The full game is now LIVE on EA Play! If you do not see it available to download, please try power cycling your console and re-open the EA Play App to see it listed under The Vault.

Hi folks,

 

Which platform are you playing on? Is it always getting stuck at the same spot, or does it seem like it's just random?

I have the same problem, my game usually stops loading at the "reviewing the game plan" part of the loading bar. I am on Xbox one x

PS4. Start the trial, then stare at this loading screen. Lost 45 minutes of my ten hours so far

I don't know if this will help anyone, but to get my game working again, I did a reset on my Xbox and kept my games on and I booted madden 21 back up and it was fixed. I was able to get back into my franchise just like that, even though I lost about an hour and thirty minutes trying to solve the problem.

i’m having the same issue, i’m on ps4. Does anyone know a possible fix? i’m worried it’s gonna continue to do this for the games launch and i’ve yet to get a fix from EA after contacting them twice.

Hey @ruger76

 

Do you have Madden installed on an external drive, or is it using the hard drive that was included in your PS4?
