Madden 22 DOWN: Franchise Mode Server Status & Error Message

We've seen multiple reports stating that the Franchise Mode of Madden 22 is currently down ahead of scheduled maintenance.

We're going to take a look at what could be the problem along with the latest news surrounding the game.

Madden 22 Franchise Mode servers down

It would seem that the big problem surrounding the Madden 22 servers is that Franchise Mode is the only area that is affected.

It would also seem, according to Reddit posts, that it's affecting cloud saves. However, we've been unable to confirm this on our own systems?

Server Maintenance Scheduled

The problems with the Madden 22 servers could stem from the same reason they announced scheduled server maintenance today.

UPDATE COMING SOON: Get ready for more server updates tomorrow

At the moment, EA hasn't reported any problems with the Madden 22 servers, but maintenance could suggest something is going on.

We do, however, know that there are going to be some upcoming changes to Madden Ultimate Team.

MUT 22 Updates coming soon

Something that EA did announce via the @MaddeNFLDirect Twitter account is that there are a lot of changes coming to MUT 22.

Solo Battles on the Madden 22 servers have also officially concluded and eventually, we imagine that the online servers will receive less attention.
