    I've played a few games (within the Community i created and Play Now) and notice the accelerated clock is intermittent with no rhyme or reason to when it works / does not work.

    I recal this was an issue within CC last year, although not intermittent, then resolved after the patch.

    I threw an interception to an OLB at the goal line. Problem was, I had about 15 chances to tackle him and each time my player would hit a force field and slow down to a walk right beside the runner and just fall on the ground.

    I LOL'd but it was very strange.

    If the CFM commissioner changes teams, the league can no longer be joined by other members. Error message received is "joining league is disabled".

    If an owner leaves a CFM, they cannot rejoin as that team receiving the msg that the team has been "blacklisted". They can, however, rejoin as a different team.

    I assume EA is aware the wind is still backwards ?

    If you are on defense and a at comes up that has challenge option it will make you challenge if you hit LT pre-snap next play (don't recall it being that way in 13') , unsure if big or intended that way for some reason.

    This was happening last year. I'd attempt to commit and it'd make me challenge.

    Last night I simmed a game from the second quarter to the end and it froze up on me once the game was done and I tried to get back to the dynasty hub. It also sucks that GM mode doesn't allow you to accumulate XP for players……. just saying

    My game freezes when the game is loading in all modes. I can pick my team and then when the game is loading up it freezes every time. Anyone else having problems getting the game to play?

    I'm so mad right now because my game does the same thing!!!! I returned it because it would not load up anything (audibles, online play, anything) and the new game I brought does the same thing. I'm not too sure what to do because I can still play every other game I have so I know my PS3 is not broken.

    I'm not super familiar with the PS3.

    Anyone have any more insight on diagnostic steps? CHUNKNESS perhaps?

    Is that for offline play, online play, or both? Do you gents have a slim model, or one of the ancient fatboys?

    Well guess what? I found another post and found out that this is an epidemic!!! Basically, you have to delete your madden 25 game data (under the utilities) and then upload your game again but DO NOT ACCEPT THE UPDATE!! And when you do this you can play your game like you normally would...BUT NO ONLINE GAMING AT ALL!!!!! WTF is this? I pay almost 70 dollars for a game and now I have to wait for a patch to come out because your game is messed up? Come on man, I've been playing Madden since it first came out and this is enough to make me wanna tap out.

    Not a bug or glitch, but just a question. I thought as owners, we could fire the head coach? Is this not the case? If so, I can't find it. In the off-season it only gives me the option re-sign them.

    My game freezes both offline and online. I thought it was the game and I took it back to Target and exchanged it for another copy. The game is still freezing. I tried Ncaa14 and madden13 and they work great. I'm at a loss at what to do next

    It sucks that I pay over 60 dollars for the game and it's useless unless I want to watch the introduction over and over. Damn you EA. you have had a frikken year to get it right. C'mon man!!!!!!!

    This does work. I just tried it and zero problems whatsoever. Pretty sad I have to go to these lengths until a patch is made

    I have experienced while controlling a LB that after the snap the man I'm controlling gets sucked in like a magnet to a blocker, unless I drastically make a move in the opposite direction to avoid it, then I'm screwed on certain plays.

    I am having a problem with my custom playbook. I have two 4-3 Odd formations. What is weird is that they have different plays and some duplicate ones. No other formations have this problem.

    Not to be a dick but I would touch a custom play book with a 10 foot pole. EA has enough trouble making games work with built in playbooks , you are begging for issues IMO.

    Sure the total number of plays per set is divisible by three also don't over do the amount of forms within the PB and you'll be good to go.
