Why does Glitches or Hacks occur in Madden Mobile?

When it comes to Madden Mobile, the two most searched words associated are 'Glitch' and 'Hack'. Most of the searches surrounding the game is by people wanting to know how they can hack the game or how they can exploit a glitch to make millions. We even found a site dedicated to paying someone to show you how to hack the game, and it had fake surveys and a fake comment section. 

Well, glitches sure can be fun if you end up with trillions of coins. But mostly, they create more anger than joy because we often end up losing instead of gaining something. This of course leaves players frustrated and annoyed at EA for having these issues to begin with. Glitches in programming can be annoying because we're not used to having them. Most people are used to buying a console game that is fully developed and that never experiences glitches in vital parts of the game. Maybe a small graphical glitch here and there. But ultimately, it leaves us fairly satisfied at its' quality.

Well, apps like Madden Mobile differ significantly from this format. Original content and ideas are developed and tested continuously, so you're basically never done developing. Instead of releasing the content as a finished product, you're adding content onto already exitising content. This is where it gets tricky. How can you develop, test and implement code in just a few weeks and insure that there won't be any problems? You can't! When programming code is tested, it's done in a virtual testing environment. While the testing environment aims at resembling the actual environment, it is impossible to recreate that incredibly harsh real environment. Therefore, EA can't predict all of the holes in the code that would occur when released, and therefore we end up with these glitches.

Knowing that, will it change your mind of EA when it comes to the glitches? It sure changed ours.

Glitches just are a natural occurrence for application based games. If you want fresh content and seasonal promotions, you'll just have to live with the fact that glitches are a natural occurrence.

However, if your frustration boils over, do not take it out on EAs customer service. They're not the ones that made a mistake in programming, nor can they do anything about it. They're just people trying to pay their mortgage like you and me. However, EAs dedication to patching all possible holes has been admirable and for that they should get credit. Just imagine the team of programmers who sit for endless hours working under full pressure, just so you can get back to trading gold trophies in the auction house.
