How to Avoid Desync Errors in Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Games
by 
While EA Sports has apparently fixed the problem with head-to-head games in Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise mode not reporting results, another issue seemed to arise at the same time (but may have been happening all along) relating to desyncs occurring in online franchise games. Many users were failing to even get through the first quarter without having their games disconnect due to a “desync” error thus stalling progress in their franchises.Â
According to my team, the desyncs are being caused by league users having different settings for kicking arc and defensive graphics.

If everyone in the league uses the same settings for those things, that should solve the problem.

Unfortunately, this can’t be fixed in a server update so please make those changes until a permanent fix can be rolled out at a future date.

So this doesn’t seem to affect the basic functionality of playing online games such as being able to change your camera angles or any other primary settings but rather those very specific visual displays. It’s probably best just to leave anything questionable set to the defaults in the meantime. A patch is likely at a minimum still two weeks away.
