Madden 27 Causing PS5 to Completely Crash/Lock Up?

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue with Madden 27 on PS5.

So far, I've had my PS5 completely crash/lock up three separate times while playing Madden 27. When it happens, the console makes a loud noise and becomes completely unresponsive.

All three times, I've been unable to shut down or restart the PS5 normally. I've actually had to unplug the PS5 from power and plug it back in before I could get the console to restart.

The strange part is that there doesn't seem to be one specific thing in Madden triggering it. It's happened at completely different points:

Once during a Franchise game

Once while in the menus

Once during a loading screen

So, it doesn't appear to be tied specifically to gameplay.

I've played other games on the PS5 and haven't experienced this issue, so right now it seems to be happening specifically with Madden 27.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

I'm especially curious if anyone has had Madden 27 cause their PS5 to completely freeze/lock up and make a loud noise, requiring the console to actually be unplugged to get it working again.

If you've had this happen, were you able to figure out what was causing it or find a fix?
