A finished game?

A finished game?

Postby Skids » Sun Nov 01, 2020 10:15 pm

I've played this game for around 10-20 hours so far, not including the 5 or so I spent digging around the early access version, and I've come across more bugs than I can count in the current version. The drafting screen is broken in multiple ways, the dropdown menu for trading picks and switching between the draft board screen and "the show" is blocked half the time, the draft "announcers" just use the same 3 or 4 lines to describe literally any pick you make, and after just the first season in my league, the draft screen broke completely and I simply get a box that says "error refreshing draft screen" when I try to navigate to any of the draft screens. I'm not sure if I can advance past this to continue my league, so if someone has a solution I'd love to know what it is. It just seems like a disappointment that these bugs are still in the game at this point, I thought a good amount of this stuff would be sorted out in the early access version. I was hoping to find a Madden Franchise mode replacement, as we all know how much EA has neglected it, and I think this game has so much potential but it's bogged down by silly bugs that just keep cropping up and making the game borderline unplayable. I really enjoy franchise sports games, I have over 1,500 hours sunk into OOTP and I was so excited to find a franchise game for my favorite sport, but this has just been a letdown so far. I genuinely do think without the bugs around every corner this game would be everything Madden Franchise ever hoped to be and perhaps more, but I just don't know if it can get there at this point. Can I expect these bugs to be fleshed out at some point in the near future, or am I going to be expected to spend my money on "Pro Football 2022" to get a finished game?

Some more examples of bugs I have stumbled across to date:
Half the time, attempting to sim a game "play-by-play' doesn't work and it automatically skips to the game results.
Even if I see a notification of a new email, half the time my email screen shows "no messages" when I pull it up, and sometimes messages stay as unread even after having clicked on them multiple times.
Trading picks is wonky and mostly never works, I think out of the dozen or so trades I've completed involving picks, only one went through with picks actually being traded, the rest swapped the players but the picks still remained on their respective teams.
There are a few more situations where I'm not sure if there's a bug or I might just not have my settings right, so I'll leave those out, but between the bugs in trading and drafting I've already mentioned, I can't really fully experience this game and it's frustrating.
