M21 failing to start

Completely and totally worthless. Validated files, reinstalled, couple of times, still failing to start. Reports of timing out. Tried submitting feedback on https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/?product=madden-nfl-21, also responding with "This page has timed out. Please refresh and try again." I guess this is par for the course when your infrastructure is hosted on the cloud in territorial CH-CH-CHINA.

Continues to be an issue... EA zero help. Uninstalling for good. Adios, Madden. :o(

Just started having issues with Madden 21. On startup i get an error message a few times saying that my "currency balance cannot be found" or something along those lines. In addition there are times I play a game and at the end it doesnt save it and all game data is lost as if it never happened? I have uninstalled and re-installed and still the same issue as well as cleaning out my Dell G15 gaming laptop of cookies and all that. . Any ideas what the issue is?

Same. From port 3216 errors, not even close to Steam, from desktop EA 'sign on'. To in game, failing to connect to EA servers after a match, to numerous 'currency' errors. Worthless, utterly worthless.

Best guess, EA Sports is trying desperately to obsolete M21 and pulling the plug on 'strategic' backend servers.

So the other Madden games are working fine with no issues?

No idea; I do not sub to the other games. Nor would I at this rate.

Mine starts and I can play it but the servers are down and I am experiencing massive bugs. I think they shut down servers to save money and encourage you to buy the latest madden and its causing a buggy mess, which they wont patch because new madden every year.
