Unable to play the physical disc of FC 26

Having previously played the free trial of FC 26, I purchased a physical copy of the game.  This was installed successfully on my Xbox one console.  I noticed that if I did not intert the disc the games home screen icon had it labelled as the trial version, however if I inserted the disc it would load and play fine.

Yesterday I tried to load the game only to be greeted with the following message, and I then cannot progress any further beyond the press A to play screen.  I had recently had an update to the game, so wondered if it could be a glitch in this.

For context I have a game pass ultimate subscription, which include EA Access, and I've only played about 7 hours of the trial.  In fact I removed the disc and was successfully able to continue to play the trial version.

I have uninstalled the game and cleared cache, but still have the same problem upon reinstalling the game.

Anyone else have/had this issue?  Is there a fix I can do or am I at the mercy of EA?

    Just in case anyone stumbled across this with the same issue.  I have been able to get into the game by skipping the connection to EA servers while the game loads.  This was suggested on another thread.  Once your in the main menu you can reconnect to EA servers and continue playing.
