Overdrive customer service...

So I know we have all been having issues with the Blitz tournament being down. I have also had issues with not being given the option to even earn madden cash for the last month. I have reset phone, power cycled, logged out of everything, deleted and reinstalled my app, numerous times, with no resolution. I have emailed help desk three times and each time they tell me it should work and then give me the list of things to do(things I have already done 😡) and basically tell me it is my problem. In what world is this level of customer service acceptable?

Update: not sure if it was the customer service, but I received a little care package, and was grateful for the response. It still hasn’t fixed the madden cash thing, but it is a start. Thank you EA for that.

  • Hi, @siw0624 

    Are you having trouble watching ads or not receiving Madden Cash after watching the ad? Have you tried resetting the advertising ID at all?

    I am not even given the option. It shows the bar in my mailbox, but it won’t let me click on it. If I delete the app and reinstall it, the link will show up one time, then sometimes it will give me madden cash and sometimes it won’t, but then it goes away again for good. I am just frustrated, especially when their are promotions, it would be nice to be able to earn some madden cash. Thanks for your answer.

    The videos are now located at the bottom of the main menu. What type of device do you play on?

    I play on an iPhone XR. The link to the video used to show up on the bottom of my menu screen, now it isn’t there at all. In the mail tab, it shows the advertising to click for madden cash, but it won’t let me click.

    Thanks for getting back with the screenshot, @siw0624 

    The advertisements are not always guaranteed to show up every day and dependent on third party advertisers. When you said they show up and then disappear, are you talking about weeks or months at a time or days in between when they show up?

    I was getting them consistently all the way until January. I could do them most of the time all day. Then out of the blue, they completely stopped for me. The only way I can get them is by completely deleting the app and reinstalling. Then I can get one time, and it will stop again. It doesn’t matter if I am on WiFi or LTE. So if you look st my history, I got it once yesterday because I deleted and reinstalled. I got it once last week as well. It is frustrating, because I didn’t change anything on my account. And it isn’t weeks or months, it just won’t show up at all. The only way is a compete reinstall.

    @siw0624 

    Thanks for getting back so quickly. We're not aware of any issues currently surrounding those ads and they are indeed dependent on third parties so they may not pop up consistently. Deleting the app to have them re-appear could be an placebo effect as they get scheduled to run at various times. We'll keep an eye out for more reports though and appreciate your feedback around this. We don't want features in game to be confusing on the way they're delivered to the user, so we'll keep experiences like this in mind.

    I appreciate the help. I went over a month without adds. That’s when I decided to delete and try reinstall and found it worked, but only for one time.

  • Dont worry, I didnt get my trade in coin for my 12 days of Christmas tom Brady to exchange for the new years upgrade tom Brady, spent the whole new years event talking back and forth with customer service even had screen shots, you think I got my token or the new years Brady, nope, I got 3 madden packs that gave me 3 gold players and the rest silver, and I was told there was nothing else they could do, so 3 gold players is the equivalent to a 3rd tier diamond tom Brady, yeah ok
