    The full game is now LIVE on EA Play! If you do not see it available to download, please try power cycling your console and re-open the EA Play App to see it listed under The Vault.

I tried running the Madden 21 Trial on PC. I am using the Origin app, I have the EA Play Subscription and I also have no issues running Madden 20. I get two errors at the loading screen. The first is the "unable to connect to EA servers" error and the second is the "you are blocked from accessing onine features" error (Same error as in the screenshot posted above by the previous poster). I have to Alt-Tab out to Task Manager and manually close the Madden process in order to exit the game, since it won't load to the Main Menu. Also, despite never getting to the Main Menu, it is telling me while the game is loading that I only have 9 hours of gameplay left. I guess it is counting the times I've been stuck at the loading screen as "game time" lol. It would be great if this issue could get fixed and if I could get back to 10 hours of game time since I've yet to even browse the Main Menu for a single minute.

@jgofframs Exactly the same bro, I swear i just open to check and close madden for like 2 minutes now it eats up almost 5 to 6 minutes each time of the trial.

    @CookayPK Almost same happened to me. I lost all hours and only opened up Madden 5-6 times to see if it would work. At most I was in it for 5 min. max. Next thing I know, my hours are gone and I know I didn't spend 10 hours in the intro or menus.

    @HagTaz83 Yeah this issue needs to be resolve fast, a lot of people payed to try out the game but never got their money worth plus they can't wait more than 1 month. I'd suggest those who come to this thread who has the same problem to stop opening their game until there's a reply with a sure solution to this.

    @EA_Kent this is atrocious. Look how many people are affected by this bug and you turn a cold shoulder on fixing this since October? Ridiculous.

    I'm playing ea play trial on PS5. Same problem as most people that it says ea servers can't be connected, although I can play any other EA game or literally any game online and have 1000 mbps down/1000 mbps up connection.

    PLEASE FIX. I have been a loyal EA support but I won't continue to support a company like this if you can't fix an issue affected thousands of customers...
