    Re: The Madden 24 Beta Code Thread

    Just saw on Twitter that the Beta will be running from now til June 28th. So I'm sure we'll get our codes at some point. Hopefully not two weeks from now.

      I see that now so that's a positive for OS. Just thought it'd be more widespread instead of having to search for it. It's on me for not checking the site on a regular.

        If anyone has an extra PS5 beta code, I’ll take it.

          I'll make the same offer I made before:

          Anyone who sends me their beta code for Xbox Series X gets to make me have their team's logo as my avatar for the next calendar year.

            Gladly accepting a weekend with somebody's hot wife or milf for my xbox x/s code when it arrives. Thanks.

              While i do agree that the beta isn't just for the players and for EA to actually test out the servers , the main issue that comes in is that early June becomes madden’s version of Black Friday with thousands and thousands of people searching for codes even if they signed up when they were supposed to and having scratch and claw their way to find one. EA doesn’t want everyone hopping on the servers at the same time? Fine but don't leave people in the dark wondering when the next wave of codes are going out. Give us dates and times and the never ending waiting game to get a code stuff would finally stop. But the icing on the cake is that even if you DID sign up during the beta signup period a content creator that EA is partnered with will have 5-10 extra codes to giveaway to people who didn't even sign up in the beta signup period which somehow leads to the people who were ready and took initiative to get a code to end up waiting LONGER than the people who just got lucky and may not even care to play longer than a few hours. At the end of the day its a slap in the face to the REAL Players that play their game consistently. Point Blank Period.
              OK, lets assume they do exactly this. First wave is on Date A, Second Wave on Date B
              48 hours later. Your date is randomized or whatever.

              We have a server bug that the 100-150-odd testers haven't been able to nail down, but based on frequency across them, the network engineers feel like 2,500 testers would be enough to trigger the bug frequently but few enough to easily nail down and fix in a day. Sounds good, Date A target server bug should be resolved before the new load of players comes online

              So, on Date A, they send out to 2,500 testers (I'm pulling numbers out of thin air as an illustrating, please don't put any stock in them).

              But, then, by adding 2,500 more people logging into the servers, especially day one of Beta Launch, they find 3 new mysterious bugs. So now they estimate, with the additional bugs, they can fix the original one in 3 days.

              Date B comes, and suddenly the addition of another 5,000 testers overloads the whole damn network (it's a test bed network, it is scaled back to simulate launch day with the number of beta users invited), now we have to stop work on the original server bug just to get the servers running again.

              And you, the guy who wanted to know precisely when he gets his code because apparently the customer is always right EVEN when the customer is NOT a customer but a volunteer tester, are even madder than you would have been if you'd accepted that this is a nice perk rather than some kind of promised service.

              Free closed betas are not services or perks meant to please the customer. Signing up for the beta is not claiming your free reward for being a fan, it is offering your free labor in hopes of a better product. EA is not obligated to honor your offer in anyway, much less tell you when they will.

              If I'm being realistic, I honestly doubt the user feedback system is used much outside of those things that get repeated ad nauseum. Most of the fixes come from built in hooks designed to test things they're already not sure about.

              As for the handing out of codes on twitter, that's much more about EA's relationship with content creators than fans. If a few already dedicated Madden reporters get a few hundred more followers and can convert a few into subs, that improves their relationship with EA. It's just EA leveraging something they're already doing to strengthen partnerships. Has nothing to do with the general consumers.

              There are two types of people on OS: Those who disagree with me, and those who agree.

              The first kind is wrong. The second is superfluous.

              The only difference between reality and fiction is that fiction needs to be credible.

                    If anyone has a spare PS5 code to share it’d be much appreciated.

                      Don’t feel bad, last year and the year before I signed up and never received a code

                          Still no code for me and I signed up for the beta day 1. I can’t believe EA would do me like this after my 33 years of support. I know they don’t owe me anything, but dang!

                              I guess we just have to wait and see what “corner of the community we fit into. Hopefully sooner than later, but having it run til the 28th helps lessen the stress. Idk this but I think they sent out the codes to YouTube influencers and the people impacted by Franchise before they will send it to the people who registered.

                                ^^Another one of his tweets said they're sending more invites daily, hourly, and weekly. So it may not be a full week wait for more invites to go out. I'm expecting to not get it until the final week like last year, but would be nice to get it earlier. In the meantime I'm gonna keep enjoying the info about franchise we're seeing from these DMoney leaks. Really exciting stuff.
