CONSTANT "LOADING" SCREEN FREEZES... PC (FIXED MAYBE?)

IF YOUR GAME FREEZES AT LOADING SCREENS... RUN THE GAME IN WINDOWED MODE. ONLY SOLUTION...
 
PC
i5-6600k
EVGA 970FTW
512gb EVO SSD
Windows 10(updated)
 

Ever since I got this game... The game randomly, but frequently freezes during any "Loading..." screen, causing you to Ctrl-Al-Del to exit.

ITS REALLY F'ING ANNOYING

AND FYI... ITS NOT ON MY END.

Also noticed that this issue has been unresolved since this game was released, as I have searched for before creating this topic, and noticed COUNTLESS UNRESOLVED posts about this issue.

ALSO... NO CONTROLLER VIBRATION... Again an issue since release.

And before the Copy/Paste tech response...

1. Drivers Updated and/or rolled back

2. Windows is updated

3. Dx11 and Dx12 both tried

4. Settings all tried.

5. Don't even know why I have to type this, but I've read some of the dumb responses already, but, my BIOS is up to date.

6. My CPU/GPU temps are fine.

7. Game has been reinstalled, repaired, yadda yadda

8. Both Online and Offline has no effect on these "Loading..." screen freezes.

9. I'm done typing all this, I'm not an idiot, it's not on my end.

FYI this wasn't an issue with Madden 20... Both the "Loading..." screen freezes and the Controller Vibration.

    FInished 15 games of a Franchise with 0 "Loading..." screen freezes... Tried my last in game in Fullscreen for * and giggles, literally froze on the 2nd "Loading..." screen after my Weekly Training.

    Conclusion, Fullscreen in this game is borked... Also running the game Windowed in Borderless Fullscreen with a github application, I noticed the game used literally 1/3 less CPU, and GPU usage and obviously doesn't crash at every other "Loading..." screen.

    Amazing that games been out 4 months now and EA never found or fixed this issue(if they even attempted too)... Yet it took me less than a day.

    The non-vibration on PC controllers though... Notta clue.

    Sort of found a "work around"... And it's a real * one.

    I haven't gotten a "Loading..." screen freeze since switching to Windowed mode. Normally this wouldn't be an issue either, but EA doesn't know how to add Windowed Borderless into their games after how many years now?

    Anyhoo... Will update if I get a "freeze" but so far played for about 5 hours without one, whereas before, would get one 1 outta every "Loading..." screens.

    And yes I know it's miserable looking playing in  Windowed mode on my 27' screen.

    Obviously something [removed - CM] when this game runs Fullscreen and it hits a "Loading..." screen...

    Still haven't had a "Loading..." screen freeze since switching to Windowed mode... So gonna have to assume EA just can't properly test their games in Fullscreen.

    Gonna try a Borderless Window program as well to try to jerryrig this game to play in pseudo-fullscreen, since EA still doesn't put that option in game in 2020.

    Also found no "fix" for Controller Vibration not working... Just chalk that up to EA once again not giving a crap about supporting their products on PC.
