When trying to start a new online franchise, the only option for "starting point" is week 1 with no games completed therefore no week 1 stats and no option to hire/fire my scouts. When choosing to update live content it states it is already up to date. Anyone else having this issue?

I have a separate franchise so hope I don't have to delete the game and download again as I don't want to lose that franchise.

You don't need to delete the game. EA needs to update the game. Who knows if they ever will though. Effort is at a minimum this year.

I get the impression something is screwed up with the game's internal content pipeline right now, because not even Ultimate Team TOTW content is coming out on time and was delayed.

Fortunately for MUT players, TOTW did make it out the door today, but still.

Well at least MUT is actually working… no surprise tho. I can’t even start a franchise with proper stats etc and if I could it wouldn’t matter at this point in time cuz the servers are so messed up people keep getting kicked for inactivity while in menus or they play a game(s) and turn their system off only to come back and realize the game is taking them back however many weeks and all their work is out the window. Embarrassing first month this year for EA.

Hey, Guff. A bit off topic, but I ran across your madden 21 stats based sliders, and that idea is intriguing to me.

Would you be able to share where I can find said stats? Because I'd love to take a Crack at making a set.

It's wild man. I've hopped into MUT this year because of the franchise bugs and I never knew how many bugs there are in that mode. I (and many others) am waiting on rewards i earned 4 weeks ago and they have promised that they would be delivered 3 different times and it's never happened lol. They've had to delay almost every major content release.

It's opened my eyes to how the issues with madden go far beyond franchise.
