Unable to start game

I just bought the standard edition of the game today and I keep running into this issue where I cannot seem to launch the game. I have tried all of the fixes noted in previous forum posts, but none seem to be working.

I will launch the game through steam, wait until the static Saquon Barkley loading screen is finished, and then nothing. Instead it just throws me back to the EA App without any error message. This has made solving the problem difficult.

As I mentioned, I tried to check my video card drivers, the DirectX version, C++  redist, clean boot, but nothing seems to work and as I mentioned I don’t get an error message.

Has anyone else experienced/fixed this issue?

Is this even an issue on my end, or is the game just terrible at launch, per EA standards?
