i play on ps5
it won’t let me pick any game modes and pops up saying connection issues at the start I click through. Can my hours be reset please? This isn’t fair
i last attempted 10:55pm UK time
I'm having the same issue on both my PS5 and Series X, in that I am unable to play the 10 hour trial on either system. The same exact malfunction is happening on both - I open the game, if and when the game loads completely (most of the time it get stuck at about 80%) a message pops up saying EA servers are not available and all of the buttons on the home screen are unusable (I can click on them but nothing happens, even on the offline choices like exhibition). I've deleted and re-installed the game on both systems and continue to have the same issues.
Any suggestions on how to rectify this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

ive tried logging in daily since last week. Ea help Twitter first sent me to Sony. Sony sent me back to EA help. Sunday evening, EA help said a tech ticket was created. 2 days later and still no update from anyone. 1 hour trial time and countless personal hours spent trying to resolve this. I’ll literally spend more time this month trying to play than actually gaming. How sad is that?
As a shareholder and consumer I question the mentality / culture EA has around customer service. Being an EA play or EA access etc member in my mind, shows that the individual truly is loyal to EA. What do we get in return? Absolutely nothing. This is a known bug which has been affecting a considerable amount of players (based on the amount who actually went to the extent to come to this forum I can imagine there are hundreds). This bug is only related to the trial version of Madden 21 and only affecting a key core group of loyal consumers.
Wouldn’t a great solution, considering this game is headed to the vault, to just give the affected players the full game unlimited play? Instead of wasting the customer support and tech support lines to fix a minor bug and wasting the consumers time spent not playing or trying to troubleshoot, you just send them a code for madden 21. By waiting until this point, most have proven that they’re going to wait for the vault anyways. Additionally, they will have access to play MUT and EA can start cashing in on the micro transactions. Seems like a great resolution to me!
But no, instead we are sitting here without a resolution, without the ability to play the trial madden 21 (which we purchased through our membership), and with the feeling that once again EA has proven that they don’t care about consumer, only the money.

@EA_Blueberry does this make you proud of your work that you've let this issue to go unfixed for 3 months? Look at all of these comments. If you can't be proud of your work, what can you be proud of? This is simply disrespectful to your customers at this point

Totally agree with what was said above^. The game is probably coming to the vault anyway in a matter of weeks, so how much money is EA actually losing by giving affected players a free copy? If anything, EA would make more money if all these affected players had the game and could now spend $$$ on MUT packs and stuff.

Sadly, EA don't care. The EA representatives on these forums, such as EA_Blueberry, aren't here to help the community, or get issues resolved. They're here to give the appearance that EA care and that they will resolve issues.

Cant get passed the loading screen because of this message. My account is definitely not restricted because I play FIFA 21 and NFS Heat online all the time. I have EA play on Steam and have used 2 hours of my trial because I tried to load into the game every couple of days since January 15th. No luck, I have yet to get passed the loading screen (Haven't even seen the main menu).
@EA_Blueberry any update from the devs regarding this? I see that February title update didn't work, but I would be happy to hear any new info.
I was planning to spend SO MUCH money on MUT packs, but now I cant ☹️

The game still does not work. No answer here. EA help on Twitter has not got back to be in over a day now. This is brutal.
