@EA_Blueberry it just happened again to me. This is now three consecutive weeks. Apparently the issue is happening across all platforms.
I am currently actually still in the Solo battles menu after completing my 12th game. My 13th game is unchecked, but when I try to play it I get "PENDING GAME RESULTS. This event is not available" with "ok" being the only option.
This is the same experience I had last week. If I leave the Solo Battles menu, it will act as if I played all 13 games and no longer give me the option to play games--just view my status on the leaderboards.
I would hope that EA has the ability to troubleshoot this issue, as people have been reporting it since Solo Battles launched. However, to aid the troubleshooting process (if there even is any... it really feels like EA doesn't care at all) is it possible that this is triggered by an item on the auction house selling while you're in the game? I believe that each time I've received this error, I have had an item sell during the solo battle. This typically just results in the game's score screen being messed up and showing all zeroes--but maybe if it happens during the 12th game, it causes this problem.
I took a look at the top 100 leaderboard (on PC) for several weeks now. in the top 100 list are about 4-5 players who only finished 12 Solo Battle games. I assume that all these players faced one DNF. if they had finished their 13th game, they would have ranked top 10 (e.g. it was 2 last week, incl. @midgman8421 for instance) or at least top 25.
summarising, 5 would have made the top 25 without this bug. if i now assume that the percentage of players who experience a DNF is similar no matter how many points they score, then that would mean that around 20% of players are affected by this bug week after week. if conservatively estimated only half would be affected, then still 1 in 10 is affected by a DNF.so it's definitely a problem that can be safely ignored for months without decreasing customer satisfaction....

if I were in charge, in a game that is so prone to bugs and disconnects, I would never, ever offer a mode that goes on for a week. I would much rather see two new opponents every day: one extremely strong and one moderately strong. the goal is just to win. the higher the skill score, the higher the reward in coins should be. if you win the game, you should win a pack: with the difficult opponent, either a Redzone Pack, or (with low probability) a TD Pack; with the mediocre opponent, either a Hail Mary Pack, or (again, with low probability) a Midfield Pack.
I would also like the game to be repeatable. it doesn't matter if there is a leaderboard or not (which is the main reason why Solo Battle games are not repeatable), if the leaderboard mainly depends on whether you experience a DNF or not anyway....
if it absolutely needs a leaderboard, then I would randomly draw 2-3 players from the daily best skill scores and announce the winners in Good Morning Madden. so, instead of these pointless chat posts, dump trucks etc. could be awarded based on an 'achievment'. maybe one could add a higher probability depending on your top score. the better you played, the higher the likelihood that you are chosen...

I was locked out from completing my 13th game this week. This is randomly the second week this year of being locked out and therefore not being able to complete the 13 games of Solo Battles. As a top 100 player this 1 game missed costs me roughly 200k of coins. This is clearly not just an issue for me but a global issue on both console's that needs an escalation in addressing. Without a proper resolution this is a breach of contract. Please do your jobs and figure this out.

I have had the same issue off and on all year this madden. I went to next gen and hadn’t had an issue with this till this past weekend when I was slated for a top 10 finish. This happened right after they updated the Max AP to 12. I could tell something was different at it was no longer breaking down my solo battle score after the end of each game
