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?

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!
- 5 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. - 5 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 - 5 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.
- 5 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? - 5 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.

At least I know not to sit there and play around with my graphics settings. ☹️ Thank you for those who said they are also having the problem.

I have had this game a couple of weeks now. I posted on Monday after seeing so many people talk about it over the weekend. I have played maybe a handful of franchise games through since I got the game. I have tried every night this week and was not able to get through a half if I could make it out of the franchise menu before the game or my xbox crashed. No issued with any other game. EA, I am patient, but come on people are trying to play the game and give the benefit of the doubt. But, you have a largely unplayable mode for a over a week at this point. I don't want a refund or anything, I just want to play franchise. too much to ask?
