Madden Overdrive won’t go past the loading screen.

★★ Novice

I have downloaded Madden Overdrive on my iPhone 7 and whenever I open the app it shows the loading screen and then an alert pops up saying that it found an unknown error and to try again later so I’ve tried again multiple times at various times in the day. I have also tried refreshing the app multiple times, re-downloading it and restarting my phone,But the game still won’t work. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know because I love this game and love to play it and it makes me frustrated that I can’t play it on my phone. 

 

P.S. I have talked to customer service about this and they said to post it on here.

Have you ever been able to play on this device before? 

It sounds like you've tried it already, but if not, can you uninstall, shut down your phone fully, then restart and redownload and see if anything changes? Also can you ensure your phone is up to date?

Thank you.

If you check your phone storage are you low on space? Perhaps an update is needed that the game isn't taking?

If you go to the store page after the install is complete do you have an option to update?

I have a lot of space on my phone and the game is up to date, I tried re downloading and checking the app in the App Store for updates but it didn’t say it needed one. You had said earlier in this post to try logging out of my account but I still don’t understand how I can do that if I can’t get past the loading screen?

Sorry to hear you've been battling this for a while. Are you able to load up the game if you go to your Facebook account and unlink it from Madden Overdrive? (Go to settings>Apps when you're on Facebook)

 

Once you load up the game, re-sync up the account. 

There are some steps below that are helpful, but if you're playing on an older device try turning down the graphics via the in-game settings>Preferences. That will help performance and avoid loading/crashes issues.
