Megathread of Madden 23 Glitches That Were Never Fixed
Below is just some of what EA failed to fix in their patches over the last year:
Gameplay
- Offensive Players play defense while Defensive Players play offense
- QBs fumble 4X as much in Madden then IRL
- Passes phasing through WR's hands leading to INTs
- Numerous catches ruled incomplete and unchallengeable
- I've personally experienced this since '20
- Plays not being blown dead after HB draws, allowing the RB to get up and score a TD
- I've personally experienced this one since Madden '20
- AI RB running into their own linemen on screens
- Offensive players tackling their own teammates
- Wide Open WR's Refusing to catch the ball for no reason
- WR's juggling the ball on their helmet till they run out of bounds
- I've personally experienced this since Madden 16
- Unable to select pregame matchups after backing out of previous H2H game
- AI failing to recognize outside blocking lanes, effectively killing HB toss & PA plays
- Unrealistic ball paths nullifying user defense when playing Madden on high AI difficulty
- Offensive linemen freezing on LOS & failing to block incoming defenders
- Offensive linemen letting defenders just blow by them
- Defenders making tackles without touching opposing player
- DB's teleporting across the field to force incompletions
- DB's making interceptions on passes they didn't see on high AI difficulty
- DB's morphing through WR's arms to make INTs with acrobat badge
- Kickers phase through the ball on onside kicks
- Inability to get Pass Interference calls in Online play
- Certain formations only putting 10 men on field/ making lineman invisible
- Players celebrating touchdowns for opposing team
- Audibling plays using custom playbook lead to glitched formations/ turnovers in Franchises
- Playing defense, in hurry up: When in man coverage, it’ll switch the assignments of outside CB’s to the WR on the opposite side of the field, causing AI defense to leave the WR in front of them to go cross field. Or in zone plays, if a WR goes in motion, user team CB will follow like it’s man. (Thanks u/BradStarman)

- Entire team disappearing after a solo battle or H2H game. Forcing you to exit out of MUT. *Certain team diamonds not getting updated with team chem (Isaac Seumalo) *Being forced to go through lineup error message multiple times when doing a challenge when there is nothing wrong with your lineup" (Thanks u/blmobley91)

- "Every time you finish a game in franchise, immediately go to upgrade a player, and then try to change their superstar abilities, the game softlocks." (Thanks u/HeppyHenry)
- The depth chart being reset after signing a player or a player coming off the injury report in Franchise (Thanks u/RastaLeek)
- "When you play an offline franchise (in simulation) the game will script for a play to be reviewed to kinda simulate realism. The problem is when you choose to only play offense or defense it will still script these calls but will immediately skip them and not over turn something the game literally put in to be over turned by the ref. Instead it will immediately sim until your next possession.
- (Ex. WR catches pass clearly in bounds on 4th down. The game won’t review it and will immediately skip to the next time you have the ball)" (Thanks u/rocketmissiles)

- Game incorrectly assigns you ARI playbooks after exiting & searching H2H game
- Blockers warp around defensive linemen. So often I’ll see a defender with leverage, and the offensive player just shifts across his face the seal him off of the side he had leverage on (Thanks u/Demon_Coach)
- If you elect to play Offense Only and sim to next possession after halftime, you won’t be able to play the first snap. The game will simulate one offensive play. So you could you start the second half on 2nd and 14 or 80 yard TD rush (Thanks u/SnapperMaster)
- Half of the crowd chants for AZ Cardinal home games are for the LA Chargers-- crowd constantly chants "GO LA & Lets go Chargers" even when LA is not playing.
- And of course -- the Dec. Franchise glitch.
I am posting to alert the EA team and Madden Community of what is still in the game that shouldn't be. There are links available to many of these glitches on another Madden forum-- where you can readd it. I would like to know if these bugs will be fixed in Madden 23 or '24?
