@ProRecoil Ok it seems this problem is FAR WORSE than FIFA 23.

There are far more instances in EAFC 24 of the menus causing the fan speed to max out and the PS5 then giving out an overheating error. This is a severe defect in the game and needs attention ASAP!

So far i count 3 game modes (Volta, Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs) that this problem occurs in, not to forget the Main Menu. The product is pretty much unusable when this occurs as often as it does.

@ProRecoil Hello, I'm facing the same problem than you, I have a disc version PS5 with EAFC 24 digital version. The fan turns crazy in the menus including main menu and pauses, I've had this problem since FIFA 23 but I've read that this has happen since FIFA 22 so it's a EA problem.

The worst thing is that when you ask for help in forums they answer with the same generic answers like clean the fan o put it horizontal.

I found a little solution to prevent that the PS5 turn off due to the overheating, when you get into a menu, press the PS button, go to Game Base in the Friends section and press Search Players button.

This calms the fan for a few seconds, so you can do this in the half time to being able to finish a match with no problem, you can't stay in the Search Players menu more than 15 seconds because it kick you out of the match due to inactivity.

It's disappointing we have to do these things to play a match with normality but that way worked for me so I hope this can help you.
