Yeah, I feel like the XB1 is a very freeze happy console in general (though I've heard PS4 is too). I'm really really hoping the New Xbox Experience and the redesign of the UI can help with that.
I've always felt that Madden is a game that is unforgiving if you stop playing it for too long. Not everything works the same every year (zone defense, run blocking, etc) and sometimes what the players can do even changes (hard cuts, jumping routes). It might take some time, but you'll pick it up and then your old skills will translate better.
If you don't hear from him by the time you go to bed tonight, let me know and I'll put him on auto.
Yeah, sorry about that, guys. I won't be able to play as my work schedule has changed pretty dramatically. I apologize for not getting back to you guys sooner. Hope everyone has a good season.
Ok...I really hope this isn't drawing my attention to a bigger problem...
, EA?
I can. But that might impact the consistency of when I can advance us since that would remove my ability to advance from the website. On top of that "if this happens again", I think people are going to start getting pretty upset. I realize you had a big injury...but at least the outcome of your game stayed the same. Could you imagine if you had a win taken away? See below:
Yeah, that's terrible. Upon researching the issue, this is the only thing I've found that hints at what to do (other than the obvious: "wait for a patch")
I understand the sentiment...but you didn't lose anything from this, lol. You won your game and you didn't have any injuries. Sometimes I question if people look for excuses to drop. This is a big issue, but we always deal with big issues. The game is basically never programmed well. And the league moves on anyway. I rag on it because in general, EA is incompetent. but it's still the only football we have.
It's not about wins or loses. I just want it fair for everyone. I know I did not lose a win, heck Tony Tomo passed for more yards and tds than I did, as did my RB ran for more yards. People losing starters and legit games is just shitty.
In case anyone was wondering, here you go.

I totally hear you, man. And fundamentally, I agree with absolutely everything you said. I've honestly said very similar things over the years. Truth be told, we all deserve a better game than the continuous shit that EA pedals off year after year.
Yeah, based on that link I posted, the theory is that if you restart your franchise and don't use the cloud save feature, it will avoid this issue. The additional bonus we would receive from that is I could make sure to leave injuries off and none of us would lose players. Since we're so early...and this is a league we'll be playing in for the next 10 months, I'm kind of leaning this direction.
The last Madden I played for extended period before I quit altogether was madden 12 with Peyton hillis on cover, so yeh I did not know about all the bugs and such. I bought it because of a 4 year hiatus and believing things would be better.
Yeah, I went ahead and took out that part. Based on what I saw in game, I don't really think starting over would better us in a big enough way to be worth the trouble. Sure, it would fix the injuries, but there's no other way to do saves for online franchises. So, until a patch comes out, we have no way of avoiding games possibly not counting.
