Is EA going to address this or wait until the whole community gets locks out of their account?
Hey, everyone.
Thank you for reporting this our way, we'll get it sent up to the team immediately.
We'll need to clarify though where this is happening and get some detailed information:
- Where are you getting the puzzle prompt. Auction House or when you go to login to the game?
- Is the game freezing on you from a SPECIFIC PUZZLE? Or is it any puzzle?
- Please provide your Gamertag/PSN ID/Origin ID
- What platform do you play on? (Xbox Series X, S, PS5, etc.)
- What are you doing prior to the puzzle popping up?

Same for me. Freezes upon opening MUT Home Screen. Unable to play since Tuesday. Contacted by 4 different people on online chat forums but still blocked out. I’m sure this can be seen as faulty goods and refunds issued under the sale of goods act if EA unwilling/unable to rectify this issue

Any time frame for a fix for this

Hi, thank you for working on this as it's extremely frustrating as I (and sounds like others) am not even able to play the game.
Gamertag: kt4ever5925
Platform: Xbox series X
First Scenario:
1. Using companion app on my phone which is a Samsung andriod device
2. Placing bids on cards
3. After lets say less than 50 bids back and forth and bids on different players
4. Verification Captcha pops up
5. Fill it out successfully (which btw is a horrible captcha, needs to be update)
6. Able to perform about 10 clicks
7. Verification pops up again
8. After every click
9. Verification pops up
10. Then your locked out saying to contact customer support
My Thought: This is clearly a third-party bug, puzzle says fill out so we know your human, well I am human 🙂 However apparently it doesn't believe me...
Second Scenario:
1. Start up xbox
2. Load Madden...go into MUT (all other modes work with no issues)
3. Play some games
4. Try to make some sets and buy players in the auction house
5. Play a game
6. Boom...verification captcha pops up
7. Try to fill it out but it freezes
8. Restart Game
9. Go back into MUT and get verification puzzle...freezes again as you try to fill it out
I have tried to uninstall the game and reinstall...no luck. I have no issues connecting to the internet
Clearly this points to the third-party verification application
Any other questions please don't hesitate to ask...I want to be able to play the game.
Hopefully, EA compensates us for our frustration and not being able to enjoy a product we paid for.
Thankyou,
Tom

Any puzzle, but it’s always the bird puzzle

The puzzle prompt happens as you try to access mut, you can't get in unless you do the puzzle which always freezes after the third picture.

There was a puzzle that froze on the madden companion app prior to this happening.

I have the same problem. This occurred after I logged into EA Madden 22 main menu screen with my avatar on there. I then go to Madden Ultimate Team MUT. When loading into MUT, the captcha screen pops up. I attempt to solve the captcha verification. After 5 seconds, the Captcha freezes
and I can’t even use left or right to rotate or hit X PS5. It is completely frozen. I have put in a ticket to EA, and also troubleshoot this issue with EA chat, but no success. Reinstall, cleared cache, went to safe mode and restart to factory reset of PS5..This problem is still here again, and won’t go away. Please help. Thank you.
- 4 years ago@Xexekiel I used a vpn to slow my internet down so I could get a 3 picture instead of a 5 picture

@outkast0 thank you so much! I didn’t use a VPN, but after thinking about. It, I used my iPhone to connect the PS5 to the Cellular network. It went from 5 bird to 3 bird puzzle.And it didn’t lock up or freeze. I was able to get in. After that I went to my PS5 settings and put it back to wired/Wi-Fi router where my usual internet is from. Then went back into MUT, and everything is back to normal. Like your VPN work around and my cellular network, I think it has to do with our ISP IP address. When we changed our iP addressed it worked. Thanks!

Did you use the companion app prior to logging in this time around?
From what I'm gathering it seems like there are a lot of mentions of players using the companion app prior to logging in. Were you logged into the app while also trying to log into the game?
If you close down the companion app first, then load up Madden do you still get the prompt?
From the sounds of it, the bird puzzle is causing this so I'm making sure the team gets these details. Can anyone else confirm it's the 5 puzzle bird? A third party is used for these captchas so it's important to capture these details.
We apologize this is being experienced and thank you all for helping out here on the forums. Including each other on working around it.
