It's very aggravating because I was doing really good the first time and had to restart, started off even better than the first time just for it to do it again and now I have to restart again. This needs to be changed because it ruins the whole experience and kinda makes me not even want to play which is sad because I literally just bought it the other day. EA please fix this

I'm also having this problem, just with WR getting changed to QB. Already made a lot of progress and got my character to like 87 or 88 overall and now I'm in the same spot with getting dropped back to level 1 73 overall. Need help!
- 3 years ago@JordanV8312 same thing here man it's done at like six times now. I'm done trying until they fix it!!

Same issue here. I have now started FIVE different careers in Face of the Franchise mode, starting as a variety of different positions (HB, LB, WR). I have never made it farther than Week 4 of my second season before experiencing this bug. My player is suddenly shown as a QB as opposed to whatever position I chose and played as at the start, and I now have QB skills/stats instead of the correct ones for my position.
As an offline player (almost exclusively FotF and Franchise modes), Madden 23 is essentially unplayable for me right now. Complete waste of $70 and VERY disappointing to say the least.

Which mode has this happened in? Face of the Franchise
Summarize your bug Regardless of what position my player starts his career as, he is always spontaneously converted to the QB position. I have never made it farther than a few weeks into my second season without this happening. When it does, my character becomes terrible as all of the skill points and progression earned so far went towards making him better at his actual position, not QB (e.g., my 87 OVR LB is suddenly a 70 OVR QB because LBs don't have have or need throw power or throw accuracy statistics. However, he does become the best tackling/hardest hitting QB in the league literally overnight...). After the unexpected switch, there does not appear to be any way to change my player's position back. I am forced to delete the save file and start a whole new career.
How often does the bug occur? I have experienced this bug in every FotF career I have started at any position other than QB (five times total)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start any FotF career at a non-QB position. Play a few games, then close Madden 23 or restart the console. The closing/updating of the game and/or restarting the console appears to be the trigger for the switch of positions.
What happens when the bug occurs? Non-QB player is suddenly forced to play QB. See further details in summary above.
What do you expect to see? My created player continuing to play the position I chose at the start of his career.

Summarize your bug Every time I start a LB career it turns it into a QB career. BUT when I click on it on the QB save it says I'm a LB but have QB abilities. For example my X factor is fear monger but in the middle of the season it switches my X factor to run and gun. It has happened 3 times.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play as a LB and at some point of the season it will change the X factors and superstar to QB abilities
What happens when the bug occurs? It turns it into a QB save and gives me QB abilities as a LB.
What do you expect to see? To be a LB all season (with it's fear monger X factor) and have it as a LB save.

Summarize your bug Started the game mode as a HB. Made it through half of the season and it switched my position to QB and reset all my skill and stats I had earned. Now I can only earn skill points as a QB, which is not the position it allows me to play in.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game through mid season of FotF in any position other than QB.
What happens when the bug occurs? Your player will automatically convert to a QB and all skills points earned will reset.
What do you expect to see? I expect the game to function as it was intended to.
