Re: PSA: Fully Exit Madden NFL 22 To Avoid Loss of EA Play Trial Time

Why did my trial expire after quitting out of the game and quitting out of it on quick resume. I played for 3 hours and my trial says its already over. I play on the series X and see many people with the same issue. I feel like the game really never shutdown after closing out of it all.

    Hey Madden NFL Community,

    Some players in our Madden NFL 22 Early Access Trial on Xbox are seeing their countdown timer running down after exiting the game. Our teams are currently investigating this issue with Microsoft. 

    For players who may have lost time in the trial, we are working to resolve this and ensure impacted players have the opportunity to get their full Madden NFL 22 Trial experience. We will be updating this forum thread with additional details as soon as possible.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding while we seek to resolve this issue.

    Workaround:

    To ensure you get your full 10 hours, please close out the game app "Madden NFL 22" and then shut down your console completely to keep the countdown timer from running in the background. Players are able to power their console back on without the Early Access Trial timer resuming until Madden NFL 22 is started again.

    Yes, that is what I did, quit game using Manage & quit from home and shut down console. Turned console on and apparently Timer expired! Could not start game anymore.


  • @EA_KRAELO hi mate thanks for the update , that’s exactly what I did , it was 1am in Scotland I was going to bed I quit the game , check the quick resume thingy and shutdown my Xbox , also done the same on the Friday supposed to be working jumped on for an hour then quit etc and shut down my series x , I still lost 7 hours , my Xbox achievements shows I played for 2 hours and 53 minutes , any additional help would be great , can EA not just open the trial for Sunday all day and close it at midnight US time and you guys can determine the time zone to choose , I’m in Scotland and I would be fine with that , it would appease your customers and show good will which as of now has been  lacking as I’m sure you will agree thanks Mike
