Constant freezing mid-game

Product: madden 25
Platform:ps5
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure - this randomly started happening to every game I try to play regardless of mode. Even on local split screen. 
What happens when the bug occurs? At a random point during a game, the game completely freezes. I can still use the ps interface but anything in game is completely frozen.


What do you expect to see? Be able to play and finish a full game on this video game I payed 60 dollars for
Was the issue in online or offline mode? Both
What time did you see the bug? Constantly after 7pm pst on 2/8/25
What is your time zone? PST
before copy and pasting the standard PlayStation fixes, please note that I have cleared and rebuilt the caches in safe mode, uninstalled and reinstalled, factory reset my PlayStation, and the problem still persists. No other game is giving me these issues. Please fix this or provide a refund.

    Hi there. Try rebuilding your database and clearing the system cache. Those instructions can be found here. Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

    I have tried that solution already unfortunately. As well as factory resetting the PlayStation itself. No luck with either.

    Is your console in a well ventilated area with the vents free of dust and debris?

    I Tried contacting EA agents i experience the same problem with my series X in a well ventilated area. I factory reset it, It's ventilated, I cleared cache, swapped mac address, plugged my series X to the wall, cleaned out debris, tone down graphics to performance levels, removed every quick resume game from my xbox. did everything and the game can barely put out 1 game before it hard crashes. 

    Tried contacting EaSports and they just "resolved" my ticket without messaging me back.

    Literally I could play cod war zone for 3 hours straight with no crashes, same goes with ea FC25. there's a bug within the game either some massive memory leaks happen when select users play, or something else like the code within the game overheats certain parts of the ps5 or xbox causing an emergency force shut down 

    Let me ask you this is your console a day 1 console? the only thing i haven't tried was buying an external fan to add more cooling ventilation to my xbox. mines a day 1 console and that may be the problem. but xbox hasn't changed any thermal settings in consoles.

    Yup sure is! No other game has any issues running and my ps5 has never froze before or after this issue with madden started. 

    I am 1000% sure this is a EA software issue. Please advise. Thank you for responding in the first place I appreciate it but a legitimate response to this would be much appreciated because I specified the details in the first place.

    We'll keep an eye out for other reports. Currently, we're not aware of any issues with the game that would cause your console to freeze in the middle of a game.

    Dude— the console isn’t freezing. The game is freezing. IT ISNT A CONSOLE ISSUE, AS IT HAPPENS ON ALL PLATFORMS. This “Bug/Glitch” has been in your game for years, and a simple internet search will show you hundreds if not thousands of people complaining about these issues going all the way back to games released almost a decade ago. Why keep blatantly lying about this?
