Madden 20 won’t load

★★★ Newbie
  • Madden 20 on PS4 is getting stuck at the Showtime! Load Screen. I have Closed App, Restarted System, and Checked for Updates. Nothing is resolving. Tried reaching out to EA and Sony, but nothing. Any suggestions or help! Thanks

I was having the same problem with PS4 using wired connection. I switched it to WiFi and was able to finally get into the game.

Are you both on wired and able to get in after switching to WiFi under the PSN settings?

I’ll give it a shot this evening and let you know. I have been wired up until this point

Keep us updated on this. I'm not saying you need to now play on a WiFi connection, but this helps us narrow down what the probable cause could be. If the game has been getting installed with the updates on one connection type, perhaps uninstall the game and reinstall on WiFi to see if we can get around it that way.

Thank you for hanging in there for us. Please let me know if these steps help fix it for you.

 

  1. Visit Help.EA.com and make sure you are signed out.
  2. Then, sign back in using your PSN credentials using the PlayStation icon at the bottom of the log in screen.
  3. Once that's done, please visit Profile.EA.com and check to see if your email address has been verified. 
  4. Power cycle your console and internet. (unplug the modem and router for 5-10 minutes)
    1. Touch the power button on the front of the PS4 for at least 7 seconds (until the system beeps twice).
    2. Turn it back on after 1 minute. Launch the game.

I'm concerned the game is freezing at the title screen because it's attempting to pull EA account data. Others have been able to get passed the title screen after disconnecting from the internet so there appears to be some correlation with pulling EA account data.

@EA_Blueberry did all that and no luck, so i thought with everything reset id try deleting and reinstalling the game. sure enough just like last time it worked until the update file is downloaded(1.07) tried this a few times and each time noticed as the update was downloading right from the beginning it says 1 download 1 error, but it finishes downloading but maybe that error has something to do with it. but its definitly the update thats screwing me over.
