Re: Madden 23 Series X Crashing

Just found out that it crashes both players in the match. Friend of mine bought a brand new series x a couple of weeks ago.  We loaded into an unranked match and it sent both of us to the dashboard in the second half at the same exact time. Clearly it’s EA

    Hey Everyone, 

    Thanks for letting us know about the crashing issue when using a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S. I wanted to give a quick update, we've seen various reports since the launch some of these issues should now be resolved. 

    If you continue seeing crashing try going through the following first.

     Xbox:

    • Change power-saving options 
    • Close other running games or apps, (for Series X|S also close others running in quick resume)

    • Check for updates 
    • Connection and Advance Connection Guides 
    • Troubleshoot your Xbox NAT Type
    • Change DNS settings (You can use the public google DNS primary: 8.8.8.8, secondary: 8.8.4.4, unless there is a different DNS you would rather use)  
    • Persistent Storage 
    • Go to settings > Select Device & Connections > Then Blue-Ray

    The problem will never be fixed as long as they believe it’s a PlayStation/Xbox issue

    Wild I could spend $100 to preorder the game and then over $200 more on points to still not be able to properly LAUNCH the game 2 weeks after release.

    Hi Everyone, 

    We did have one player find a workaround to crashing here, by making sure they only had one persona of each platform tied to their EA account. 

    If you're seeing crashes or error message pop up, you can check at profile.ea.com if you only have one if not can you try removing any additional ones and connecting them to their own EA accounts then see if your main account continues to have issues. 

    Please keep in mind that removing the additional accounts will remove progress from them. For more information check out our help articles on linking and unlinking, 

      

    Cheers!

    I see two PlayStation accounts on mine, but there is not a “unlink” option for either.

    So you're telling me that to play Madden 23, I will have to unlink my Steam account, which I have used to play Apex Legends, lose all my progress and skins that I bought there, for this to POTENTIALLY solve your games crashing/login/launch issues?

    Idk call me crazy but I think this should probably be solved by you guys because no other games have these kinds of issues and I'm not throwing away all my progress and money spent on a different game for a solution that might not work

    Apex has never had an issue with my multiple accounts linked to my EA account. Maybe Madden's developers should figure out a solution if that is the problem because I cannot fathom how using EA's own account linking features should force me to wipe my progress in order to play one of their games.

    @EA_Illium dome tried all these steps and game still freezes. Are you guys going to do something about the damn issue?!!! We’re asking for help and you guys aren’t coming up with a solution for a lot of players.

    I can tell you that none of what suggested works. I can't even get to the start menu. I found a work around for the Series X to get me to the start menu and play a few games before it crashes again. If you have a Series X, while its loading after you press any button, don't quit and just start different game that you have. Once the other game has started, go back to Madden and it will show quick resume. It will tell you that lost connection to to Xbox Live and the EA servers. It will then finishing loading to the main screen. When you're there sign in to the EA servers using the RT and you should be able to get a few games in before the dam thing dies again. Then you have to repeat the process (so play quick if you're playing alone). If you're playing online you're * out of luck unles EA stops blaming the systems and fixes a bug that is clearing in the game.  It can not be a system problem that you can fix if its happening to so many ppl and on different consoles. When that happens its not your console its the damn game.
