Re: [Cloud Franchise] 32 Users cannot (re)join Online League

@EA_KentWe figured out the fix to this. The only way to get around it is to start fresh and lock your league to Owner Only. Coaches are what is causing the issue to have an extra user.

We tested it for 3 days and after 3 league recreations, it seems that coach leagues have an issue with retirement that leaves an extra coach in your league even after the user has left. This is why people can't fill their leagues past 31/32 no matter what they do.

We did a test league with just owners and filled it with 32 people, and it was the only way to get around it. Hope this helps everyone. It's been a very frustrating last few days as we had to put 32 owners on hold while we tried to figure this out. There wasn't any guidance from EA, but I hope this helps everyone with the same issue.

EA_Blueberry: This post was marked solved as a temporary workaround fix. The team is still actively looking into addressing this.

  • What would be the estimated timeline for a fix to this we were on a active Sim CFM and we have five players who have been kicked out due to this glitch it’s really important that we get this fixed because it’s making franchise pretty much unplayable considering most of our player base is getting removed with no way to get back

    Why is this thread now listed as solved? The workaround is "Recreate your league". This is not feasible for leagues with 32 users and a million trades.


    A workaround also is not indicative of a solution to the issue.

    When can we expect this to be resolved?

  • @Instiinct-V Yeah, it's awful. We had to recreate our league 3 times, and manually do all the trades that had already happened. Took us about a full day. What a great use of a Saturday right?

    Hope they patch it soon so people don't have to restart like we did.

    This isn't a solutions. A solution would be them fixing a bug in their game that's been there since release of the game.

    @SponsoredByNike-make this a priority to fix this please. This was working in 2021 so the logic should be somewhat the same. Their were no retirement involve in our case. I believe something is off with the count - the amount of teams actually assigned- is the array off by one?

    This is not a solution. This is a way to try and avoid the issue in the future but does not do anything for online franchises that have already been affected or will he affected.

  • This does not fix online franchises that have already had the issue. Will EA do anything to fix franchises already affected or fix the game so it does not happen in the first place?

    Hey everyone, I’ll try and keep this short (but not sweet lol). The biggest glitch/issue I feel like that needs to be fixed asap is how teams somehow get locked out/glitched out. I run a 32 team franchise league (we are diehards) and some teams become unusable after someone leaves the league (even when doing owners only). The team gets glitched and no one can join as them anymore. It’s a MAJOR issue that needs to be fixed asap

    I don’t want to offend you but it’s pretty pathetic something like this hasn’t been resolved in over a year since it was happening last madden too 😫

    Not only were two teams UNUSABLE, but after we did the rookie draft for season 2, we lost all of our progress and it didn’t save (even after we played our week 1 games… it reverted back to pick 3 in the draft). So not only were two teams glitched, but everyone was so mad they wasted an entire night. It’s so sad your head of development still has a job cause if this was an actual business of mine, that man would have been fired by now for releasing a game that was basically unplayable. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES!!! Your ratings are 1.8/5 on 1,297 reviews on Google for a reason. 

    There are other issues inside franchise as well (such as contracts/player edits not saving, etc) but I don’t want to overwhelm you all at once. You spend time fixing other things that aren’t important but the core issues of the game have gone untouched for 2 years in a row (it was an issue last year too).
