I wanted to see what the difference was in gameplay and it’s been crashing ever since I made the change. Even switching it back to “image quality” hasn’t helped. I deleted and reinstalled the game with no luck.
I saw this post and thought I would try this. I’ve always had madden 22 set to performance so I thought I would try switching it to image quality. However, it behaved the same as before, after 6 minutes in franchise mode’s menu the game still crashed.
when i had this same crashing issue during ea access one of the steps i tried was trying both image quaility and performance niether fixed the issue but yes this could be a factor. also tried multiple other graphics and video settings on xbox and the 2 displays i tried but no setting combination fixed the issue, as it only happens on xbox series x madden 22 and not another game even madden 22 xbox one version never crashes i summized it must be something wrong with this game specifically and not any setting on my end. swapping between image quality and performance could be something for ea to look into but no fix after a month means its probably not going to get fixed, go for the refund if you can like mentioned above.
- 5 years ago@elaurant01 I wonder if this may have happened to me. I think I had it set to what it was default (image I think) and then I changed it to performance to try it out and I didn't really notice much of a difference so I decided to just change it back and I think that is when I had the crashes.

Small update for everyone. The team is making progress on identifying the potential root cause of this. All the details you've provided have been exceptionally helpful. No confirmation on an exact date for the next patch as dates can shift depending on what they want to address in a patch. If they need to include more updates in a patch it could shift a date back so setting specific timelines too far out can result in confusion. When we find out a specific date we'll share it here.
The Community Manager generally gives a heads up on when it comes out days prior on the Good Morning Madden streams that take place at 10:39AM ET during the week.
Thank you for your continued patience on this.- 5 years ago@EA_Blueberry Thank you! We genuinely appreciate the update.
While I think everyone understands errors happen, the lack of updates is what really infuriates people.
It still stinks that I and several others in this thread (and tens or hundreds thousands no doubt elsewhere) paid the premium for the earlier access and took days off of work that we can't get back only to have a completely unplayable experience.
- 5 years ago@elaurant01 The Xbox One version of the game has the exact same problems for me.
