OCE Server Issue Work Around (Potential Temporary Solution)
As many in the OCE server are aware there is an ongoing issue connecting to ultimate team for some people. As no communication from EA has really been provided regarding this issue, I thought I'd post my work around here. The inability to connect is likely being caused due to your internet service provider (ISP).
For this reason I attempted to load ultimate team using a mobile hotspot. Whilst it is not ideal for online gameplay it will allow you into the game (in my experience). You should be able to complete SBCs and squad battles for evos that don't require online games. For those that do, let's just hope you don't need to win as latency will likely be an issue.
Hopefully this solution works for everyone else and that this helps EA find a solution ASAP. If possible it might be beneficial for you to
(1) Thumbs this up if you can connect on mobile hotspot (reply with mobile provider if you can)!
(2) if you are reading this and don't have any issues connecting, list what internet provider your using!
(3) If you can't connect using this work around, list your internet and mobile provider.
Providing this info will hopefully give clarification for EA as to where the problem is and promotes solutions to the community, something that has been lacking over the past 72 hours....
Internet provider: Telstra/NBN
Mobile provider: Optus
Hope this helps! :)
