Madden 16 keeps playing intro

Every time I put in Madden 16, it is like the first time I put in the disk. It makes me play the super bowl 50, and then pick my favorite team and setting etc. But my MUT, saves, but it is as if Madden thinks I am playing for the first time everytime, very frustrating
  • Ok just found the fix for this problem.  This was from another post I found on muthead.  <---click this link if you've never been here very useful information.  Ok back to the matter at hand.  I can't take credit for this so here's how to fix it.

    To resolve this issue, you will need to clear out the local data for madden 16 associated with your Gamer tag. To do so, please see the steps below:

    You can manage your data for individual games through My games & apps on your Home screen.

    - From the Home screen, select My games & apps.
    - Highlight Madden 16 2015, press the Menu button on your controller, and then select Manage game.
    - Scroll to the right, highlight the saved data for your gamer tag under Saved Data, and then press A on your controller.
    - You will be prompted to confirm deletion of this game save data.
    - Delete from console will remove the local copy of this save. You can retrieve it from the cloud the next time you play.  <---- see side note below
    - Turn off the console and unplug it from the Outlet and plug it back in.
    - Leave the console for 30 seconds to clear out the cache and then turn the console back on.

    After completing the above steps, please load up Madden 16. This will prompt an automatic resync of your data with the Xbox Live servers. There is a chance that this will provide a message "Failed to synchronize data". If this occurs, simply select the "Retry" option. This should prompt it to complete properly. At that point you should be able to play as normal.

    Side Note

    One thing for me though.  The part I have in bold and underlined, you are given 2 options here, you are given the choice to delete profile data from the console, and the other choice is to delete profile data from everywhere.  I tried to delete from the console first but it didn't work for me,  I had to delete data from everywhere for it to work.  When you delete from everywhere which means from your console and the cloud you will loose any game saves you have locally.  So if you are playing CFM and have it stored locally it will be gone.  MUT on the other hand is stored on the EA cloud so it's all there.  Now if you read my post from above you will see on the screen shots there my profile had no date so that means the file is corrupted.  Now since doing this trick my profile now has a date listed by it and when I log in, I log in to the menu now and no more Superbowl!

    Okay I just recently been having the problem and my games and apps cannot access files for some reason, I'm up to date on software.

    Anyway here is THE FIX that worked for me. I had my xbox one ON and running. I went up to the Xbox and pressed and held down the power button for 10 seconds. And then waited for it to totally stop running and controller turn off. Then turned it back on after about 30 seconds. And BOOM it worked loading my game and continued to load my madden profile properly. NO more intro playing as the damn steelers. It worked for me and I hope it works for everyone else having this problem as of late. I started having the problem on 2/12/2016

    Let me know if this if works Thanks!

    I have one question about this. Should it make you replay the intro one more time if you delete all data? Thanks in advance.

    Does anybody know the fix for ps4? I've basically done the equivalent of what was said for Xbox on ps4 and it didn't do anything for me.

    Couldnt be more annoyed with this. What a stupid bunch of morons these EA developers are. Have to go thru this fing intro every time. Its what sucks about ps4 games in general...takes 30 min before you can ever play. FU EA.
