  • Dear EA Team,

    i just want to inform you about an bug on the Madden 22 PC - Version, which is unfortnatly still current gen :(, but its fine, anyways.. The bug im talking about is that simply all rookies do not have their player faces in the Menu. There are simply black placeholder.
    I saw the Problem in the pc version on many accounts of firend and youtuber. Its an annoying bug which destroys the emersion of the game. Please fix it fast. I know the PC version dont get many Love but i hope u cn fix this bug. In exhibition / play now mode the player faces are visible but not in franchise mode.

    Thanks EA Team
    Have a nice Release Day Week.

    @Neo_Novalis, I loaded an Active roster, (importing active roster) on Online and the rookie players photos actually do load. The problem must just be with using Real Life NFL Roster on Online.

    Thank you for acknowledging this issue.

    @Neo_Novalis, I also found that some players even on the NFL rosters located on the home screen have the black outlines. I could totally understand this with NEWLY added players like during the season. But with high profile rookie players I don't.

    Again thank you for acknowledging this issue.

    Basically all rookie players and coaches have black stock photos as there pictures in lineups rosters etc in all my franchise saves but outside of franchise they have their faces in the rosters

  • Every time I go to upgrade my staff the game crashes and takes me back to the Xbox home screen. Also the game continues to reset my score of the home team to 0 on offline franchise. I do NOT PLAY any other modes of Madden, this is the only one.

    Please patch these issues quickly! The game is worthless as it is right now. 

  • Welcome to the club, my game has been crashing since Tuesday. I haven't been able to play any games yet. 

  • Will this be addressed with update prior to the beginning of the season? Please put the player images in for ALL players. Totally unacceptable that this has not been done. I don't want to see blank faces - I want to see that actual players.

    No create a team and this issue year after year....it's a joke.
