Question on PS5/PS4 preorder content
EA just announced you’ll be getting it on both gens
That sucks my guy but people were warned about this that is why i made sure to only download the 50 gigs version on Xbox to ensure I am playing on the Xbox X/S.
hey they updated the icons today and they now have s and x in them
so clearly they knew it was a mistake
I DID download the PS5 version first. I did it two days before launch. I logged in and played for an hour on the PS5 version and my content was not there. I logged out and went over to my game library and clicked PS5, then version, PS5 was downloaded, PS4 was NOT DOWNLOADED, I then downloaded it just to see what would happen. When I logged in none of the prior hours progress was there (I realize the don't cross over) but all the pre order stuff was there. This is not a situation where I downloaded the PS4 version first. I have been playing PS5 for two years on previous Maddens and on MLB the show. I know how to make sure what version is downloaded.
The first 4 hours of the launch were a mess, people were not getting their preorder content. I waited out and logged in around 9 pm west coast time. I got my preorder content on my Xbox S.
Why in the world would you download and try the PS4 version “just to see what would happen”? FAFO 😭
Because I was 100% confident that I had already downloaded and played the PS5 version. Didn't think downloading the PS4 verstion after already downloading the PS5 version and playing on it would matter and I wanted to see if the pre order content would be there and sure enough it was. Why are you acting like this is all okay? I should have just gotten what I payed for. I shouldn't have to play detective. Regardless I did exactly what I was supposed to do, shouldn't matter that I downloaded PS4 version after playing on PS5 right? What is your point?
I absolutly did not download the PS4 version first. I had the PS5 version dowloaded two days ago. I played the PS5 version for an hour before downloading the PS4 version. I had packs from for loyalty and EA play under the PS5 version when I logged in. Didn't understand why my preorder content wasn't there. Went over to version and PS4 was not downloaded so I downloaded it. Logged in on PS4 and none of my progress was there since they don't cross over but all the pre order stuff was available there. Nothing else I could have done.
How do you make sure it’s the PS5 version you’re downloading and not the ps4? Is it clearly marked?
on Xbox the Xbox X/S is 50 gigs and the Xbox one version old gen is 36 gigs.
I didn't download PS4 version, still waiting to show on PS5.
Why did you download PS4 version?
There were multiple threads warning people about doing this, but I’m not surprised we are getting questions. It’s because you fired up the PS4 version first, so your content is all there. RIP if you did Rookie Premiers.

Ppl were going on ps4 because they thought they would get in during the server crisis lol. Sucks, but they were warned like you said
Not true. I didn’t even download PS4 version. I didn’t get my preorder bonuses after playing 4 levels. I downloaded PS4 version and my 4600 points were there. I think it’s an issue a lot of people are having
Same thing happened to me. Been playing on PS5 for two years, I'm very familiar with making sure how to download the right version. I had PS5 version downloaded first, logged in and played, PS4 verstion wasn't downloaded when I was playing. I only downloaded the PS4 version because I wanted to see what would happen, I had none of my progress but all the preorder stuff was there when I logged into PS4.
Exactly. When we couldn’t get into PS5 version for hours, someone said PS4 version was working. Thats when l downloaded it. Had already been playing PS5 version In between outages. I think l was on like level 4 and still hadn’t received my preorder bonuses

So you didn’t see your preorder content show up on the PS5 and you went ahead and fired up the PS4 version? Yikes. I mean, it’s an issue that PS5 content isn’t dropping, but you only get preorder content in one version and you picked the PS4.
I didn't have my preorder content on PS5, so I went ahead and downloaded the PS4 version as well and all the pre order content is linked to the PS4 version and the two don't cross over this year. Why is it linked to PS4 and not PS5?
