Also this doesn't seem to affect online franchise at all....I tested an online one last night and got to 2033 with no problems. While I greatly prefer offline, I honestly think I'm gonna go ahead and start a solo online Niner franchsie. I've been playing Madden 20 for 3 years now (I didn't like M21 and once I found out about this in M22 I lost interest). While I really love my classic roster with draft class franchise on Madden 20, I'm just in a mood to get the Trey Lance era started and it seems like the online franchise is in a much better place to knock out a rather long term franchise. As to the OFFLINE bug, I guess its been a thing since M21 and it just feels like it would have been solved by now if they really knew what was happening.

I have a working but no baseline theory that because YouTuber's do "5 year rebuilds" that the company thinks people only want to play 5 years worth of Madden Franchise. I know that is not true at all, but that's my theory!

If you sim to after preseason week 1 od the uesr after you can play another season but the same thing will happen in any week from 10 to 18. If you play a game it will corrupt Essentially making offline franchises only playable for 4-6 years if you add a custom class

So, to clarify:

- Offline franchises will corrupt regardless of anything you do.
- Probably at some point between the fourth and seventh year.

Can you "explain like I'm five" how to backup in the cloud?


Last year, I saved every season multiple times (not in the cloud) so I could go back to a previous year but most times it would only lead to a corruption at the same point.

I don’t want to run every team during the season. I just want to take control of around 15 during the offseason.

A couple of years ago, they made that impossible - I forget how.

Create the characters and go through the off-season. Once the season starts just go through and retire the characters you don’t want to control. When you “retire” it just retires the user. That coach is still with the team.

OK thanks, that is what I used to do but it wouldn't let me last year.

They changed it from pushing R3 to using select button and going through that menu.

I knew how to do it, but when I stopped being the coach, he would disappear from the game and the following year, I could not re-take control of that team again.
