I haven't given a Madden game a chance since NFL2k series - a WAY better NFL game in every single aspect. EA is having a free Madden 16 weekend so I gave it a shot. It's about as bad as i remember but I'm kind of desperate for an NFL game - something EA is aware of and most likely the reason they have annual releases of the same mediocre game.

My question is, I got this on X1 and the server connection is HORRIBLE. I have 100Mbs internet so its not my issue. Ive been trying to play franchise but I'm 2-0 and I've played probably 10 games.. Any time EA's servers disconnect (which is about every 5-10 minutes) I lose all progress and have to start over.. For some reason it wont let me progress unless i maintain an immaculate connection to impossible servers. Is this a common problem or are they just being overloaded bc of the free weekend? And also is there a difference between the X1 version and PS4 version? I'm not sure which one I should get if this issue can be resolved.
