FIFA 23 Not Launching Steam. PLEASE HELP!

When attempting to launch the game through Steam I hit the green play button, the ea app starts and says "Preparing Game" in a small window, while steam starts validating the game.  Once the game finishes validating at 100%, nothing happens and the Green Play button reappears. In the EA app when selecting the Fifa 23 game the Play option does not appear, only a manage button. I cannot download it through the EA app since my game key was for steam.

I have done everything possible to make this game run and nothing has worked. 

Uninstalled and reinstalled the game, 

Uninstalled and reinstalled the ea app

cleared cache on ea app

verify integrity of game files on steam 

installed the certificates from the digital signatures

run as administrator for ea app and  ea  fifa 23 desktop shortcut, (no option for run as administrator for steam fifa 23 shortcut)

uninstalled and reinstalled anticheat installer

allowed firewall exceptions through windows for fifa 23 and ea app.

By the way I own Over 20+ EA games on PC through Steam and the Ea App not the rented EA play

and they all work except FIFA 23!

Can anyone verify that their game is working in 2025, on Steam, and if so HOW???
