Seems like this is mostly re-occurring for most ea games. Kind of like when a need for speed pop-up or something from another type of game along the lines of racing where you get a double animation and they probably are not even aware of where the actual screen is coming from.
Mostly on launch this started happening as you mostly are experiencing it more than the play-tested requested them even taking out most transactional acquired items out and replacing it with pro skater items.
I'm not as familiar with this instance as most probably are or yourself but managing it would probably be alt-f4 after purchase or (escaping, button wise) and trying to escape the menu as soon a the escape key pulls you from the menu. Not a real solution but it could get you through most of the unimaginable error from the 404 or back end displays.
