Lineup Glitch with new Jalen Carter

When I try to load into Practice Mode in Ultimate Team, with the new Jalen Carter in my lineup,, powered up to a 99, the game tells me that I need to be signed into EA servers, and quits to the main menu,

When I remove Jalen Carter from my lineup, practice mode works with no problem.  This just started today, after adding him last night, so I tried removing him and everything works fine then.  (As soon as I put him back, the problem persists.)

I am not sure if this problem is specific to him, or is a result of getting my theme team surge chems up another tier by adding him,  With him in my lineup, I am at +7 speed, with Tier 3 Tackle, Tier 3 KO, Tier 2 Passing, and Tier 1 Power.  (Plus a couple tiers for secondary teams,)
