    “Play Now” 2 weeks behind?

    Does anyone know why Play Now is multiple weeks behind the real NFL schedule these days?

    I’ve been playing Madden for for almost 20 years, but the game is getting more and more trash.

    Are the developers of this game even trying anymore???

      They never were. Nothing gets updated but MUT.

        I thought I was the only person who cared about this problem. I wanted to play the Thanksgiving games on the night before Thanksgiving and the Play Now games were the previous week games. WTF?

          I just watched a stream from EA/Madden from late December. Sounds like the entire company was off two weeks for Christmas/New Year.

          There's plenty of valid criticism of this game. The developers taking time off around a major holiday to be with families, IMO, is not one of them.

            Sure, but when you turn out rubbish the other 50 weeks, it’s a little difficult to be empathetic.

              I mean, if that’s the kind of person you want to be, then sure. Seems kinda Karen-ish to me, though.

              Personally, I’d rather not have my employer’s customers decide whether I get to take my PTO every year around a holiday.

                I do too would like to know what is the issue with this. I always want to start my CFM from the last week of the season. However, its still in week 15 of games. Is there a timeline to when they'll update the Play Now Games? This is unacceptable, considering they are updating the Rosters but haven't touched the Play Now Game mode.

                  It's completely understandable for them to take 2 weeks off for the holidays but is there any reason they couldn't have prepared for that beforehand ? And simply rolled it out when the week started ?

                    You can force win home/away to get thru a week or two if that helps. Roster be the same. But only very few minor changes anyway.

                      why do that when they push those features when the game is purchased? The whole 2 weeks off is bullcrap excuse too. No video game company (Let alone any other companies) going to take 2 full weeks off for holidays. This isn't school. I can't stand people giving EA excuses. I doubt they even gave their employees bonuses or christmas gift as greedy as they seem. But point at hand, why isn't this updated? But they do have time to promote MUT Cards and John Madden's passing away. Anyway, just trying to have a real off-season as much as I can create with the limited sources available.

                        How do you force a game outcome ?

                          Go to league schedule. Than the week you wish to see games for. Click on game and it will give option of Force home/away win

                            EA and the Madden devs don’t give a flying you know what about their consumers. Inexcusable that it has been 3 weeks since an update.
