Me and two friends started an online connected franchise.We did a fantasy draft and the draft glitched around Round 41… we quit and rejoined and the draft finished fine.The problem now however is that we are playing games and advancing the first week of preseason but our connected franchise keeps reverting back to round 41 of the fantasy draft.We are unable to make any progress.Is anyone else having a similar issue? Are there any fixes out there?

I left the league due to glitchSummarize your bug Madden’s franchise mode cloud saving does not sync between players and does not properly save progress. My friends and I play a connected franchise every year and this year has been the worst by far. Can’t even progress through a fantasy draft without the game booting us and losing progress mid draft. Terrible experience. How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Maybe play test the game. What happens when the bug occurs? Causes draft issues with connected users being at the same point in the draft and progression resets to points that have already been passed. This creates a draft where players who have been selected are still available and users cannot progress through the draft due to bug. What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to complete a draft with my connected franchise users without any incident like in years past.

T_BrooksSummarize your bug My franchise is broken by a bug that I recognize from Madden 22. It's a bug that basically causes your franchise to get disconnected, and when you sign back in to your franchise, you'll be reverted to the most recent draft. How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Start a franchise. 2. Sim to the draft. 3. Pause the draft. 4. Wait around 5. Make some trades. 6. Sim to next user pick. 7. Make pick. 8. Get disconnected OR be told your draft clock has expired. 8. If you were not disconnected from EA Servers, or draft clock didn't expire, the glitch probably won't work. 9. If you do get disconnected, or told your draft pick has expired, log back in to your franchise, and continue following steps 1-10 until you finish the draft. 10. Week-by-week sim or play games until you get disconnected. Once you log back in, any progress you've made will be gone because your franchise will be back to the draft at the point where the glitch occurred.What happens when the bug occurs? Any progress made after the glitch occurs will be gone, and your franchise will be reverted to the most recent draft.What do you expect to see? When I disconnect from EA servers, or there is a bug, I expect that if I log back in, the game should be saved to my most recent progress, not a draft I already did hours before. I've just had this bug occur during week 8. When I disconnected at week 8, I logged back in and my franchise was back to the draft.PS4 Crash Reporting: Please copy the text you put in the crash report here.

It is absolutely unacceptable that this bug is still in the game after it's been reported numerous times for over a year. This needs to be immediately fixed.When I disconnect from EA servers, or there is a bug, I expect that if I log back in, the game should be saved to my most recent progress, not a draft I already did hours before.I've just had this bug occur during week 8.

Jyrec46 TfcceetkSummarize your bug Every time my friends and I partake in the Draft it will desync / crash / rollback our picks / not let us simulate draft or pause. We then just have to let the AI do the entire draft while we watch then we can play the game as intended, waiting until this bug happens next season. Oddly enough on our practice franchise one season run this bug did not occur, I also have my own solo franchise on the cloud with this bug not happening. How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? make franchise league with multiple real people, do the draft then don't advance the week, then restart game. Draft will be bugged. What happens when the bug occurs? After occuring, even if the other players of the franchise are already about to start their preseason game / changing their lineup, the owner of the franchise will be rolled back to the draft upon re-entering the franchise. Then you cannot skip, pause, or draft. Forced to wait until the end. When trying to trade away your pick it says Undefined?What do you expect to see? This not happen, the draft to end, my picks to be saved?

The franchise rookie draft and off-season crashed also. They totally bombed this year. The most disappointing madden to date

Hi everyone,

We appreciate all the information you've been sharing on this.

We have passed this along for review.

Platform(Include which Generation): Xbox Series X
Type of Network being used: Wired
Date/time issue occurred: Started 8/21/22
What were you doing when it happened (which round were you in)? Varies. I got reverted back about 6 times to the draft after my first full season in Franchise Mode. Most cases were reverted back to Round 2, a couple times were in Round 1. Usually the catalyst is a disconnection from EA Servers, reload my Franchise, then discover the rollback.
What was the last action you completed before it happened? Varies. Finishing a Preseason game, training, editing depth charts. Can barely get through Preseason in my second season before getting kicked back to the draft.
How often does the bug occur? Every time now. Unable to advance Franchise.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a franchise, play through one season. Draft for second season and play game normally. Once you lose connection, turn off the Xbox, or any other disconnecting type of activity it rolls your progress back to the draft, losing hours of gameplay.
Also, include any troubleshooting, Screenshots/Clips you might have: None at present.

Are you really asking like this like it's an isolated incident? Lol just search madden franchise on twitter and you'll see it's broken for mostly everyone. I have a 32man league that is completely unplayable and haven't heard word one from anyone at EA even addressing that this is an issue. It's insane that a company can be ran like this.
Here are all the issues on the top of my head:
1. Player to Player trades result in an error "Send to Undefined" blank screen, (CPU trades can still work)
2. Advancing the week will revert a few minutes later to the previous week
3. Upgrading players doesn't work, they show the upgrade screen and attributes upgraded but a few minutes later it's reverted back to the previous overall
4. Cutting players is also reverting back, in the preseason after cutting players they will be right back on your team a few moments later
5. Signing players doesn't work sometimes; you will sign a player and look at your roster and they aren't there. You have to go back and sign the player a few times
We have tried a bunch of "fixes" and starting multiple franchises all with the same result.
