Super Star Showdown Unknown Error Please Try Again Later

LUCKY DAY MY FRIEND!!! I had the saaame issue and this is the way around it. When u enter ranked squad, ready up fastly, before the error sign shows up. When u do that, the error sign should still be on the screen. Now don't click anything after u have already readied up, with the error still on the screen. Let the game load by selecting your position for u, all while the error message is still on the screen. Now once it has selected ur position for u automatically, the game will load u and ur team onto the field, and boom, error message gone for good. If it ever comes up again, same thing....ready up fast, before the error message shows up, and let it select ur position for u, without clicking off the error message. Once it loads onto the field, error message gone. I was off the game a whole 2 months cause of it. Just gotta be patient that's all. 

when i click on the showdown tab it gives me a error right away. I cant even select squads, celebration, or solo. Doesnt even show up. Game is so [removed]. Screwed me out of last season top 100 by freezing my RP and now this. EA help is a joke. I dont expect this to resolve itself anytime soon which sucks since the new season started on Wed. It was working great for the 2 days and all of a sudden this happens.

Oh yeah about that......u get that 1 second window to ready up fast fast. .....like literally right when u enter the game the first time.... put it like this.....restart ur whole madden. And when u get on showdown, very fast click ready

i cant even ready up. just gives me that right away when i click on it. I'll have to wait for a update. I noticed my squads rank icon is glitching so whenever i go to click on it the game crashes. I took everything off my team banner and put it back to default and still have the same issue. 

Hey, folks

I wanted to see if this worked for anyone else. Sometimes, we get the error "An unknown error has occurred." It is so generic that it could be caused by many things.

See if the following helps:

When you enter ranked squad, prepare quickly before the error sign shows up. When you do that, the error sign should still be on the screen.

Now, don't click anything after you have already readied up, with the error still on the screen. Let the game load by selecting your position for you, all while the error message is still on the screen.

Now, once it has selected your position for you automatically, the game will load you and your team onto the field, and boom, the error message is gone for good. If it ever comes up again, the same thing: ready up fast before the error message shows up and let it select your position for you without clicking off the error message.

Once it loads onto the field, the error message is gone. Because of it, I was off the game for two months. You just have to be patient, that's all. 

when i go to click the showdown link it gives the football animation load screen then goes right into that error. I cant even select anything. 

No_Xcuses25 which platform are you on? I want to test a couple of things out.

Oh yeah about that.....you get a 1 second chance when u firstly start the game.....Basically restart the entire madden, and when u enter showdown, it will give u a milli second to hit ready.  So do this,  right when, and I mean right when you enter showdown ranked, ready up like bro....SUPER FAST.....I can't emphasize that enough.  Be fast. You got this. The game got better

Having the same problem it won't let me get past the verification you keep saying EA servers are down it's been almost 2 weeks

No_Xcuses25 Have you been able to get into Showdown?
