Just trying to play without internet

I don’t have access to Internet and I’m trying to play Madden 27 but it freezes at the initial loading screen after the EA sports introduction. I can play every other game without any problems

  • Same here. Even exchanged my Madden 27 for another one. SMH. I hopped on First Light and took my frustrations out

    Could you save the game to an external hard drive?

     I ask because then you could take it with you somewhere that has internet, save the game…go back home and you are good to go. If you don't have one I might be able to help you out. Let me know.

    Ok, so I play without internet turned on. You only need it to start the first time. I don’t know why.  If there is any way you can get internet to start the game you will be good to go. Although the game is kind of a mess right now so missing the updates is going to be rough.
