No Huddle Every Play!

When is EA going to do something about the terrible controller bugs these games have on PC?!  I have tried Madden NFL 19, 20, and now 21 and the same stupid no huddle bug plagues me.  This Madden game is the ONLY PC game I have EVER experienced that is just this plain pathetic when it comes to bug.  I don't know what it is, the cross platform builds.  I don't get it.  One would think that since Xbox is x86 and running Windows 10 the compatibility would be awesome.  WRONG!  Its pathetic.  So now if I want to play Madden on my $2500 PC.. I can't do that.  I have to go buy a gosh darn console, and hope to hell it works there.  Great job EA... maybe by design.  

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Is there some kind of third party software that can help Madden NFL games out on PC?  What the hell is going on seriously.

    @Vytasa Do you have any recorded gameplay of this no huddle bug?

    The Microsoft Xbox controller is the official controller for Madden NFL 21, so if you're using a different controller we will need to know.

    If it's no huddle every play, do you know if you accidentally selected that option when you're selecting plays? There is an option to go to no huddle every play on offense unless you switch it.

    I do not have no huddle selected when this occurs.  I do not have a video.  I have uninstalled Madden 21 and I have no more desire to waste any more of my time trying to troubleshoot the problem. I have cancelled my Origin Premier Access as well due to this problem.  AND the fact that EA Support told me since this isn't on Console, they cannot help me.....What a joke!  Also, I can't be the only person experiencing this problem.

    I have spent close to $400 to try and make this game playable. My original investment into the Xbox One controller, and I have replaced my Keyboard, Mouse and Headset with all Razer products.  I eliminated all the Logitech gear because I had originally thought the Logitech GHUB was conflicting with the controller some how.  I am also using the controller directly plugged in via USB as the Bluetooth functionality of the controller is terrible.  I initially thought it was working and was happy, but I guess it was just luck that it did work for a good stint.  Until it started happening again and I just can't deal with it.  I have zero controller or input problems in all of the other games I play.  Madden will just be a memory for me.  I played it on console when I was a kid, now I have a very nice gaming PC and its really sad that EA can't figure it out.  Want to to buy this brand new Xbox One controller?  I literally bought it just to play this game...

    @Vytasa I can imagine this is entirely frustrating when you are forced to go no huddle every time, not how football is always played.

    Do you run any overlays while you're playing the game at all? With the Razer products, do you have Razer software?

    Try right-clicking on the game in Origin and select Repair too, perhaps we're overlooking this here and a simple fix will do it.
