Thanks for the info on that one. So, yeah, that server downtime on July 16th definitely caused some issues, and that would explain why the slot isn't showing up.
When you create an RTG character, the game needs an online "handshake" connection to build that Trophy Room slot for your profile. Since the servers were down when you made that save, the game saved your career locally on your PC, but that link to the Trophy Room never actually got created.
Before writing off that save's trophies entirely, there are a few PC resync tricks worth trying:
- Force an Online Save: Load your Michigan TE save while fully connected to the internet. Do a quick weekly agenda task or practice to get an XP change, then create a new manual save. That forces the game to try sending a fresh profile update to the servers.
- Clear the EA App Cache: Close the game and the EA App completely. Open the EA App, go to Help ➔ App Recovery, and hit Clear Cache. Relaunch the app as Administrator, then boot up the game to see if your profile index refreshes.
- Finish a Quick Play Now Game: Play a short Play Now or Mascot Mode match all the way to the end while online. Finishing a game triggers a global account check on EA's end, which can sometimes nudge missing profile data into syncing.
If the slot still doesn't pop up after those, then unfortunately, that save is stuck without a linked slot. You can still play through and enjoy the career itself, but saves made during downtime won't retroactively build a missing Trophy Room slot.
