Re: Why does madden 21 not launch on Xbox one ?

Hey @littylogan

Do you have the game installed on an external storage drive, or is it stored on the drive that's built into your Xbox?

  • My game won’t get past the load screen. I try to open the game and is shows Lamar then it goes to a no input screen. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, reset the power to the Xbox, tried with madden 20 and 19 which also didn’t work, deleted all my save files, now I have created a new Xbox account and new ea account, none of which have worked

    Hi, @Kinger2223 

    Let's get this fixed for you.

    Do you own the game digitally or are you trying to play it through an EA Play/Xbox Game Pass membership? Curious to know how you're installing it and whether you have anything plugged into the USB slots on the console.

    Have you tried loading up the game from both a WiFi or wired connection and rebooted the router to see if it could be network related?

    I have the disc version of the game. I have nothing plugged into the USB ports and my connection is all good.

    @Kinger2223 

    Let's see if it's connectivity related. Can you try disabling the internet from the Xbox and then insert the disc. Let me know if you can get in that way.

    @Kinger2223 Do you know if you have a pending software update for your Xbox One?

    There is also an option to clear the MAC Address under Network Settings. Can you try that?

    1. Clear the MAC Address: From the Xbox dashboard select Settings>All Settings>Network>Network Settings>Advanced Settings>Alternate MAC address>Clear, then restart your Xbox.

    Does this help? It was a solution in another thread:

    FINALLY! Just resolved my issue (Xbox One)

    Settings > General > Power Mode and Start up > Full Shutdown. After about 20 minutes i went back in to reboot the game and pressed start at the “Press Any Button” Screen . Loaded as advertised! Hope this helps

    Goodluck
