Summarize your bug After a couple of seasons or in some cases games Madden will hard crash (most of the time right after you finish a game) and send you back to the Xbox home screen. When you get back into Madden and try to access your franchise you can't get back in. If you start another season or multiple saves it will corrupt those the same way as your last.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Sim 3 to 5 years in the franchise. Play 3 to 5 games in and your game should crash. go back into madden and try to open the franchise again and it should fail

I've been playing the early access Madden 23 and I'm still having the same game breaking glitch from last year. After a couple games or seasons offline the game will hard crash and it will corrupt. It doesn't matter how many times you save, back up, or start a new seasons it will eventually corrupt. It's frustrating because I'm having fun then boom your whole career and everything just ends and you have to start all the way over. Really hoping for a day 1 patch for this.
I had this same problem today. I wanted to play a version with a new generation of players so I simulated forward 10 years (PS4; offline franchise). I played until about week 8 and when I finished that game the game cancelled and reported an error. When I tried to log back in the file was corrupted and I was unable to continue that franchise. I created a new one and did the same but had multiple saves this time. Again, it worked until week 8 and then corrupted my file again. Luckily with the other saves I was able to continue, but the same thing happened so I ended up simulating the next couple of games. I didn’t want to simulate the wildcard game so I played it and at the end of the game it crashed and this time it corrupted all of my files. Huge waste of time and money. C’mon EA, I’d rather have you release a few quality games than release a ton of buggy games and I think everyone agrees. I’m about to buy Maximum Football even though it’s garbage because I can at least actually save my game.
