Hey everyone, This is a known issue that we are currently working on solving, no ETA currently. The following workaround has been reported to work for various players and for us. Try the following troubleshooting: Launch the game, the game will be in offline mode Press the right stick to reconnect online. The game might be frozen for a bit, but the loading symbol will still move. Wait until the game becomes responsive again. The game might display error 721. Discard the message. Press the right stick again, the game should now connect online. OR This was suggested by: @DYSPROssium Start up the game Scroll to the right until you’re at “collection” then try to connect. Might take 2 tries to work You can play online again I will keep this topic updated for any news surrounding this issue. Thank you for your patience. /Atic

At least I'm not the only one...

The work arounds aren't working for me either. REALLY annoying. When will this be fixed?

Just to add, I read some posts on Reddit that sometimes playing 1 arcade match would work as well.
But most workarounds are combinations of waiting, switching menu screens and pressing connect. So be sure to try any combination to see what works for you.

I am happy you could get online @SteelCurtain3283 !
Btw, they are planning to release a hotfix next week which probably fixes this annoying connection issue! More about the hotfix here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/Hotfix-Coming-Next-Week/m-p/7064963#M7376
