With no help to EA, it looks like I have found a solution on the PS5 side of things. I noticed ever since I would load into NHL 25 it would absolutely break my Internet connection with my PlayStation. For a week it was frustrating by the end of the week my PlayStation would almost shut down when I loaded up 25. Couldn’t see friends list. Couldn’t see current parties anything After I booted up 25. Would get game configuration error, failed to retrieve data error, etc. I went into my network settings and manually change my DNS numbers to what I searched on google for the generic numbers. #1) 8.8.8.8 #2) 8.8.4.4
And boom, booted right up and I was able to play 5 consecutive games last night and never had a crash, lose connection or anything.
Hope this helps for everyone!
