Hi @notlincecum @BWolf201 @famestar32
Thanks for letting us know what you're running into!
For the error code, can we try the following steps shared by Sony?
- 6 months ago@EA_Illium The first comment in this thread literally says that he already tried the Sony Error Code support suggestions... Shows how much you guys are really working on this! Fix the 9/3/24 update. It's the game not the console. People are reporting it on all 3 platforms.

Lost Player and Pre-Order Bonuses After Game Update in Madden 25
Which mode has this happened in?
Superstar (Now called "Face of the Franchise")
Summarize your bugI’ve encountered a serious issue with Madden 25 on PlayStation 5 following the most recent update. Initially, everything was working fine—I had built my player up to a 99 overall in what was then called Superstar Mode. I was able to use the 4,500 points and other bonuses I received as part of the Madden 25 and College Football 25 pre-order bundle to progress in the game.
However, after the last update, the game began crashing every time I tried to play. I followed troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue, but after doing so, the game reset, and I lost all my progress. Now, the mode is called Face of the Franchise, and my player, career, and all associated progress have been completely erased. I also no longer have access to any of the pre-order bonuses.
How often does the bug occur?Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?
I submitted detailed crash reports every time it happened for error code: CE-108255-1
What happens when the bug occurs?I've lost all game data since trying to troubleshoot the crashes
What do you expect to see?As a resolution, if it’s not possible to recover my player, I would like the pre-order bonuses restored so I can start over again.

Hey Everyone,
We appreciate all the info you’ve shared with us so far on these crashes and error codes. If you haven't so far, please try the steps from Sony:
You can also try the following:
Spoiler- Make sure you have the latest software update.
- Troubleshoot your connection to EA games
- Perform a power cycle.
- Touch the power button on the front of the console for at least seven seconds until the system beeps twice.
- Turn it back on after one minute.
- Launch your game.
- Unplug any devices attached to the USB slot.
- Restore the license for the game.
- Go to Settings on your PlayStation.
- Click Account Management then Restore Licenses.
If you continue running into this error message on your console, you might want to try some workarounds shared be the community. I wanted to take a moment and highlight some that other players have shared in the past. These may help with the error codes that you've been seeing.
Please note: these are not official steps from PlayStation for these error codes, but they have helped other players in the past.When you have a moment please give these steps a try:
Spoiler- If you have an external storage drive, check to see if the game has been accidentally installed on both the internal and external drives. Sometimes the game can be installed on the external drive, but the updates are installed on the internal. Data is being pulled from two different sources which can cause technical issues.
- One way to do this is by uninstalling CF25 and temporarily removing your external drive. Then check if any files remain on your internal drive. If not, reinstall CF25 on your internal drive and test again.
- If anything is plugged into a USB slot on the console, remove the device and test again.
- Other common community solutions (I've linked the posts below):

Thanks!

Seriously, do you guys even give a crap? Read the post, tried all those steps. It’s something with the game, not PS5. Only game this happens with. This game is the buggiest game i have even had. To much time spent trying to create opportunities to make money throughout the game, not enough attention to the performance

Not sure if you all understand the severity of this issue, but in the past 3 days this error code is the #1 searched thing on google for Madden 25. Understand your company prioritizes by the number of people who have reported the same issue but there are definitely more than the few of us who have reported in this thread that have the same issue. #1 request at least a response saying you’re troubleshooting, & #2 request you all increase the priority of the issue to your tech department. We all paid our money to enjoy this game but are unable to at this current time.

We've all tried this.. But you're not paying attention to the issued raised by customers, not like a human anyways.
At this point, are we able to get a full refund?
