Re: madden 23 - Must be signed in to access online features

Hey Everyone, 

I wanted to jump in real quick, for anyone getting the error message "In order to access online features for this title your account on (Playstations or Xbox) Network must be signed in and you must be signed into EA servers" Try the following based on your platform and if this continues let us know the following...

Xbox:

Spoiler
  • Quit the game and other running apps from Quick Resume (For Series X|S consoles)
  • Remove any connected device, or additional USB's from the console then restart the Xbox and check
  • If you are on an insider build of Xbox on any accounts on the console, return to the latest stable build, then load back to the profile you want to use and check. 
  • Verify you should have permission to access online features with your console. (no actions, have an online sub, etc)
  • Try the steps in our Connection and Advance Connection Guides 
  • Open you're Xbox NAT Type
  • Change DNS settings (You can use the public google DNS primary: 8.8.8.8, secondary: 8.8.4.4, unless there is a different DNS you would rather use)  
  • Persistent Storage 
    • Go to settings > Select Device & Connections > Then Blue-Ray 
    • Select Persistent Storage > Clear Persistent Storage 
  • Alternate Mac:

    • Select restart 

Playstation:

Spoiler
  • Clear the systems cache (Close the game completely > Turn off the console > Wait 30-60 seconds > Restart and Relaunch)

  • I have had this problem forever and the only thing that has consistently worked for me is on the main menu just going over to ultimate team and constantly clicking A until it connects. When you click A there are messages that will come up but clicking A will close them. It could take up to a minute of spamming the A button but this has worked every time for me.

  • @EA_Illium Have done all these steps and still nothing.

    @hammerofjustyce go over to ultimate team and just click A over and over. Error messages will come up but clicking A will close out of those. You could have to do it for up to 2 minutes but it has worked every time for me
