Plenty of issues in Madden 15 need fixed...here is a whole bunch of them! ~

First off, I'm gonne leave this here for all the EA people to see how much your game needs to be fixed. Take a look at them and realize people who play offline need just as much attention as those who play online or MUT (please actually do something about them...and no, NOT by doing it in Madden 16):

http://www.operationsports.com/forums/madden-nfl-football/756954-madden-15-next-gen-bugs-glitch-thread.html

Now, onto my own personal bugs (all of these in the PS4 version):

----------------------

Bug 1

Whats the bug? Instant Replay in is always locked 

What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? Offline CFM (as a player)

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? When you are off the field, there is no way to see the replay as the "Options" button does not respond. It can be repeated.

How often has the bug been reproduced? Everytime I'm taken off the field and I want to see a replay of the last play

Bug 2

Whats the bug? End of game highlights are glitched/missing players

What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? Offline CFM (as a player)

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? At the end of the game, when looking at highlights, some of the highlights are missing players (and no I'm not talking about plays with no highlights). I have one where Joe Flacco is invisble and half the defense is gone.

How often has the bug been reproduced? Twice so far.

Bug 3

Whats the bug? Being made to watch a play I am not a part of

What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? Offline CFM (as a player [RB and DT])

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? Randomly during the game, I will click "Sim to next player play", it will sim until it goes into game. It will chose a play and I will not be on the field and forced to watch the play unless I waste a time out.

How often has the bug been reproduced? Usually about 10 times a game

Bug 4

Whats the bug? When playing as a play that is not the QB, the ball is never snapped and results in a Delay of Game

What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? Offline CFM (as RB)

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? A couple of times a game, I will line up for a play and the ball will never be snapped. Once, Flacco stood under center for 25 seconds on a HB Slam (read: no other motion before the snap) and the play clock ran down to :00 resulting in a Delay of Game. This happens once or twice a game and forces me to waste a timeout.

How often has the bug been reproduced? Once or twice a game this happens.

Bug 5

Whats the bug? Stadiums only sell exactly 50% of seating in playoff games

What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? Offline CFM (as owner)

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? When my team hosts a playoff game, I will only sell 50% of my tickets. Exactly 50%. Nothing changes it. And it happens at every home game.

How often has the bug been reproduced? Every time my team hosts a playoff game

Bug 6 & 7

Whats the bug? (Bug 6)Replays and TV graphics cannot be skipped in between plays, often resulting in pushing the button that brings up a "spike". (Bug 7)Cannot audible out of spiking the ball.

What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? Offline CFM (as coach for both)

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? (Bug 6) In between plays, replay and TV graphics will play that cannot be skipped unless you push the "O" button. Pushing the "O" button results in no-huddling a spike the ball play. (Bug 7) For some reason, I cannot audible out of a spike play and thus have to waste a timeout.

How often has the bug been reproduced? Almost every time a play is over and there is no no-huddle called.

Bug 8

Whats the bug? Relocation team names will change between weeks

What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? Offline CFM (as owner)

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? When I am prompted to choose a name for a team, I will choose a name. When it is time to choose my uniform, the team name has changed. For instance, once I chose the "Austin Bats" and when it was time to choose the uniforms the name had changed to the "Austin Armadillos"

How often has the bug been reproduced? It's happened once, so far.

----------------------

There are also a ton of issues with the way the normal gameplay is: Why is there no option to just skip the TV graphics at half time? What is up with owner mode forcing bonus money to be paid out of funds? Why the heck is there only 17 options for cities to relocate to (whatever happened to giving us the freedom to relocate a team to Honolulu or Fargo...maybe some of us have some creativity)? Along with that, why does each city only have three team names and logos (let us be creative and stop making us feel like kids by telling us what we can and can't do)?

As a huge football fan, I feel like I am ignored because I don't play "online" or MUT. I understand that is a trend, but there are a large portion of us who want to play this game offline. I hope you see these issues and realize you actually need to focus on all of your players and not just the "popular" ones. I hope something is done soon to fix this game or you'll lose another customer.

