Madden 22 is the latest installment in the long-running American football video game franchise. Based on the Frostbite 3 engine, the game has had a rough start ever since its release on August 20 this year.

In the last few months, players have reported a number of issues ranging from the game crashing on consoles to players being sent back to the main menu in Franchise mode.

For many, Madden 22 has been nothing but a bug fest at best. With that being said, players are reporting another issue with Madden 22 where the franchise game mode is freezing whenever they develop or upgrade a player.

Players say the only way to continue playing is to close the game and relaunch. The worst part is that Madden 22 does not save the game progress, meaning players have to re-do everything since the last launch.

Undoubtedly, this has infuriated many Madden 22 enthusiasts with players questioning if EA even tests before pushing an update.

As it turns out, EA is already aware of the Madden 22 franchise mode freezing issue and said it is currently under investigation.

And as if this wasn’t enough, players are reporting another issue with the game telling players that they are commissioners of 20 leagues already.

Many say this is preventing them from creating more franchises in-game. You can see how the error looks like in the image below.

Thankfully, an EA Community Manager has said that they have raised the issue to the concerned team. However, there is no ETA on when it will be fixed.

With that being said, we will update this article if and when EA fixes the Madden 22 freezing and franchise league issues.
