Summarize your bug I go to upgrade my player but I am instead greeted with a message that says “not enough skill points to purchase this bucket” regardless of how many skill points I have. Ea help said it would fix itself eventually but two seasons later I have seen no change. I cleared my alternate MAC address and restarted my console and even uninstalled and reinstalled Madden 19 but still have seen no change.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play franchise mode and play as player. This bug seems rare and the few people who I have seen who have also experienced this bug have also found no solution.

My 99 overall quarterback has 99 in west coast, strong arm, and field general. My scrambler (primary) only lets be go to a 98. It won’t let me upgrade that stat anymore. It says I don’t have enough skill points to purchase this bucket, I tried it with 5 skill points before I ended up spending them on the other stats. How many skill points do I need?
I have the same problem I am a cornerback with a 99 overall in slot and 96 in man to man and zone but cannot upgrade my player even though I have 18 skill points.

Are you playing a Connected or Offline Franchise? We tried searching the Madden forums for reports of this error and came up short. This appears to be an extremely rare bug and feel that it could eventually resolve itself as you progress over time. It's likely we would have seen more reports around this when error like this lingers throughout a player's franchise. We'll get this tracked down for the team though.
Do you remember what you were doing just before you noticed this error so they can try to reproduce it? What year of the franchise are you in?
Ok, I am playing the franchise using Devon Wade. The problem I have is upgrading.. I Have 12 skill points to use and tried upgrading Scrambler (only need one skillpoint to upgrade) when I click on Scrambler I get the error Message "not enough skillpoints to buy this bucket" Anyone else experience this. If so how did you fix it please? T.I.A.
Can you all try changing the player's position to something else and then change it back to the original one before trying to apply the point again?
@elitus-night @BuckYouOrigin
Are you on a Player only franchise mode or do you have coach/owner selected? If it's on player only you can't change the position.
