    Hey @Gatorade450 and @JakeCoble6 , I closed the game without saving from my side since autosave applies in any case.

    Regarding the football issue, I have the same problem by time to time but doesnt crashing the game, its just takes more time than usual to change the screen after a flag or in the halftime.

    Finally I checked it also in the second preseason and it worked as well. Now I am planning to play the game against the Pats. Honestly I have played sooooo many times the first preseason game against the Jets in the past so I closed the game in both preseason 1 & 2 games and it worked. Its not the best solution but it is a solution!

    Hope this will help u!


    EA_Blueberry: Marking this post TEMPORARILY SOLVED for more visibility around this workaround while the team continues to investigate this issue. We will update this post when more information becomes available. Thank you for your patience!

Platform:PlayStation 5
Which console generation do you have? Sony PlayStation 5
What is your gamertag/PSN ID? dukenatchamp
Date/time issue occurred Past month/month and half
What type of issue do you have? Crash/Freeze
Which mode has this happened in? Franchise Mode
Which part of the mode? Offline
What is your Franchise League Name? it’s offline, my most recent one was labeled “NFL” but any one I try doesn’t work at all
Summarize your bug There’s kinda two main things I notice happen in conjunction with each other. First, around halftime of a Franchise game, the camera will fixate on the ball after every play, no matter what. Could be a run, pass, incompletion, interception, touchdown, doesn’t matter. They’ll literally go to halftime and while the guy’s talking it stays locked in on the ball the ENTIRE time. That’s always indicative the second bug will happen, too - which is an infinite loading screen upon exiting the game. The words “MADDEN” and “FRANCHISE” just loop over and over, and won’t stop. These are the two main things I’ve ran into. Additionally, upon saving and going to exit Franchise, it sometimes crashes. This isn’t as frequent as the camera freeze/loop bug, but it’s still happened enough
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play an offline franchise (came across it in 32 team offline) wait for the camera to fixate on ball, then exit game. You’ll get stuck in an infinite loop that never ends.
What happens when the bug occurs? The camera freezes on the ball between every play, no matter the result. This means that the load screen loop is bound to happen, which makes it where it’s literally impossible to complete a game
What do you expect to see? For the camera to not freeze between every play on the ball? Have it focus on the sidelines, players, fans, whatever it usually is. And then I certainly expect to be able to complete a game and have it save my progress - that’s the absolute bare minimum anyone can ask for.

    @JakeCoble6 

    Thanks for reporting this. Does this only happen when you create 32 teams?

      Yes, this happens every single time I play, whether play now or single team franchise. Trying to attach a video of the whole thing as a point of reference but not sure it’s supported

        @JakeCoble6 

        If it's happening every time you play now we can get this fixed, something must causing this to happen. 

        Do you use an external hard drive and do you have anything plugged into the console at all?

      This happens all the time to everyone with any franchise!

      How can you not have fixed a bug this bad that causes a crash loop after every offline franchise mode!
      I don't want stupid MUT crap so you can charge people infinitely more money, all I want is a game where I can play a season of football but since your latest update it is even worse and I can't even play a single game in franchise without it going into the loop afterwards and losing all of my progress.

      This is pathetic and the worst video game bug I have ever seen. After over 25 years of buying most Madden games this will be my last!

        Agreed. With the resources EA have, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to expect a fully working game and for any bugs to be resolved quickly. 5 months on and STILL franchise mode is unplayable! It is a disgrace. I don’t wanna play MUT either. I don’t wanna play anything except my 49ers offline franchise.
