Squads Frozen After Matchmaking
My friend and I have been playing alot of squads. I prefer to run the offense while he runs the defense. We currently get stuck in the black loading screen between the lobby matchmaking screen and the field/gameplay. After a week of troubleshooting this only seems to happen when I play offense and he plays defense.
Oddly enough, the game loads just fine when we queue for trios. Myself as offense and him as defense. So why doesn't it work in duos? We have swapped our lineups around dozens of times. Going for the generate best lineup, removing players who play two secondary positions. We have both reinstalled fresh copies of the game, we don't run any extra apps, we communicate over discord on our PCs while we play on PS5 even.
This is somewhat frustrating because we've both spent money on the game and to unlock new better players. The longer we are locked out the more devalued our cards become meaning we've wasted money on packs we can't even use.
It's not a network issue since I can play the defense and he can play offense, it also works in trios just fine. The only thing that isn't the same from duos to trios is my friends team name, and stadiums. We've changed all of that around aside from the team name (will try that tonight) and haven't had any luck.
It's been about a week and half of troubleshooting for us now and we haven't been able to lift this curse. I contacted the support line and while Alvin was very helpful, they didn't have a fix there. If anyone knows of any fixes please reach out! I want to get back to slingin the pigskin for pick 6's!
