Re: [Franchise] Starting RB/WR Leaves Game

@EA_Blueberry wrote:

Hey, Franchise players.

We've alerted the team about this. As a long time Madden player myself I can imagine it can be tough to win games when your best players are being taken out of the game. We'll get you updated on this as soon as we find out more details from the team. Thank you very much for reporting this on the forums. If you come across any potential workaround fixes please share if you can while the team is investigating. 

Hi there, I see you posted this a month ago.  This is still happening in my offline franchise.  Between that, players retiring in week 3 (so I trade them and then they DON'T retire on the computer's roster), and my linebackers literally diving out of TE's and RB's way constantly allowing the computer to score and my star players are out, is getting really old. I know you guys are taking a lot of heat here, but this is really, really bad.  Though, nowhere near as bad as the soundtrack.

    I just randomly picked this comment to reply to. Its ridiculous that this has been going on since day 1 and nothing is done to fix it. So focused on all this dressing on this garbage like videos and fancy menus they forgot to make a game that works. I am in the playoffs of season 1 of my franchise. Played the Saints game 1. Kamara ran the ball twice and they subbed in their fullback who then had 17 carries for 31 yards. At the same time they put their backup left tackle at WR. Targeting him 7 times but he is so slow the passes were 15 yards off and threw 9 passes to the fullback as well. the starting TE never played. Their fullback was gassed and never came out of the game. Thomas never played. I beat them 44 to 3. So I moved on to face McCaffrey and the Panthers in the NFC championship. But McCaffrey ran 1 time for 8 yards and here we go again . 5 straight runs with fullback and 3 passes to the fullback and here comes the backup left tackle in the slot !!!! I have days invested in uniform edits and now in the playoffs this happens. To make this all even more frustrating I had to create an account to comment here. When I did this it said to go to my email and put in the code. But the email only gives me the option to verify my email and no code. It says verified so I try to log in but again it asks for a code that EA wont give me. It took 2 hours to finally create an account here. If they cant create a simple log in that works how can they make a game that works? This is an issue of incompetent people creating a bad product that is being false advertised and then sold for a premium price. Going back to Madden 21 and starting over. Done buying EA products for sure. If you have a way of forwarding this to EA please do. EA doesnt give a crap obviously but I would appreciate it. Thanks. TDubZ.....15 year Madden vet retired.

    I'm having the same issue, now 3 games in a row in Franchise Mode. RB and 1st String WR disappear from the game shortly into the 1st quarter. I'm extremely close to losing my patience and requesting a refund. I only play Madden for Franchise mode, I couldn't care less about MUT or online MP. 

    Fix this bug. Fix ball hawking on 50/50 throws (WR wins 1 out of 10 times, not saying every 50/50 throw is a catch but shouldn't be a pick either). AND FIX the stumbling forward for 6 yards after getting hit by a LB or DL.
