    Having problems trying to connect to the EA servers to play online games. Its strange... Any time I try to do anything online it says that I need to connect to XBOX Live and to the EA servers. I'm on XBOX live but cannot connect to the EA servers for some reason... has been happening for the last few nights... Anyone any ideas?

    Any time I lose connection with an opponent (ie: he didn't turn off his 360 or quit), and i go looking for a new game, it always saying I'm connecting to the EA servers.

    I think this is a little dodgy how it can just happen like that in a lag free game. I've got 10mb magnet, so I know its not my internet speed and everything keeps working away fine on the pc when this happens....

    Strange alright, doesn't happen very often, but I just hope it doesnt happen during any league or ranked matches. I've like 7 loses on ranked matches so far, and 3 of them, this has happened!

    Ah, only time I haven't been able to connect to the EA servers has been when they are down completely and nobody can connect to them.

    Strange problem to have.

    I couldn't play online 2 nights ago, said I couldn't connect to the servers...lasted about 2 hours and when I did eventually connect, a Adidas league update went through. It was weird because everyone else seemed to be able to play!

    It's happened to me twice, lost connection on a league game yet I was still on xbox live. Problem with EA I think.

    Could be a router problem...Is your settings restricted moderate or open??

    Test your settings and if its restricted or moderate you might be having port problems with the EA server.

    I think its something to do with the EA Servers. Over the xmas season everyones of work,college,school etc and the servers cant cope with the amount of people online. It will be all back to normal in a week or so.
