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.

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

@EA_Kent I have made several reports about being kicked from my online franchises and not being able to progress past the drafts in my online franchises. When can we expect a fix because all I’ve gotten from your terrible support team is that they have no solution and I’ve received the same message every time I’ve reported an issue with franchise. How come it seems like every year you guys give us a half baked franchise mode and don’t seem to be in any sort of hurry to get it fixed. I bet if this was a MUT issue y’all already would’ve released a patch.

I'm playing Face of the Franchise and I'm at the end of the season and it won't allow me to sign with any team. When I accept the offer it sends it back to the cut scene where I'm talking to my agent in my house and he's saying that I can go anywhere. It does this over and over no matter what team I try to sign with.

Platform(Include which Generation): PC
Type of Network being used: DSL (10 MB down, 1 MB up)
Date/time issue occurred: 8/29/2022, around 12pm CST
What were you doing when it happened (which round were you in)? 3rd round
What was the last action you completed before it happened? We had progressed to the first week of the regular season, so we finished the draft and the entire preseason. I played my first game of the regular season as the Raiders, and once the game was completed when I selected "finish game" at the end of the game it loaded directly back into the 3rd round of the draft at my draft pick, instead of week 1 of the season.
How often does the bug occur? Not sure.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It seems to happen if a glitch happens during the draft, earlier during the draft it glitched out after I drafted a QB in the 3rd round, it didn't seem to register, and everyone had to exit out of the franchise and load back in before we could proceed.
Also, include any troubleshooting, Screenshots/Clips you might have: see above.

@Siddj88 Same man. It's been days. I even submitted a ticket and the response was just "technical team is aware and it's affecting a lot of people."

@EA_Kent can you post an update ASAP? This has been going on for two weeks and the best response is that all the feedback has been forwarded.

Adding to the chorus my game keeps resetting to mid draft.

I finished my first season, did the draft, and finished the preseason games. Loaded the file the next day and it brought me back to the second round of the draft.

So i finished the draft again, all the preseason stuff, and played the first half of a game. Came back the next day and it loaded into the second round of the draft.

Went through it all again and completed my week one game. When I hit the button to end the game and go back to the CFM menu, it brought me back to the second round of the draft instead.

Game is unusable.

@EA_Kentour 32 man league group is remainimg in a holding pattern until this is resolved. It affected us three times in M22 so you can imagine our apprehension to start a new season with this bug still lingering.
