PC fix. Alt tab, if you get to another window then alt tab again.

Maybe it's just me but when I tried d12 it didn't happen. Maybe I was lucky on that test run.

[MadeInPhillylll]

Happens to me every time in a late 4th quarter game

[breakingbones]

i loss multiple games cause of this glitch

[nathanvolm]

I have this problem as well on the PS4. Tried to contact EA, but haven't heard anything.

I haven’t encountered this glitch but just ran into another one. Me and my homie was playing and late in the 2nd quarter his team was not present on the field after he picked his play. When he snapped the ball instant safety. On the safety punt, his team was still not on the field. He couldn’t do anything and neither could I. We just had to quit. 😔

[lubas]

I’ve been having trouble with punts as a long snapper because I play tight end on franchise I just switched camera angles so I have the punters angle I lost to the dolphins due to 4 yard punts

There's also a another stupid glitch EA left in the game the CPU kicks the ball into the end zone and sometimes it goes out of bounce and they don't call and when the player kicks it it ends up short where the CPU takes advange of the field

[troylloyd]

For ps4 you have to save the game, turn it off, and turn it back on. Then go back to the game and the meter stick should be there. Work for me!

[michaelcarroll]

Having the same issue on Xbox. Although mine only happens in the 4th qtr (so far)

[SxXxWarriorxXxE]

So dumb it does this, i use PS4 and Madden always has crappy gameplay stuff they have to fix but this is ridiculous

[christopherlindberg]

god I thought it was only me I have had this problem also there is no routes that pop up for any players on offense. So dumb this game is terrible this year on PC

[Saint_chris_]

I could of had 6 more points in week one in franchise mode if that didn't exist.

There is a field goal glitch in “face of the franchise” too. I got the ball down to the opponents 2 with :13 seconds left with 1 timeout. The computer took away my option to play and instead of calling time and kicking it to win I lost an important divisional game. I’ve also notice about 5-6 other times the game not kicking field goals on 4th down from easily makeable distances. When I look at mh kickers stats it says he’s perfect on fg ‘s attempted and made. So what’s happening? Is my team just taking a FFS EA just realease the game done. I think we can all wait a couple weeks or even till first week of September if you actually finish it. Why did I buy this I knew better.

Does anyone know how to contact EA Madden Devs directly to complain about glitches?

There are several glitches I notice as of 8/22/19, but the worst (and possibly loyalty ending) for me is the kicking in the 4th quarter.

In several games, late in the 4th in a tight game, I go to kick a game-breaking FG and the kicking meter is completely missing. This leaves the player to purely guess at the kick, with a likely hood of making the kick near zero percent. I read a comment somewhere that someone got a response from EA that this is “part of the game.” I assume this is an “icing the kicker” function. That is a TOTALLY broken mechanic. I can understand if the controller shakes and the meter is quickened, but to have to use a pure guess is beyond unacceptable. Totally takes the fun out of the game.

The only way I have worked around this is to make sure I save my time outs late and when the meter disappears, I have to call a time out, then sim to next play and just hope that the sim helped the FG go through. While this works, disgustingly, my next kick off, the meter is missing again and my kickoff likely comes with a penalty, as I am left to try and use my Jedi-force to guess an acceptable kick. If this is not fixed soon, I just have to move on from this, or any EA game.

A few lesser glitches noticed still not fixed:

*Since the patch, on defense, I have to select the pay twice for it to acknowledge. Others have posted about this too.

*League stories make zero sense sometimes. I can beat team with zero turnovers and the news with say I somehow won with sloppy play and 6 turnovers (for example). Even lazier stuff like Jason Witten surpassing Jason Witten for all-time TE catches. COME ON MAN...

*I picked up FA Chris Thompson for my Titans and after he runs it talks about him now being in his 6th season as a Redskin.

*AB is no longer the cover athlete, EA.

These other glitches are just annoying, but the kicking is absolutely garbage. Please, EA, please look at this. And now...

[anthonyhann]

I have a bug where there’s no play art, and no kick meter. Any new fix?

[srl]

When it's the 4th quarter I know it isn't a glitch.

It's their 'improvement' of freezing the kicker in close games.

[datboidevious]

Happens to me in the 4th quarter. I paid $79.00 for this broken crap too. I want my money back

[LawrenceW]

And when it does show up, more than likely it doesnt work! You press the X-Button to get the strength down and it doesnt register and then your kick goes god knows where trying to hit it for it too register.


This game is so fucked up!

[Mach]

They don't seem to be in too big of a hurry to fix it either.

[HiddenReflux]

This just happened to me on Xbox 1, lined up to win in OT, missed it cuz i couldnt measure the kick. Total joke
