I am having the same exact problem with franchise crashing.
series x
nothing plugged in
everything up to date
It is unplayable. Franchise constantly crashes within a few minutes while navigating the menus.
EA we haven’t heard from you since Thursday I believe, correct me if I’m wrong, any update?

Hey there.
I am working Sundays for the moment and the latest update I see the team has this as a priority to get it addressed it as quickly as possible. They've made positive progress on this and we hope you won't have to wait this out much longer. I know it's painful to be sitting on the sidelines here and it's difficult to be told to be patient, it's hard to see you all experiencing these crashes as from a player myself I know it can be extremely frustrating. Especially for some of us with limited time to play in our life. The team understands this is a major concern for those reporting this and working tirelessly to tackle all the unexpected issues players have raised at launch.
We'll continue to update this thread with relevant information as we hear it. - 4 years ago@EA_Blueberry Thank you for the update!

Hi thanks for the update, You have mentioned multiple times you are aware of the issue and working on a fix, so my question is what is causing the issue if you have solved it just working on a fix. Is it something we can change on our end to get it working in the mean time? it is weird that it only affects certain people but is also a problem on your end.
- 4 years ago@EA_Blueberry We certainly appreciate the update to at least hear from someone.

We've unfortunately not been able to identify a workaround fix that can be changed from your end. :\ - 4 years ago
@EA_BlueberryWill there be any compensation that makes up for this?
- 4 years ago
I contacted EA help about this very topic. His answer was a blatant no. The game can be refunded by xbox/microsoft very easily but if you wish for compensation in game for loyal players i was told no.
- 4 years ago@elaurant01 Well they're lying about Xbox refunds, they straight up said no several times...
- 4 years ago
You misunderstand my comment by the sound of it. Not the refund of the console, xbox/microsft will refund the game if you got it through the microsoft store. I was offered one when i was talking to xbox help after ea help offloaded me to them when they said the game crashing issue was on my end and not thier game during ea access....... lol good one ea.
- 4 years ago@bigdaddykizzle Odds of a refund or compensation from EA are absolutely zero ... unfortunately they just DON'T CARE.
If you really need the money and have a bit of time to spare you can dispute the charge with your credit card company (depending on their policy). - 4 years ago@elaurant01 No misunderstanding, Microsoft told me 3 times absolutely no refunds on digital games. They’re aware the game isn’t working and Microsoft didn’t care. I had to file a dispute through my credit card…
- 4 years ago@jackcasper49 I don’t need the money, it’s a matter of principle at this point.
- 4 years ago@bigdaddykizzle I hear you on that ...
That being said, EA doesn't care and won't care ... unfortunately. - 4 years ago
I did not realize how many gamers this affects, but across so many forums this is happening to people. Franchise mode is unplayable at this point, because I cannot get past the 15-20 minute mark before it crashes. Please EA hurry on the solution. Anyone have any workarounds that have helped?
- 4 years ago@AndyP012 EA said yesterday there are currently no work arounds.

OK i played/try to play Offline Franchise.
Fav Team 49ers + Franchise 49ers= Crash
Fav Team Chargers+ Franchise Charger= No Crash
Fav Team Colts+ Franchise Colts = Crash
Fav Team Browns + Franchise Browns= No Crash
Weird....

I play offline franchise with favorite team the 49ers. Crashes constantly. My buddy does online with the Raiders and his crashes as well, albeit with seemingly fewer instances.
On my franchise I control multiple teams and have had it crash with the Lions, Broncos, Raiders, and Bengals. All of these were added teams off of the original 49ers franchise, however, with a mixture of using the owner role and the coach role.Interestingly, I deleted and re-downloaded the game yesterday and noticed the rosters were different. As far as I’m aware, we haven’t had a roster update yet but I noticed D. Perryman, MLB, was now on the Raiders and C. Smith, ROLB, was no longer on the Vikings.
Re-downloading and reinstalling did not help - it still crashes.

So apparently EA are soon to release, a new mode, called Campus. I would settle with a patch, so I can play the damn game.

3 WEEKS OMFG NOT ONLY is is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE the game launched with these crashes but no fix for OVER A MONTH!!!!!! This is beyond unlawful bs and we should be compensated MORE than the people who were incorrectly banned!!!!! AT THE BARE MINIMUM!
- 4 years ago@Canucksedge A new mode instead of fixing the one thing they swore they were putting work into ... that is so spot on!
I can't understand the total radio silence ... customer service 101 is keep people informed, even if you don't have a viable solution. - 4 years ago@jackcasper49 And now, finally, bigger sites are picking up the story of how bad Madden is ...
https://www.ign.com/articles/madden-nfl-22-franchise-bugs - 4 years ago@jackcasper49 I totally agree with you. It's been two weeks now. They haven't fixed our issues. But they have had the time to work on a new mode. Also how can they launch this mode before, the new scouting system.

Hey EA I do seriously appreciate the update the other day, very nice to hear it is being worked on. I do feel like it is appropriate at this point to request a more frequent update though or a daily one due to the length of time of the issue(s) and the amounts of money we as a community have to this point essentially wasted. Thanks in advance.
- 4 years ago@abch3N1iQLN23M I agree with you, more frequent updates is a minimum expectation.
It's like the company is spitting in our face launching a new game mode, but leaving this one broken. Even the normal passive IGN posted a scathing rebuke.
@EA_Blueberry do you think you can help keep everyone a bit less pessimistic and angry by offering an update more frequently? - 4 years ago@jackcasper49 It's not just this game mode that is broken, it's a fundamental problem with the game. It crashes for me in every game mode.
