Xbox/Ea games file corrupted. "Sorry slugger..."
O.k. so tried the game via Xbox game pass and cloud play and liked it some downloaded the game. Started a season locally, and game crashed while saving between innings maybe in the 6th game. After over an hour quit and when tried to launch the following day, game opens with a "saving, do not turn off console" message, the says sorry slugger your saved data can't be loaded with the option to try again. Will loop like this indefinitely.
I go into the game management, delete all my saved games and cached data, relaunch, same result. Removing the game completely and reinstalling yields the same results.
The TWIST, if I remove the game and go back to cloud play, I can launch a game, play an elimination tournament for example (and win 😉 ) have it all save, get a prompt to install for best performance and accept. When I reinstall, same error on loading of the Xbox profile.
I've looked all over the Xbox preferences, ea games literature and account info but there is no way I can find to "reset" my corrupted gamertag associated save so that I can launch the game locally.
Any ideas or solutions?
Hi @JRedlionJr
To confirm the Xbox cloud version works, however, the Xbox console version gives the error message. Are you using the same account in both settings or a different account on the console?
Also when you have a moment can we try the following steps?
- Quit the game and other running apps from Quick Resume (For Series X|S consoles)
- Remove any connected device, or additional USB's from the console then restart the Xbox and check
- Check for updates
- Try the steps in our Connection and Advance Connection Guides
- Open you're Xbox NAT Type
- Change DNS settings (You can use the public google DNS primary: 8.8.8.8, secondary: 8.8.4.4, unless there is a different DNS you would rather use)
- Persistent Storage
- Go to settings > Select Device & Connections > Then Blue-Ray
- Select Persistent Storage > Clear Persistent Storage
- Alternate Mac:
- Go to settings > Select General > Then Network settings
- Go to advanced settings > Alternate Mac address > Select clear
- Select restart
