Re: Cannot change QB Throwing Style

Hey Everyone, 

Would it possible to get the platform everyone is playing on when they notice this issue popping up?

24 Replies

  • @EA_Illium PS5.

    This issue affects Play Now, Practice, FOTF, and Franchise. QBs are locked into their default throwing style, despite being assigned a different one.

    Example - I updated Trey Lance from Generic 2---->Slinger 3, but it doesn't update in-game. The style is still Generic 2 when the game/practice begins.

    My FOTF player is the same. Franchise is the same.

    Note - Russell Wilson is the only QB in the game that will update if you change his throwing style. He's Generic 3 by default, but his in-game animation does update when you change his throwing style to a different one.
  • @da_ill3zt All the Generic 1-3 are all the same motion. However, Traditional 7 is different. Slingers 3-9 are all also very different. Don't pay attention to the "preview" on the Edit Player screen. That's not accurate.

    Russell Wilson is the only QB in the game right now that you can edit his QB throwing style, and would update in-game. That's the only way I knew how Traditional 7 & Slinger 9 looks like.
  • It does not work correctly on any platform. I have a ps5 and it doesn’t not work for any player in any mode. There have been many Reddit posts and YouTube videos with people on all platforms like pc, Xbox series x and Xbox 1, ps4 and ps5. And they all cannot change the throwing motion of any qb 

  • @EA_Illium Any updates on this? We're not asking for a lot here man. This is child's play compared to the other serious issues on here. We're just asking to be able to change throwing styles. That's it.

    @EA_Illium is this a planned fix in the next update? It's been an issue since the beta but it wasn't an issue last year
  • I stopped playing the game because I STILL can’t switch the throwing styles in the game (Franchise or FOTF, or just period). It’s not FAIR that you put all these different throwing styles in the game, and when I go to change it in the edit player’s menu, he continues to throw in the Generic 2 style. And by the way, this goes for ALL platforms. Until this issue is fixed, my colleagues and I will not play any modes in the game. Very sad that it has come down to this. 

  • Everytime I Change My Quarterbacks Throwing Motion It Goes Back To Default It’s Really Irritating Having 32 starting quarterbacks with so little throwing mechanics

    @EA_Illium First I'd like to say thanks for that great update you guys pushed out. Super useful. Second, I've done some testing and as soon as you change the face or skin tone or the last name of a stock QB (Joe burrow, Kyler Murray etc) they change to generic 2 QB throw style. Changing their last name also makes them a generic face too, so that's a whole other bug. Would love this to be fixed in the October update, please and thanks.

    @EA_Illium can we please get an update? Can you please confirm if you are ever going to fix this issue? This is ridiculous, to the point I'm looking into getting a refund for this "most polished Madden ever"
  • Maybe the whole Madden community should start tweeting and harassing the NFLPA for allowing this stuff to continue to happen since they're the ones giving the license to a company who doesn't care about its loyal customers... We can't get a update or patch for QB styles and the games been out for months ..... THIS IS A JOKE !

    On PS5. The QB Styles don't work in Franchise mode.

  • What's the point of having a Madden forum like this and they don't even listen to what we're telling them... What's the point ???!!

    I'm having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and deal with their bs consistently. * trash. NFL needs to be contacted by the masses who are completely fed up with these clowns man. Ok done ranting, but can anyone help me here please? I'll cash app you  for your assistance at this point lol. Fr fr. Thx
