They STILL haven't fixed the Draft Class issues?

[BodamEscapePlan]

I'm pretty shocked that this is still a problem. I picked up the game on Early Access and while I was pretty bummed it wasn't working, I figured they'd get it together in short order since that is a pretty big feature.

Well, I finally boot up the game again expecting the updated rosters to be out and the draft class download bug to be fixed and it turns out, neither of those things have happened.

What is going on here? Do we not have standards anymore? I feel so cheated to be sold a completely worthless, broken game that apparently they refuse to patch.

I'm kind of in the same boat as you are... though my issue is with pass coverage. I, too, bought this game during the early release. But honestly, that's where my gripe stops. I don't feel "cheated" nor will I gripe about "lack of standards" because this has been the case for the better part of 20 years. Only speaking for myself, I accept personal responsibility for my role.

This was posted a few weeks ago in the EA forums.

I don't anticipate a title update until next week.

You know what? You are 100% right here. I have nobody to blame but myself as I was and still am extremely familiar with how little effort EA has put into making sure features work and doing quality testing prior to release. Honestly, if they didn't have the deal where you got Madden alongside CFB '25, I think I would've skipped Madden (at least for the first few months until they managed to patch these issues) and would've been fine with the 10 hour EA Access Trial.

But you make a great point, no one should really expect anything more as this has been EA's M.O. for what... 15-20 years now?

Well, fingers crossed that alongside the Week 1 Roster Update we also get the fix for the Draft Class/Community Creations download bug.

I've been told that Madden 25 franchise isn't going to have a draft class import from college 25 due to NFL rules about non member NIL players. I'm thinking why not just make the import an unlockable thing. After 5 seasons it automatically unlocks by that time all NIL players would be gone and the players would all be generic. It's an easy fix imo. Or am I missing something? Any ideas?

Crazy the download center doesn’t work at all and they knew this was the case and never said anything. “Save the news, saves the sales on the margin” they could of been open about it but it’s all about the Benjamin’s for EA

I wonder if you can download draft classes on the PS4 version… if you can that would be an amazing f u to the consumer.
