Games such as Madden 24 ( and apps such as EA ) won't be allowed to download on a COMPANY laptop. This is due to it being owned by a company and it not being for your own personal use. If it's for anyone's personal use it's your dad's! This is why the issue has risen.
I believe you can download the EA app on a phone ( depending on the model ) but it limits the types of games you can play ( e.g. The Sims 4 is not playable ).
An easier option would probably be to download Madden Mobile on your phone to play instead. It's very very similar and it's simpler then needing to download the EA app and then potentially finding out that the game you want isn't available for mobile usage.
Hope this helps xx
I don't work for EA but Iike to help fellow gamers 🙂

I don't work for EA but Iike to help fellow gamers 🙂There is no EA app for any other platform other than Windows (at the moment). There is an EA app for Mac in development, however.
@w1llyb1lly36, to answer your question: if you can't install the EA app on your Windows device because it is being locked by an Admin account, there is no way to bypass this. I am indeed aware of the issue that arises in that case concerning creating a child (or teen account upgrade), and this feedback has been passed on. In this case, the only workaround I can recommend is trying to install the EA app on a device that isn't 'locked'.
