accept I have Running into the kicker turned off. Ya’ll need to fix the AI so it’s not committing stupid **bleep** pretty rare penalties every game a sometimes multiple times. 

Please do your jobs and fix all this crap. Sad thing is based off what I’m seeing/hearing it looks like there’s a bunch more I haven’t come across yet. How do you put out a product with this many issues. What happened to game companies giving a **bleep** about producing a quality product? Sure a there’s gonna be some bugs, but idk how u can miss all the stuff I’m seeing a reading about smh. Don’t think I’m gonna keep buying each years Madden anymore.
