This is frustrating as hell... I'm losing weekend league games and seasons(MUT) from the game shutting down completely or going back to the home screen... I'm feeling like I need to be compensated for these forced losses😡

Still shuts off. The is complete bs and I can’t even get a refund I tried multiple times. EA does not care cause they continue to get peoples money with VC and packs and such. Hey but thanks for the new mode that most of us can’t play either. That really made me feel better.

And not a word from EA and even a simple check in on it.

Also and this will be my final post regarding this game cause I don’t think it’s getting any of us anywhere. @EA_Blueberry im sorry I know you are not completely at fault for this or any of the many many issues with the game but I will not be trusting or believing another word from you or anyone from EA. Best of luck to everyone!

i went directly to Microsoft for my refund and got it with no questions asked about 3 days ago.. hit them. up and get that money back, Madden is a joke this year
- 5 years ago@StrugzTW I tried MS, they refused because I pre ordered the game. They won't refund games that are over 14 days old.
- 5 years ago@Canucksedge Yes same issue for me. Can't get a refund.

Tried 3 separate times through xbox to get a refund denied each time. Its ridiculous the numerous people are being affected by this and EA once a week is just like "we're aware of the on going crashing issue, we're looking into it" This game crashed during trial and EA help reached out to me and played it off like it was a network error on my end or my console overheating. Purchased the full game anyway thinking maybe just a Trial Glitch with the timer. Cant play MUT, can't play franchise, cant play anything for more than 30 minutes. Crashes at the menus and crashes in game. MEANWHILE, this one dude is like "hmm by chance do any of you have anything plugged into your xbox? or maybe possibly you have a custom picture? Have you guys tried lowering the temperature in the room your playing madden in to below 70 degrees before starting a game? MAYBE if you hold your xbox in your arms like a football while playing the game wont crash"
IF EA gave a single * about their customers they'd allow for refunds to be given out and then we could repurchase if/when EA figures out why numerous people cant play for more than 30 minutes at a time. ITS BEEN 2 WEEKS. Game isn't working as promised its not an isolated issue with only a few people experiencing it and ITS also not EAs #1 Priority. Can't wait for the class action lawsuit. - 5 years ago@abch3N1iQLN23M It would be nice if EA or @EA_Blueberry would at least respond.

My series x crashed every game. Bought the series s and it works...
- 5 years ago@Canucksedge I think disappearing and ignoring your customers is how you earn a promotion at EA.
- 5 years ago@jackcasper49 Lol.
- 5 years ago@ijmoney2i I just spent 500 dollars on a Series X, I'm not going out and buying a Series S to play this one game that won't work properly.

Its so insane this * hasn't been working for over 2 weeks and we can't get any actual answers. What else can you buy and not receive a refund if it doesn't work as advertised. I'd be understanding if we were talking like 24 or 48 hours or something but its been 2 weeks I can't even play the limited solo challenges in MUT. Even though I paid full price for this stupid game and have also been denied 3 times through Microsoft for a refund. Like it started out being like oh that was weird my game crashed lol no worries let's load it back up -crashes again- hmm... EA won't even do anything to make this right we literally are at the mercy of EA when they finally decide to fix this/if they fix it. But yeah alright lol "be patient our team is looking into this" BS.
- 5 years ago@xBMTHxMOVEx These are the kind of bugs you'd expect to see in a beta, not a 70 dollar game, and some people paid even more

I see that the latest title update went out last Friday and there was stability improvements. We're seeing these reports decline so we'll need to dive deeper into those that are still being impacted.
What I'd like to ask you all to try is re-install the game to your internal storage and confirm with me you've got the latest title update (visit settings in the bottom right corner of the main menu and check for content updates). I want to first make sure the game doesn't work after a fresh re-install so we can rule out corrupted data. I also want to confirm it's not working on the internal storage as I've seen some external hard drives cause performance issues in the past.
Once this is done and if it is still crashing please respond back with the following:- Gamertag
- game mode(s) you're crashing in
- What were you doing in the last 10 minutes prior to the crash
- Is it crashing with an error code or dashboarding to the Xbox homescreen?
We'll swing these details over to the team immediately for further investigation.

- 5 years ago@EA_Blueberry Thank you for your reply. While it is understandable that you need to take time off, it is sad to see EA as a whole not addressing this situation and a LONG and upset forum thread be left with no answers for more than a full week. Not your fault, but something that needs to be shared and people here deserve a response.
In regards to your request, yes I have uninstalled and reinstalled (more than once) since the patch (you can look back at the forum thread here and see I had advised that myself).
No External Hard Drive In Use
Gamertag ... jackcasper49
game mode(s) you're crashing in ... Offline Franchise
What were you doing in the last 10 minutes prior to the crash ... working on rosters in one instance, in the coach management in another, in subs menu in another, mostly all in the menus (not playing a game)
Is it crashing with an error code or dashboarding to the Xbox homescreen? ... I have had a multiple crashes to the Xbox Homescreen (no code given, just locks and goes to the homescreen) and one crash of the whole system (no different that before)
Xbox Series X - 5 years ago@EA_Blueberry • Gamertag Chitownfan92
• game mode(s) you're crashing in: All of them
• What were you doing in the last 10 minutes prior to the crash: Always happens during gameplay, usually 3rd or 4th quarter but sometimes earlier.
• Is it crashing with an error code or dashboarding to the Xbox homescreen?: No error message, it just shuts down the Xbox completely with no warning, and have to physically go up to the console and turn it back on.

Gamertag: jakeakabigdub
Game Mode: Literally anytime I play the game, no matter the mode. MUT season, weekend league, solo battles, solo challenges, online franchise games.
Previous 10 min: playing the game, actually in a game.
Crashing the entire Xbox, it completely shuts the system off mid game.
I’m in the Xbox series x, and completely uninstalled and reinstalled this morning. I got through one game. Then tried to do a solo and it cut off again.
