Madden NFL 23 Companion

I love playing this game, but the recent update has so many bugs. The app keeps crashing or lagging during “drives”, and now, when I try to go to the League store, it takes me to the regular Madden store, even though I have a boat load of League coins now. It’s pretty much pointless to be in a League right now! Lastly, idk if there really aren’t actually that many players or not, but it really looks like the backend is not properly matching players based on their team’s OVR, because it just matches someone with like 76 OVR 1000 power, with someone with 91 OVR 2100 power in Overdrive, and I’ve been in the bad end of those matches to wonder why it seems to be putting me “under pressure” significantly more than my opponent! Despite having paid so much money to raise my players to 88 OVR almost 2000 power, it seems to be intentionally putting me “under pressure” just so I can lose to the 91 OVR 2100 power opponent. Unbelievably unfair, and honestly made me uninstall the app tonight. Get it together and let me know when you can fix these bugs so I can reinstall it again.

This app is a fantastic thought. But like many things done by EA & Madden, they just put “beta” on anything new as an excuse to any potential issues. When it’s working, it’s awesome. Wish I could open packs, or quicksell cards or complete sets. But just being able to sell cards in my binder at the airport is good enough. The problem: I’ve been trying to login all day. It worked this morning actually. But since roughly 9am? Well if I try to search a card it will tell me “CRITICAL ERROR” and if I try to go to my binder the app just crashes. I tried to login on my work phone too. Same issues incurred. I’d say this app actually works rightly 55% of the time. When it works it’s extremely slow and clunky. Very poor interface. But it does what it’s set out to do. I never accidentally sell a card for less. It actually shows you recent sale prices which you can’t even find within the game. It’s a good idea, it’s just worse than ideal execution.

The Madden Companion App is very helpful for improving your team on the go. But, I have some suggestions that I want EA to consider. 1. Trade Block: The option to post trades and make trade offers would be very convenient and many people would use it. 2. Store: EA should also consider adding a store to the app because some people are not able to access their console/PC during limited store options and EA would make more money off of a store too. 3. Sets: Sets would be another great addition to the companion app. I have found myself wishing that I could complete a limited time set that I forgot on the go, and haven’t been able to complete it. With all that said, the Madden Companion App is a great app overall but I hope EA considers some of my suggestions. Thank you and have a great day 😁

I believe this app isn’t to helpful with growing you ultimate team. I understand that we can’t play games since it’s and app but if we had sets we could actually use the ultimate team part of the app. This is where I grow my team from and I’m not really interested in the other game modes and I feel like sets would be a great addition! Also I believe that you should let the store be opened so players could open packs without needed to be on their console. This would be a great addition because t could provide a real way to make coins from the app and I highly suggest that you should add both of these!

The very first time I opened this app to look at the MUT features I was met with “There is a problem communicating with Madden NFL servers,” and I knew from there my experience was going to be a tragedy. And was I right. This app doesn’t work more than it does work. I haven't been able to use it for over three days; it’s almost like you have to get lucky and hope it’ll be working when you decide to open it, or check to see if it’s working every 5 minutes. I can guarantee that I’ve spent more time trying to use the app than I have ACTUALLY USING IT. EA gives this free app less time and effort than they do their actual game. Except I’m actually content with getting screwed over for free since Madden screws you over the exact same ways for $60: Servers don’t work, UI is clunky (always) and unresponsive (at times). You can’t even downgrade cards to sell from the app, you have to do it in the game FIRST and then you can sell on the app (why???) This app is a complete mess and it is much faster to just use the game menus that are bad but actually work rather than putting in the effort to even attempt to open this app. More likely than not you are going to be met with an error.
