Summarize your bug The game play settings I initially choose, don't save. Specifically Team Playbook (offense & defense). No matter what team I choose to play with & no matter what playbook(s) I choose in Settings, when playing online Head to Head & I choose a team & go into advanced settings, the playbooks always show Arizona Cardinals for both offense & defense. This also occurred when I was playing Madden 21 on PS4 & PS5, the same exact issue.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? From the games main home page, select Settings In Gameplay make your favorite team any team other than the Arizona Cardinals Under Playbooks, make it Team Specific or randomize it however you like (not Arizona Cardinals) & Save Back out & continue to Online Head to Head Choose a team (not Arizona Cardinals) & select Advanced Settings before starting the match At this point is when my playbooks always show Arizona Cardinals.

  • Man o man, I like the way you broke this down, because man o man the IDENTICAL thing happens to me, ALWAYS Arizona!  and in addition when it does this I lose half my playbook, I use Jets NFL live playbook, when it glitches I lose a ton a plays they just don't exist...I find It impossible EA doesn't know this , it must be punishment for not playing my team and spending money, low key! Peace bro, hope yours starting working!

  • Good evening. I am having the exact same problem in Madden 2025. I'm not able to use my saved playbook in Head to Head competition. It defaults automatically to the Arizona Cardinals.

  • I'm having the exact same issue. Not even my kick meter settings are saving
