Cross-platform

[mooch49]

Any news about being able to use cross-gen saves across new gen platforms? That's probably asking too much for this year, but I figured I ask anyway hoping EA considers adding it to the Madden franchise in the future.

Is this thread about transferring PS4 / XBOX One save data to PS5 / XBOX Series X, or about online head-to-head games and franchises between players on consoles in the same generation (PS4 player vs XBOX One player / PS5 player vs XBOX Series X player)?

If it's the former (cross-generation game saves) - I recall promoting Gen-4 save data to Gen-5 being a thing Madden 21. I absolutely promoted my franchise from PS4 to PS5. I am not sure it's still a thing this year, but given the widespread difficulty of acquiring a Gen-5 console, I wouldn't be shocked to see that feature return. It was not possible to send Gen-5 save data backwards to Gen-4 consoles, though.

If it's about the latter (console cross-play) - I gotta assume if EA added this they'd be shouting from the rooftops about it, so I think it's safe to assume it's not in.

Yeah I've been trying to find answers to this question for a while too. My biggest concern is on the series x just not having enough player base to make any kind of online play fun. I get the next gen version is a different game so I didn't expect any ps4/one players to match up with ps5/series players. I just was really hoping the player base would be all next gen combined.

You could upload your franchise from last gen to this gen easily...dont know why theyd take that out.

What we really want is XboxSeriesX|S / Ps5 cross-play.

Last year I think the game was the same other than graphics/framerate. This year there is a real difference between current and last gen so it may not be compatible.
