Madden NFL 23 fans are furious after EA accidentally deletes players' store data

Madden NFL 23 fans are pretty irritated that EA accidentally misplaced a ton of player store records.

EA is known for scaring their players in one way or another. Maybe it's because a game gets canceled or a developer shuts down

[{"selector":"#anim-0c2a9d00-ccad-40c4-b89f-6558e50f9097","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-8a494fa4-d467-4761-8e7a-1023dd7b1dfc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-46.757085075350446%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Maybe there could be some absolutely disgusting business practice that leaves players with a horrible taste in their mouths

[{"selector":"#anim-9cb45275-d455-4a6f-b095-e5dccdc0b5b0","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-0007a456-3ea7-4771-9a1a-52fdadedd88a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.179687404002955%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

From time to time, they even release full games and have infamously lousy releases that baffle thousands upon thousands of players

[{"selector":"#anim-11b96285-44bc-4a6f-b183-7fd113d2c481","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-d742991a-5593-4c67-86f0-08c44e885de3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-23.835636798906194%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

however the company is a repeat offender of all of these things and is widely despised by gaming enthusiasts in general

[{"selector":"#anim-6bfb6362-ff7b-4169-b72f-9194aaa1ed71","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-669aacc3-1426-4106-aa0f-4e629c96f4da [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.190789377754534%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

However, today's business mistake is not always going to precisely change minds. EA has shown that players who attempted to load Madden NFL

[{"selector":"#anim-14298867-221b-46ec-8962-671f26daa602","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-8e97386b-a766-40cb-8e53-5f3c08ab921b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-21.874999829338588%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

December 28 at 2:45 p.m. m. EST until 12:45 a.m. There has been a file save issue during this time that resulted in save files being corrupted

[{"selector":"#anim-f1e74e19-8105-4530-9ecb-c4339b41b164","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-368fc643-a4e8-4cbc-884a-ed476a9705fd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.25669631483779%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

It's pretty awful, needless to say. Hopefully, EA will find a way to provide refunds to those who lost their save data during this time
