Summarize your bug During the draft of 2025 after the 1st round picks the draft went into auto draft were no matter if you paused the draft it was still drafting teams players wouldn’t allow user to draft players, it was drafting based on the draft board favorites the user set up. This was no big deal for 2025 after quiting out restarting I was able to finish the draft and advance into the year. This brings us to 2026 draft we’re at this point the game is unplayable, after selecting my first pick in the draft with the 2nd pick I also have the 4th pick I am on that pick. I draft and it starts the clock for the next team and we repeat the draft auto drafting. I figured out a fix to the auto draft by just having the draft paused right away and skipping to next user pick. So I finish the draft review the draft recap adjust my players to positions I want them in and advance to week 1 of preseason. I played week 1 of the preseason last night hit finish game inside the game it boots me back to the draft on pick 4. I finished the draft this morning before work. Repeated draft recap adjusted roster positions advanced to week 1. Quit out to save the spot. On my break load back in after update 1.006 and I am back at the draft pick 4 again. Nothing I do fixing this problem. It is a bug that needs fixed with the Devs.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game and you should have it happen by year 2025 were the draft has problems year 2026 unplayable now.
What happens when the bug occurs? The draft just starts running even when paused draft it selects players on its own does not allow the user to select draft picks, does not allow the user to advance, if the user is able to advance once quits out of the game or finishes a game boots back to the beginning of the draft.
What do you expect to see? The game to work. I have played madden since madden 99, every year we get better graphics but worse and worse with bugs and gameplay problems. Please fix the game and please do not let this problem happen for College Football 24. I would gladly be a tester and pound out 10 season in the franchise of College Football for the Iowa Hawkeyes to find the bugs for you guys before launch. Please fix these problems.

  • My drafts have been fine however when I started the 2027 draft it bugged as you described and when I restarted the game it drafted for me. I had 7 first round picks and the game drafted for positions I didn’t need filled completely messed up my franchise 

  • Bump. Having same Madden 23 franchise draft loop issue.  EA, we need answers/fix.
