  This league was launched on September 3, 2021.
  Therefore, the new scout system is not reflected.
  If you have no idea what to do, We would be grateful if you could consider individual support.
  When we tried to replicate the situation in another save, so that we could find a conditional solution to the glitch, it was not replicatable.
  It would be great this issue is fixed as soon as possible. Love from Japan

@EA_Blueberry 

＞ server maintenance (we have them Thursdays)

Thank you for the blueberries.

I have a question
What time do you plan to start the maintenance on Thursday, and what time do you plan to finish it?

@starback1220 

Maintenance times CAN vary but generally are consistent with what is relayed on this post here. Keep an eye out for a post from EA_Blitz regarding server maintenance details when they are confirmed. 

@EA_BlueberryAre u ever going to get a coder or a higher up to stop hiding and tell us the truth? Madden Franchise is unplayable with the DRAFT glitch..next Gen as well.

Still not working for others?  No surprise there.  Mine is still working, for now, but I'm sure the next draft I get to it'll do the same thing it did before.  Get through the draft and then revert back to round 2 pick whatever.  Also in week 11 where you pick three players for super focus scouting is still not working right.  I picked 3 left ends to get more info on, but only got info for the first one I selected.  It used to not do that if you picked all players of the same position.  Guess when I get to free agency week 3 I'll choose different positions and see how that works.

Again, I'm on the xbox one

@favrethegreat4 when I picked 3 different positions it only worked for the first one I picked. The other 2 never even changed. X box one as well

@EA_Blueberry  are there any updates with today’s maintenance and roster updates? And if not, have you heard any timeline updates on when can we play the game again? This is sad.

@ODIESDOMINATE Of course.  I'm not understanding what it's doing now.  So, I finished the regular season today, and when I went to check the players that I selected for super scouting focus back in week 11, all three of them are now showing at 100%.  So you may wanna check your guys again after the season to see if their percentage has changed at all.  Don't hold your breath though since you picked three different positions.  That's what I'm going to do for free agency week 3.

i would like to just say my league is well known and it runs year round.  There is an investment fee of 23 dollars per month ( 763 dollars of generated revenue per month  (minimum with 32 users ( and we average 1100  monthly after traits have been purchased by users .   we sell X factor traits ,  ss traits ,  star traits . Age reduction , contract reductions , and I have to pay my commish team for being up countless number of hours ensuring games are watched and viewed  With the rules in play that we have. From steaming . I would love to talk business with you as I again don’t just do this for madden I do this for the community. And to give people like the two guys I sent to the Super Bowl  hope that all things are possibly  even through  madden . We are just  if not the only franchise doing this and consistently month in and month out . Year in and year out . Proving that we are just as valuable as a mut team  oror anything that you all sell to individual users . We do it collectively  as a franchise  and have never had a down year. Even in your peak slow seasons. We want to be just as valuable in franchise as they are to you all monetarily. ( I’m buying the patent for this to own )    I have 2 users who won the hbcu  college madden tourney in my league.. those two users have 4 other users who participated in that tourney and flew out to La to the super wok this year ( 1 of the two users lost the championship ) that are  praying  to join my league as it is a big platform and creates monthly revenue for them if they were to win.  . It looks bad all together that This draft glitch is preventing me from an expansion ( a second league for top madden users and creating Revenue for these guys as well as you all. I’m a business man with a dream and goal I can be reached at [edit: email address removed] I will show you a business plan if needed . But this is throwing me off course if this is goi g to be down for weeks !! We need this glitch fixed ! I also gave away two PS5s this madden !  The variable i and model I use to promote you all  speaks for itself !

Hey guys, some (kinda) promising news.

A guy in our online league regularly talks with and plays in another cloud league with one of the Madden franchise designers at EA. Their league was made aware of the potential draft loop glitch and had to simulate their draft to avoid corrupting the league, and this might have prompted them to pass along the severity of the glitch to other EA workers.

According to them, about a week ago, EA has found out how to replicate the glitch and are working on a fix that hopefully should be ready sometime this month. Apparently, once they have the code for the glitch, it should ideally only take a few weeks before the fix is included in a patch.

Hopefully this is resolved soon. For a company worth a bajillion dollars, it’s insulting that they’ve completely ignored the community for one of their biggest modes for so long. We are used to a crap game, but we can’t even play in our leagues anymore due to some draft loop glitch that’s existed for over four months? Inexcusable.

I know this post isn’t exactly super credible and it’s essentially just me playing telephone to you guys, but it’s better than the random check in from Mr. Blueberry twice a month telling us they have no idea what’s going on or how they plan to fix it.

This is awesome, thanks for, the update! Hopefully we get the patch fixing it soon.
