Since its release on August 19, 2022, Madden 23 has been marred by several bugs and technical issues. While most of these bugs have been addressed with updates, a few remain a major source of player frustration.

One such bug is the infamous "white screen error," which is usually preceded by an error code. Gamers cannot resolve this issue despite reinstalling or restarting the console. While this bug has only been identified on PlayStation 5, it may pop up on other platforms.

This article will elucidate on relevant fixes for this issue.

Troubleshooting the white screen error in Madden 23

Gamers have noted that restarting their consoles, reinstalling the game, or even resetting their internet connection has no effect on the bug. Fortunately, user Overclocked_Koa from the EA Technical Issues Forum has shared a relatively simple solution, which is detailed below:

  • Sign in to your EA account using your PlayStation 5 account through a browser on your mobile device or PC.
  • Doing so will generate a window with a set of terms and conditions.
  • Simply click on the Agree option to acknowledge the terms.
  • After this step, you can log in to your game on the console and resume playing.

These simple steps should solve this issue for PlayStation 5 owners of Madden 23. However, if the issue still persists, file a support ticket to the EA Support Team.

Additionally, no patch or bug fix for the problem has been released yet, with Electronic Arts not having acknowledged it as of writing this article.
