More and more, I'm getting opponents in H2H who either:
1) Pause the game right after it starts; or
2) Pause the game right after something bad happened to them
And the game pauses for FAR longer than :30. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a trick to get back to the game after waiting more than 30 seconds?
I just had a game where I got to within field goal range down by a point with :05 left in the game, and the game was paused for over 5 minutes. Any solutions??
Happened to me multiple times and they didn't continue playing for about 15min.
I quit - don't know how to continue either.

Depends on the game mode, but certain stuff has basically NO ability to get out of there once the opponent has decided to try and glitch the game out, can be infinite penalties or simply pausing the game for longer than intended.
I'd love to hear of any potential work-arounds, as i'm not aware of any. This is an old problem, definitely been happening to me on PS5 for a couple cycles, i guess MUT24 was when i first noticed it, but i doubt it was a new or novel bug at that point.
It can take upwards of ~45 minutes before the game will finally time out and in my experiences, it almost always gives the Win to the opponent. I've had this happen a dozen times, or more, although much of it was during the PlayStation Tournament play, which is allegedly a Sony problem, EA needs to be able to communicate to implement a fix, which they cannot or will not, for whatever reason. 😡😡😡 Uff.
I tend to give them a few seconds and then concede. My time is way more important than the game...even if they are just pausing to check my lineup...I'll still concede after about 15 seconds or so.
People shouldn't play if they have to keep pausing the game. It's disrespectful to other people and you waste their time.
Pausing resets the defensive 15 countdown. I'll pause when I almost have my Def setup but always try to immediately resume the game. But although it does seem to help turn the tides. Probably just a placebo effect, but if I have a few too many dropped picks or passes. I'll pause the game and resume and it's almost as if the madden bs is just gone. My players can catch again.
