Press OK and wait a bit till the download is complete. Make sure that neither your internet nor the power to your device is interrupted in between. This could corrupt the download and force you to redo the entire process.
There are a few workarounds as well, stated by 2K Sports, which could prevent and solve the problem of Error Code EFEAB30C.
