Madden 23 Won't Launch
I recently purchased Madden 23 on Steam a few days ago and since installing it, I've yet to be able to get the game to launch from either Steam or EA. I've also tried troubleshooting it with multiple...

I "might" have a workaround everyone!... On the PS5 anyway, might work on other platforms too...
On PS5 go into settings > Network. Disable connect to internet. Then open Madden 23. You will get a message about some things not being available unless you are logged into your EA account, just click ok. The game will finally load past the initial loading screen and you will get to the main menu. Click the middle PS button, go back to settings > network and re-enable connect to internet. Now go back into the game and hit R2 to log into EA. It will spin for a bit in the bottom right corner, but mine did connect. I verified I was online by checking for latest live content.
I did not have time to try an online game or anything, but it did appear I was online.
After I did this, I closed madden and went back in with internet connected and unfortunately I still have the issue, but at least I might have a workaround for now... or maybe forever because i doubt EA is going to anything about it.
Hope this helps everyone out!
@DougDude tried launching Madden 23 with no internet connection on Steam for PC. No luck unfortunately.

Oh man, that sucks! Well, I saw in another post someone decided to just create a new EA account. LIke I mentioned previously on all these threads, my sons profile which has his on EA account works on the same PS5. So I think there is something going on with "some" accounts. I have no idea why or what happened. It is pretty upsetting especially if you have certain accomplishments tied to your EA account.
I'm hoping my workaround on the ps5 works. I didn't have time to try an online game or anything, but it did at least show I was logged into my EA acct in the game, so I'm hopeful. I'll have to try it out tomorrow night.
