As promised, I am providing an update, and thankfully the news is great! We were advised to clear saved data everywhere, not just locally. The investigator thought that the problem could be "corrupted save data stuck in the Xbox cloud saves," and that clearing data everywhere could get rid of it. We were worried that my son would lose his progress, etc., and we were told that offline/single player progress for the game may be wiped, but any online HUT progress and content would remain because anything HUT related is stored on EA's servers. Since my son hasn't been able to play under his preferred profile for 2 months, we figured there was nothing to lose by trying it.
He was overjoyed when the game launched successfully and was happier still when he determined he hadn't lost anything. His ranking dropped because of not playing under that gamertag, but now that school is over, I'm sure he'll play endlessly and bring it back up. 😉
Hope no one else develops this issue, but if they do, I hope this solution helps them, too. Thanks!
Community ManagerGreat! I'm so glad to hear this! I also really appreciate the update. I'm always hesitant to suggest deleting from everywhere because it can be pretty damaging. It's good to hear this worked though. If you have any other issues, please let us know and tell your son, good luck on the ice 🙂
