First Steps
The first thing to try is simply restarting your console. Sometimes, a quick reboot can resolve temporary glitches or connection issues, allowing you to access the game without encountering errors. So whether you are facing this issue on your PS or Xbox, start with a simple reboot.
Cancel and reorder
One workaround that has worked for some players involves canceling their pre-order for the MVP Bundle which includes the early Madden release. By going to Xbox support, canceling that pre-order, and then purchasing the MVP Bundle specifically for the early NCAA release, players have been able to access the game without encountering the “You’re too early” error.
PS5 fix
For PS5 players experiencing lockouts, a potential fix is to go to Settings, then Users and Accounts, select Other, and choose Restore Licenses. After restoring the licenses, restart your console. This method has worked for some players to regain access to the game.
Internet and Server Status
Another workaround is to check your internet connection and the game’s server status. Make sure your internet is working properly and visit the game’s official website or social media channels to confirm if the servers are up and running. Sometimes connectivity issues or server maintenance can cause access problems, so do give this workaround a try.
Keep checking for updates
Lastly, keep checking the game for updates. With the developers working on a fix, there might be updates dropping soon or perhaps even pending. So, make sure your game is up-to-date. Regularly check for any available updates and install them so that you have the latest fixes and improvements.
And for now, those are the workarounds that you can try. We hope this guide was helpful. For more gaming reads like this, keep visiting DigiStatement. Read more: How to kick in College Football 25?
