What Is Madden 22 Desync Error?

Desync errors have been experienced by Madden players since NFL 21. The annoying bug normally crops up during online competitive games, where your console renders at a different rate than the server itself. This means that what you’re seeing on screen and what is happening on the server are two different things, making the game impossible to play. It’s similar to lag issues where your screen shows events that have already happened on the server – normally leading to you being removed from the server.
