    It was doing the same thing for me in NCAA. Then I tried to play Battlefield BC and got the same issue. But, EVERY other non EA game worked. So clearly it's an EA thing. FRUSTRATING!!! Is making me think twice about buying Fight Night (which I really love) so EA realllllllly needs to get the server issue taken care of.

    Same thing here. No problems for years. Now I cant log into any EA game for 3 days straight. Very Frustrating since I am in a Madden 09 league.

    Same exact problem and I tried this and didn't do anything different. I can't play EA online very often as of late.

    We have an xbox1 and have a 12 month live gold membership. We are unable to use the ultimate team etc on fifa14. Having had no problems previously, 3 weeks ago when trying to go on ultimate team - the message seemed to suggest that we were NOT live gold members and it says "you must be signed in to xbox live and the ea servers in order to access the online features of this title. when we then press ok the next screen says -connecting to EA servers -then- sign into ea servers -then- we are unable to connect to eas servers try again later. We have spent hours and hours on this, please help.

Cant connect to the ea server

Ah you know, ea servers make you get your own account on line through them before you can play anything. Sucks, yeah, but no way around it. Hope that helps!

Ea server

If you have an Xbox live "Silver" account all you can do is talk to your friends, it will not allow you to play games with them. If you have a "Gold" account it will allow you to do both and download content etc. It will tell you what type of account you have in "my xbox" under your avatar. This could be your problem. The other problem could be that this is the busiest weekend of the year for Madden due to the Super Bowl. I think the problem is going to be your subscription status being silver instead of gold.

to sign in to ea servers you have to be 13. I am 14 but i used my sister's e-mail and it thinks i'm like 12. it really annoys me, why do they make it so you have to be 13 anyway i don't know. It might not be your age i don't know but that's what happened with me.

Playing madden 09 online

If it says ea servers not available that means the servers are down for maintenance, this is not unusual for video game servers, happens once or twice a month....

Also keep in mind playstation servers and xbox server are totally different.
