Server Issues

My game has been freezing (crashing)  within in game menus for the past week. Is anyone else experiencing this? They are freezing for so long I have pictures of l different menus that have frozen invariably ending with the message: " Connecting to Ultimate Team is not possible at the moment. You will now be returned to the Main menu." It's making UT unplayable- and it's the ONLY mode I play.   EA please help!
