Madden 22 Bugs Tracker – All Known Bugs

Madden 22 was released with a lot of bugs and glitches. It has to be one of the worst releases in the past few years in the Madden NFL series. The unfortunate situation is the bugs existed during the early access and have continued nearly three weeks into the game. One of the two most daunting issues with the game has been resolved or eased partially. The desync bug in franchise mode has had an update a few days back. But, the Madden 22 Face of the Franchise slow-motion glitch and hundreds of others continue to haunt players. Stick with this post and we will detail you about the bugs and any possible workaround.
