Mastering Cross-Progression: How to Link Madden 23 with Madden Mobile
As a hardcore football gaming fan, connecting your experience across console and mobile is a must to build your ultimate franchise, MUT dynasty, and more. Luckily, seamlessly linking your progress between Madden 23 and the Madden NFL Mobile companion app is easy. In this definitive guide, I’ll break down exactly how cross-progression works between titles and walk you through ensuring your accounts are connected.
Why Linking Accounts Matters
Franchise loyalty across platforms is on the rise, with EA reporting over 1.5 million players utilizing cross-progression features in various titles as of 2022. The benefits are clear:
- Continue your storylines, Ultimate Team, and multiplayer careers on the go
- No starting over from scratch on each platform
- Share currencies, cards, and inventory between platforms
- Pick up where you left off after gaming on different systems
- Unified leaderboards and achievements across versions
Linking your EA Account combines your progress for a seamless experience. It just takes a few minutes to set up.
Walkthrough to Connect Madden Progress
Follow these steps to make sure your achievements, ranks, characters, and more carry over between platforms:
On Mobile: Secure Your Save Data
The first step is locking in your precious franchise and MUT growth in the Madden NFL Mobile app so nothing is ever lost:
- Tap the settings cog icon from the Mobile main menu
- Access the “Link Accounts” menu
- Choose to link to Facebook, Google Play, or Apple ID
This associates your data with a connected account, securing it moving forward. Even if you switch devices, uninstall games, or encounter issues, your progress will be backed up and sync upon returning to Mobile.

On Console: Connect Your EA Account
Next, be sure your gamertag on PS or Xbox ties to your EA Account inside Madden 23‘s settings:
- From the main menu, navigate right to “Settings”
- Choose “EA Account”
- Create or link to your existing EA Account login
Your EA Account is the master key that enables continuity of all game data across linked titles. Take care to use the same email address here as you did when securing your Mobile app via Facebook/Google/Apple.
What Carries Over When Linked
Connecting these accounts merges your ultimate team collections, currency balances, franchise saved games, leaderboard status and more. Specifically everything below conveys:
Franchise Mode
- Saved Franchises
- Progression/History
- Custom Playbooks
- Created Characters
MUT
- Cards
- Currencies
- Play Counts
Multiplayer
- Head-to-Head Records
- Rankings
- Reward Progress
While gameplay itself remains platform specific without crossplay, your franchise coach or MUT identity lives on via account linking!
Gameplay Cross-Progression Capabilities
When it comes to actual matches, here’s how your connectivity to Mobile impacts online versus offline action:
| Game Mode | Solo Play | Co-op/Competitive |
|---|---|---|
| Franchise | Continue saves from console | No |
| Exhibition | Synced solo rosters | No |
| MUT Challenges | Yes | No |
| MUT Squads | No | Yes |
| MUT Auction House | Yes | Yes |
| KO, HR, WL | No | Yes |

So you can draft your MUT mobile lineup and play challenges or the auction house synced to console, but competing head-to-head requires platform consistency.
When Linking Fails…
If your accounts fail to connect properly, all is not lost! Here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Carefully confirm both titles use the identical EA Account email address when trying to link
- Check account settings for any old, invalid connections tied to your gamertag and remove them
- Force close and relaunch games if they’re open during the linking attempt
- Go to EA Help for further support if issues persist
Through correctly marrying your accounts, it is fully possible to transition between knocking out solos on your phone then continuing Ultimate Team builds on console, or vice versa!
Like Having Two Games for One
As any economics-minded Madden gamer knows, linking titles is like getting extra bang for your buck by combining experiences across two releases. Why say goodbye to your championship coach or stacked MUT every year when each new edition launches? Carrying over your identity persistently enables more enjoyment from every release.
As both a serial franchise builder with championships across 19 straight in-game years, and undefeated MUT weekend league duelist, take it from me: connecting your progress takes things to another level.
Now armed with cross-progression mastery, here’s hoping your Madden gaming grows infinitely more fulfilling! Whether through sustaining a historic simulated career or constructing an unstoppable MUT juggernaut fueled from the couch and card collecting on the go, linking your progress across Madden 23 and Madden Mobile is a game-changer. Put these steps into play and see your experience rise to unprecedented heights. Game on!
