Wow, another bug. What a surprise. 

Now i’ve seen other people have this problem and i’m so confused why EA hasn’t fixed this. Like did they not play or test the gamer before release? 

Everytime offline and online in franchise (haven’t played exhibition yet) the game as random moments where the game just drops to like 10 fps and stutters for no reason. This doesn’t happen on any other game i own. My ps4 is in perfect condition. But for some reason, in the playbook, or about to go into the play book or at the beginning or end of the game it just has these annoying stutters. I swear, this is like the 10th glitch i’ve encountered. So annoying. Might refund the game.

    Summarize your bug Game continues to not load any games. Just stays on screen with timer claiming to find an opponent. Freezes loading up a game when it finally does. Does the same thing in solo battles when picking/running a play. Kinda ridiculous that this happening a month after release. It’s actually gotten worse after the updates. Paid $100 to preorder this crap. Would like my money back since the EA team can’t seem to put out a decent game anymore smh
    How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Re format the entire game

    What do you expect to see? Smooth game play at full frames not consistent glitching in every aspect

    Summarize your bug Lagging is terrible and when you lag sometimes you lose ability to control the game. If you lag while choosing a play you are not able to call the play or timeout and delay clock running down is the only option. Season games don't load often. Lags mainly occur on offense and while kicking.

    What happens when the bug occurs? You are not able to press anything.
    What do you expect to see? Changes please

    When the game lags while choosing a play or mid play you are not able to push or control anything anymore until play clock or play is over.

  • The samething has happen to me.  Franchise play game lagging real bad.    Why don’t you all focus on franchise play like you all do MUT doesnt make any since there’s been like 3-5 patch updates and this lag issue is horrible.   

  • Yes experiencing the same on XBOX.

    Kicking is usually the main culprit (which makes extra points super bad).
