Nothing that has been suggested is working for me. I played thru 5 franchise seasons with no issues then WHAM got hit and havent been able to complete a game yet. Tried to start a new season nothing...the No quit doesnt work, deleting the data utility doesnt work, nothing works..is this EVER going to be fixed

Does anyone know if EA will refund us if we don't have a store receipt? If they aren't going to acknowledge or fix this I want my 60+ dollars back, and they can have their game back, since it doesn't even work. Jesus EA WTF is wrong with you?

Crashing for me as well. What the hell??
First online sucks, now I can't even play CFM???
What the **bleep** kind of a game is this anyway?This is the first time I ever posted something in a forum like this. This is ridiculous. How can such a bad game even be released??

Having the freeze on game exit in offline career mode on xbone - just came on here and found the 'no' quit work around. I've had this happen about 10 times intermittently in the past month.
What that amounts to is about 10 hours of my time totally wasted (playing a video football game is already a pretty big waste). It is beyond frustrating.
Bottom line: EA Sports is complete garbage. Fix your product.

Having the same issue with post-game freeze still...and it is the end of f-ing October!!
After reading through this and some other forums endlessly, some key points are:
a) EA is SUPPOSEDLY working on this issue (read the reply from Barry to someone, somewhere)
b) EA please dont tell us "its your console" because thousands of people are having this issue with the broken game.
c) Some people found TEMP workarounds, with varying success (do not work the same for everyone):
- "Quit = No" approach which works for SOME people
- Cancelling auto-loading of saved files after pressing the Start button (there is a youtube video on this), apparently also works for some people.
- Deleting Game Data Utility and reinstalling the game every time you turn on your console to play (appears to have most success, but major, major pain).
d) There is no single workaround for everyone, and majority of people simply do not have any (workarounds).
Bottom line - EA really needs to fix this ASAP because the game is simply unplayable when you are playing meaningless games...

Yeah, so...same problem as everyone else. Game freezes on exiting a game.
Mine freezes too after every game in offline CFM mode. I was able to play the first two games just fine now I can't do anything. Tried deleting the patch and reinstalling but that doesn't work for me. The game mode seems phenominal just wish I could play an actual game and have it count as opposed to simming all the time. My PS3 completly locks up and I need to turn it off. Has anyone ever tried deleting the patch and rosters and playing the game straight out of the box?

Just bought brand new PS3 console and Madden '15 YESTERDAY!!! Played for 30 seconds, and now I CAN'T GET IT TO WORK, even AFTER TRYING EVERYTHING IN THIS POST. Do your customers all a favor, let us know what is going on. Please and Thank you. This is a joke. If I can't get some information in 24 hours, console returned, game, as well. What a sad show of character, ethics, and an even more dissapointing display of customer service. I guess it's a loss for producer and consumer at this point. This isn't brain surgery, it's manufacturing, engineering, and business 101. Get it together, this shouldn't happen in the tech gen, information age. I don't mind the problem, but I do mind your manner and approach to addressing the problem. I can see it now, I will get a refund, and you will lose a customer, who benefits from that? I want to play, and I know you want to get paid. Niether happening at this moment. Do you expect your customers to stick around? Monopoly or not, EA will feel the impact of consumer choice. It's unfortunate.

I like many of you had the same issue where my game would always freeze in the post-game load screen. I got on the phone and I talked to EA and they gave me a solution that has worked FOR PS3
1st. Go to Network Settings > Media Server Connection > Disable
2nd. Delete the current CFM on your main PSN screen (Saved Data Utility > Delete CFM files)(You're going to have to restart your career but it's because the game corrupted itself when creating your CFM, it apparently needs another 'good ole college try' to get it not corrupted)
3rd. Delete Game Data Utility (usual step)
4th. Start game.
This worked for me so far. Before i couldn't get out of New Game Prep now I'm starting week 4 of the regualar season.
Hope this works for you all!
If you're on Xbox and having this issue or this doesn't work for you on PS3. File it with EA then ask for them to call you. They'll put you right in communication with the game staff (though not directly)
