Madden NFL 23 Patch Arrives - Franchise Mode Issues Still Being Investigated - Next Patch Mid-October

[BoomFranchise]

It's like every patch they add makes the game even worse...

A lot of these sites need to update their rating of the game at this point. It's unheard of to have a game get worse the more "improvements' are made after being released

Was this a past franchise you were playing that is still not working?

I may attempt to play a new franchise from scratch and see if there are issues

Just had the draft glitch happen to me.

I'm just glad I was in the middle of preseason and didn't lose a ton of progress. Really not worth trying to play again until it's confirmed to be fixed. It's just not worth the risk. It's unfortunate because I was actually having a lot of fun with my Franchise.

Now it looks like I won't be touching the game for weeks.

I started a new franchise to test it. Got glitched in the first round. Looks like my league will be simming the draft season 1. Unbelievable.

Wow! Was it an online or offline franchise you tested to be clear?

It is very very evasive of them to put the franchise update at the beginning of the statement and not making it clear the "Stability improvements" had nothing to do with the statement.

They should have made it clear in a NOTE that none of the franchise bugs have been fixed yet instead of having us guess and check it.

Work in software development and yes, "stability issues" almost always refer to crashes and connectivity issues.

A general rule of thumb is with most bugs, glitches, and balance issues the game or software doesn't think there is a problem. The bug occurs and the game keeps happily going about its business thinking its doing a great job.

"Stability issues" on the other hand are things that make the game go "nope" and crash.

This isn't an EA thing. Using such language is near universal in this industry.

Yea..old one..started it on day 1 of real NFL season. I was also considering starting a new one. No options really - but the the thought of getting to the draft and this happening again…ggaahhhhh
