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

OK so I found a fix that might help you guys.
After this wasn't working for me in the fall I decided I would try to give it one more chance since it was Super Bowl Sunday. With my luck it did work. I was going to keep it running while I watched the superbowl because I feared having the same issues as I did before, but I didn't want to loose 4 hours of my trial so I turned it off. But sadly once I turned it on all the connection issues returned not being able to click on anything in the main menu screen. I did delete the game along with all my data stored in the saved files and then reinstalled it. I still wasn't able to get it to work.  However, this was my fix: Note I don't know if this is a permanent fix but so far I am currently playing it one more time.

While the game is still running go to your playstation settings and playstation storage and open up your saved data and delete any files relating to madden 21. The application might restart doing this but when it loads up even if it says connection issues, just persist through those popups. When the main menu appears hopefully you will see a small menu appear on the bottom left that you didn't see the previous times...I think it was related to some sort of difficulty setting. Nontheless it should start up a video that will bring you to a Kansas City and Baltimore Ravens matchup where you are able to play the game. Also if this doesn't work the first time try these steps again since it might work. I am using a PS5 though.  EA hire me as a QA tester 🙂
