EA_Shepard and Madden NFL 27 Development Team,
Can you confirm if this issue has been resolved?
This issue began October 22 and as of October 28, it has not been confirmed as resolved.
The Candy Store offers refresh on October 22, October 29, and November 5. The current rewards include:
- 89 OVR Most Feared Champion Fantasy Pack — 47,600 Candy
- Three 86 OVR Most Feared Hero Fantasy Packs — 12,050 Candy each
- 89 OVR BND Champion Fantasy Pack — 21,600 Candy
- Additional limited-quantity player packs and rewards
Players who could not access the Trick or Treat CPU event lost opportunities to earn Candy, improve their lineups, acquire valuable players, and participate in the same progression system available to unaffected players.
Several affected players have independently requested make-right compensation, and I support that request.
The measurable issue is the loss of access to a time-limited earning opportunity.
Affected players have also spent considerable time contacting support, reporting this defect, and testing unsuccessful workarounds instead of enjoying the game they purchased.
A reasonable make-right would address the disadvantage created by this technical failure, not provide an unfair competitive advantage.
EA, please provide an investigation update and confirm whether an appropriate make-right compensation is being considered.
If resolved today, October 28, 2026, there is not enough time for players to earn candy for the packs described to improve their lineups.
To other affected players: Please like this comment if you support a fair make-right and share how the disruption has affected your progression.
