Unable to load up Madden on EA Play First Play Trial - Stuck on loading screen

Did yours start working yet? I am experiencing the same  * literally every year.

@EA_Barry 

my screens not going dark but the loading bar freezes on the start up and wont progress further i've tried everything but i can't get past it. I would be grateful for any help, thx

Hi folks,

Which platform are you playing on? Is it always getting stuck at the same spot, or does it seem like it's just random?

I have the same problem, my game usually stops loading at the "reviewing the game plan" part of the loading bar. I am on Xbox one x

PS4. Start the trial, then stare at this loading screen. Lost 45 minutes of my ten hours so far

I don't know if this will help anyone, but to get my game working again, I did a reset on my Xbox and kept my games on and I booted madden 21 back up and it was fixed. I was able to get back into my franchise just like that, even though I lost about an hour and thirty minutes trying to solve the problem. 

i’m having the same issue, i’m on ps4. Does anyone know a possible fix? i’m worried it’s gonna continue to do this for the games launch and i’ve yet to get a fix from EA after contacting them twice.

Hey @ruger76. 

Do you have Madden installed on an external drive, or is it using the hard drive that was included in your PS4?

is anyone else having problems trying to load into madden 21? I bought the mvp version and have early access. When I get to the "push any button" screen, its loads about 3/4 of the way then dims and freezes. I think its trying to sign into ea and it just freezes.
