PS5 Ultimate Team menus freezing (possible Sky Broadband routing issue)
Hi,
I’m having ongoing issues with Ultimate Team on PS5 in EA Sports FC 26.
Main problems:
- Ultimate Team menus frequently freeze (e.g. “Updating Store”, “Checking Squads”)
- Green loading icon spins indefinitely
- Sometimes get kicked out of Ultimate Team with connection errors
Important details:
- Gameplay is completely fine (around 8 ms ping, no lag in matches)
- Companion App and Web App work perfectly with no issues
- Problem only affects FUT menus on console
- Internet speed is very high (800+ Mbps)
- NAT Type 2
Key observation:
- When I connect my PS5 to a mobile hotspot, Ultimate Team loads instantly and works perfectly
- When I switch back to my home broadband (Sky), the issue returns
What I’ve already tried:
- Reinstalling the game
- Rebuilding PS5 database
- Restarting router (including long power-off)
- Changing DNS settings
- Testing MTU
- Using both Ethernet and Wi-Fi
- Logging out/in of EA account
- Clearing saved data
Conclusion:
This appears to be a routing issue between Sky Broadband and EA servers affecting FUT content (menus/store), while gameplay servers work normally.
Would appreciate any help or confirmation if this is a known issue.
