So I had purchased Madden 25 on steam and that was apparently the reason it wasn't launching, something with the API and/or steam SDK not working properly (I don't really remember which). I was still able to refund the game on steam and then purchase it on EA instead after which it worked perfectly the first time. So for some reason even though the game is available to purchase on steam it didn't launch properly if you did so. Unfortunately this is not really a solution to the problem but rather a workaround if you are still able to refund the game on steam. And if the game was originally purchased on EA and the issue was there anyway I really don't know what to do.
