They updated the game on the 10th through live update. Check out this post, they said they solved the 32 team join fix.

Re: Madden 23 Franchise Glitches- Tests, Workarounds ETC

If I exclusively play in solo/duo (with 2nd PSN account to manage CPU teams) online CFM will I run into any of these bugs? I don't use the fantasy draft feature.


The major one appears to be the franchise getting corrupted due to running out of coaches.

A test was ran, and it's not because of a lack of coaches unfortunately. Honestly don't know what's causing it.

Just speculation.

Re: Madden 23 Franchise Glitches- Tests, Workarounds ETC

I have a question about the situation for offline franchises.

With these, is it possible to save a backup file at, say, the end of the regular season, and have this backup file remain viable while whatever future new save gets corrupted, such that one could return to an earlier save file, re-run it, and get a successful result, and keep chugging.

In other words, is the file save corruption totally random and avoidable if you have some backup saves to go to and re-roll your chance of a crash with, for lack of a better term, or is it the sort of thing that once the probability is in your file, it's there permanently?

Back up will become corrupted as well.

I read in some instances it corrupts at the exact point the original did, and in some instances at a different stage. However in the end, it's inevitable.

Thanks, Classic!

Last one for the day, I promise: Are these offline file save corruptions guaranteed to happen to everyone, or do they only happen to some folks?

The reason I ask is that I did an experiment this weekend where I simulated to 2029 with all management tasks to auto. Once I got to YR5 (I read the corruption occurs between YR5-7), I manually went in and played parts of the WK1 game to see if the game would load and play.

I didn't run into any issues, so I was thinking that this file corruption might only happen sometimes, but I'm not sure.

My sense is that the CPU for sure by 2029 has hired and fired coaches, and there didn't seem to be a hard fail on that front when I played my WK1 game in 2029.

Any perspective you can offer here is appreciated! Thanks!

You are welcome. I was once in your shoes and spent more time then I would like to admit trying to figure this out.

Let me just sum it up and say, it's 100% random. You may be able to play 1 game or 10 games, at some point it will happen. I have read where it's the superbowl, or week 5 or first round of the playoffs. Mine was random in year 7, I believe week 17 against the steelers. Just out of no where I got dashboarded and my chise was gone.

For the sake of my sanity, I started an online and have zero issues. Not sure if it's my gigabyte internet speed, but I have had zero disconnects in nearly 11 hours of gametime. I say lean towards that if you can.

Re: Madden 23 Franchise Glitches- Tests, Workarounds ETC

That makes sense. Precedent suggests that they will deliver whatever fixes they can first to cloud CFMs and then, if possible, to offline CFMs, but it's no guarantee that the timelines will be close or that they'll be able to fully service both.

I'll adjust course accordingly. Thank you.

Re: Madden 23 Franchise Glitches- Tests, Workarounds ETC

Just a quick question.
If i play a franchise offline..with one team..no edited draft classes..only generated..will i still have the draft glitch and the other problems in franchise?

Draft glitch is completely random, and seems to plague online cfm's as they are saved to EA's server. I personally never experienced a draft glitch offline in-game in 6 straight seasons.

However, with that said you will at some random point experience the save corruption. It's a double edged sword [emoji1745]

I am currently slow testing an online chise with coach firing on, and not using custom draft classes. I'm just going through my normal play through to see how it goes. I did after 20+ hours on my chise FINALLY experience a disconnect. Was randomly when hiring a new OC, and DC. Was fine afterwards.

Re: Madden 23 Franchise Glitches- Tests, Workarounds ETC

Although there has not been a recent patch to test this month, I thought it might be a good idea to test the game stability with 32 team control offline, as I am about to start my long term franchise now I've got my sliders sorted. As I have been also roster editing I wanted to test that as well.

So I created a new franchise, importing an edited roster. Immediately set up 32 team control. Turned coach firing to OFF.

I then edited some QB's. Did not download any custom draft files. Went off and simmed for 10 years. Simmed the season and then played the Superbowl in real time. Exited. No issues.

Then ran it for another 10 years. Again played the Superbowl. Again no issues once exiting the game.

Jumped to the 2044 Draft. Did the 1st round, then simmed the rest. Then ran the game to the 2045 Superbowl. Edited a rookie, including name change. Played the SB, again no problems on exit.

So as tested before and to confirm, I think the game is stable, if one:
a) set up immediately 32 team control on starting new franchise
b) turn off coach firing completely
c) do not use any custom draft files

Hope that helps.

Re: Madden 23 Franchise Glitches- Tests, Workarounds ETC

Week 10 start, online CFM.

After my first game I had 4 disconnects.

I give EA and Madden a lot of leeway, but I'm really getting fed up with M23 and their inability to fix these franchise issues.

Re: Madden 23 Franchise Glitches- Tests, Workarounds ETC

With the patch tomorrow, I will update the first post as soon as there is consensus about if said fixes work. I know the main highlight is the draft glitch, but im hoping for a save corruption fix as well...but I won't hold my breath. I will also add a confirmed work around for offline franchises and the process for how to avoid the save corruption. British Bronco was kind enough above to do some extensive testing, and I want everyone to be able to see it, versus digging through over 100 replies. Awesome work, it's very much appreciated.

I will also be adding some info on disconnects. Why? Cause I have played online chise for over 20 hours and have experienced 1 disconnect, where others are disconnected constantly. I'm curious on:

-provider
-speed
-what kind of modem you are using
-wireless/wired connection

So if you are having disconnect issues, please feel free to reply with said info and im finally gonna use my college degree in IT and see if I can narrow some stuff down. No promises lol

Re: Madden 23 Franchise Glitches- Tests, Workarounds ETC

Game crashes and kicks me out of the game.

Offline
32 team control (some with created coaches)
At some point during a game (Year 2, Week 1 - Colts vs Steelers) it will crash and send me back to the xbox screen. It will then prompt me to reenter the game but will eventually crash again.

Need more info on the created coaches. Did you make them, or did you fire/hire?

I created them. I did about 4-5 different created coaches for other teams and those games can finish. It's only when I play a game with the Colts that it won't let me finish a single game with them in Year 2. All the other teams work fine.

I also used custom draft classes after year 1.
