PC is unplayable (13 days so far)

As title, and other posts, state. Madden 26 has now been unplayable for 13 days straight, the only communication is a post marked as solved because it offers a fix that impacts some players in single player only. No one in multiplayer, and not everyone for single player, has a viable way to make the game playable. 

The specific issue is that it micro-stutters every second or something around that, rendering it impossible to make plays, control players, read the field etc... If you want a guess, it could be something to do with new data collection or something, and a mess up in coding (I would HEAVILY wager it's vibe coding with ai that did it) that just needs bug fixing. It's not a 2 week+ fix.

Please at least say something. If you are refusing to make a statement because there is no intention to fix it, then the justification for a refund is even greater than if you do. Americans, your kind of out of luck, europeans, you have valid justification to demand a refund. It will be easier through steam if the purchase was made there.

Any devs, customer support, community managers, literally anyone, please address the state of the game. I know its not your individual fault, but we as players are unable to paly a game we purchased that released 2 months ago. It is unacceptable from a consumer rights perspective, as no announcement was given within a timeframe to inform us we would be unable to utilize this product.

To anyone else impacted by it, make your own posts, the more this is the only thing anyone sees about the game, the more higher ups will be forced to put resources into fixing it. It is very clear that 2 weeks into the problem, they have/had no intention of fixing it. The game will not be playable without noise made.

  • When I spoke to customer support, they had no timeline for a fix and even said the investigation was not complete. They told me not to lose hope because a fix would be on the way soon, but based on the forums, EA has let several issues persist for months and does not care as long as the microtransactions work.

    It's really disappointing that a large company like EA can not even test their product before shipping updates and clearly have no clue what they are doing, as it has taken two weeks, and they still do not know the issue.

  • MaddenNFLDirect made an X post today saying tomorrow's patch is centered around fixing this, so we'll see what happens...
