Madden 25 Update 1.06 Dashes Out for PS4, Xbox One This Sept. 25, Accidentally Deletes Franchise Data

EA has released Madden 25 update 1.06 on last-gen platforms, and while this title update brings in new adjustments and other improvements, it seems to have deleted all the Franchise mode data for players affecting all platforms.

Madden 25 Update 1.06 Patch Notes:

Update: After hours of waiting, EA has finally released the complete patch notes.

Gameplay 

• Introducing the ability to Save Custom Audibles across all modes.
  • Dev Note: As you change audibles in your formation at play call, they will save automatically and will not change from game to game. You will be able to do this for up to 32 playbooks. To change audibles, press LT/L2 after choosing a formation in play-call.
• Tuning to increase the chances of AI controlled defenders attempting interceptions rather than swats on catchable passes.
• Tuning to make AI controlled WRs play more aggressively to the catch point when targeted.
• Tuning to improve WR’s feet staying in bounds on a catchable pass near the sideline.
• Fixed an issue where AI-controlled QBs would check the ball down to a receiver coming out of the backfield too frequently when they were not under pressure.
• Fixed an issue where AI-controlled QBs were considering receivers open on Curl routes when they were covered resulting in too many interceptions being thrown.
• Fixed an issue preventing defensive backs from matching press animations when running the Cover 1 Robber Press defensive play against streak, curl, and inside-release dig routes.
• Fixed an issue causing the QB to keep the ball on a run play when using multiple preplay adjustments at the same time.
• Fixed an issue preventing pass blockers from handing off pass rushers to other blockers vs defensive line crash inside.
• Fixed a rare issue causing the ball to warp through a defender’s body when attempting to make an interception.
• Fixed a rare issue sometimes causing a tackler to freeze after a hit-stick vs. a ball carrier.
• Tuning to improve the preservation momentum in physics-based tackles.
• Tuning to improve collision on dive tackles that make contact with the ball carrier’s upper leg.
• Tuning to improve player-falls on collisions between ball carriers and defenders.

• Fixed an issue where MADDEN theme song would continue to play after selecting Resume Activity on the PlayStation 5 home screen.

EA has not released the official patch notes just yet, though we’re expecting that to change within the day. Before  that happens though, loads of players have taken to social media and forums to announce that their Franchise data has been deleted (yes, ALL of the data).

Here’s a thread on the Madden subreddit where multiple gamers chimed in:

Did the new update delete anyone else’s franchise data?

over on social media, players have tagged the official Twitter/X account of the game clamoring for their data to be reinstated.

There’s more of that but you get the gist. So far, EA has not said anything about the data just yet, though the game’s servers did go under for maintenance a few hours ago which could be the reason for the data missing.

Once the patch notes are out (no clue whether the last-gen and current-gen patch notes are the same) we’ll update the article with the info. There was a patch released two weeks ago, which you can read about here for the fixes implemented.