  • Well, how about a few more bugs, you know just because the OFFLINE game isn't buggy enough:

    -----------------------------

    Bug 9

    Whats the bug? Onscreen graphics default to nothing and use the value "-1"

    What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? Offline CFM (as coach)

    How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? When the onscreen TV graphics come on during the game showing previous week stats or season stats. A few times, these have just defaulted to "-1" for everything. For instance, in the Super Bowl, it showed the stats of previous week compared to this week, which was the Pro Bowl, the graphic said that all the previous weeks stats were "-1" and the proper this week total.


    How often has the bug been reproduced? It's happened each time I've played the Super Bowl.

    Bug 10

    Whats the bug? Settings will not save the changes made before the season

    What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? Offline CFM

    How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? When choosing the settings for a new CFM, I will change some of them, for instance I will change the play-calling button patterns or the speed of the game. When moving on to the start of the CFM by cligking the Accept and Continue option, often, some or all of the settings, will not be what I set them to and have changed back to default.


    How often has the bug been reproduced? It's happened a few times with new CFM

    Bug 11

    Whats the bug? When choosing to save a CFM, the game will save then jump back to the main menu

    What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? Offline CFM

    How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? I chose to save the game manually. When I chose to save the game, it saved then jumped back to the main menu. 


    How often has the bug been reproduced? It's only happened once so far.

    Bug 12

    Whats the bug? When running a hurry up offense, sometimes the linemen will not be lined up properly and will be facing to the left or right instead ot straight ahead

    What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? Offline CFM (as player)

    How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? When running a hurry up offense, the offensive linemen will run up to the line. But sometimes one of the linemen will be lined up at about a 70 degree shift from the rest of the linemen. This has happened to a Right Guard and a Left Tackle. Both times they were facing to the right. No penalty is called for running the play.


    How often has the bug been reproduced? It's happened twice

    -----------------------------

    There is another group of them. Are you working on fixes for these or are all of us offline players pretty much SOL?

    It Looks Like ALL People Who Enjoy OFFLINE CFM Are Screwed!!  Nobody At EA Sports or Etc Will Address All The Offline Bugs/Glitches/Freezing!!! Even With 4 Weeks Of Roster Updates, Still No Patches To Fix The Offline Gameplay Issuses! I Have Suppoted Madden Franchise For 16+ Years, The Time Has Come To Move On.....They Don't Care About Offline or Non-MUT Gamers. They Have Seen This Forum, And Countless Other Websites Rip Them For These Bugs But EA Sports DOES Not Care! They Have An NFL Monopoly! I Guess It's Time To Return Madden 15 & Wait For The Reviews On Madden 16 Before I Buy From Them Again.

                            **If Someone Does Find A Way To Fix Madden 15 Offline CFM, Please Post ASAP!

    Thanks!

  • I'm glad to see I'm not the only one frustrated with the offline. I used to love franchise in the old games because it worked...now it's just feels like an afterthought in game creation, thus so are the people who play it. 

    I'm pretty annoyed and pissed off that EA hasn't commented, said anything, or probably even looked at this thread because the words "MUT", "Online", or "Coins" isn't in the title (those seem to be the ones getting responses from EA). Well EA, are you doing something about these issues or ignoring this?

    Was this options button thing fixed?  It makes career mode completely useless without an options button.

    Got some news for I buddy. They don't care about online or mut guys either.... Never seen a company's help site filled with so many terrible complaints daily. It's insane
  • Well here we are 9 years later and I re downloaded the ever so loved and hated Madden 2015. I read your bugs and as I see it in Season 7 they fixed only 2 bugs. You can cut out of cartoons more during game play and you can see player on field better. As for the others 🙄 nope. I find that the designers and programmers probably watched 1 NFL game and never understood the real game. The post Season blues as an owner no 1 seed 😪 still an issue all the way down price no matter still a loser money game. Thank you for taking the time 9 years ago to expose the glitches. I felt compelled to let you know the progress or lack there of with a fresh downloaded copy 9 years later.
