Cannot play ranked Draft Champions

Product: Madden 17
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Summarize your bug I drafted a team in ranked Draft Champions, but there were only 13 rounds of players when there is supposed to be 15. Now, when I enter ranked Draft Champions in Madden 17 on the Xbox 1, I am met with an error message that reads "The EA servers are not available at this time. please try again later." My friends can successfully play ranked draft champions, but I am unable to enter the mode. This only occurs with my "Little Hasman" xbox live account. My brother's account can successfully enter the mode on my xbox.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Draft a ranked draft champions team when there are only 13 rounds, then the game will kick you back to the main Madden 17 screen at the conclusion of the draft.
What happens when the bug occurs? I am sent back to the main Madden 17 menu.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to play ranked draft champions.
If your game crashed, about how many minutes were you playing before it crashed?
What is your gamertag/PSN ID? Little Hasman
Date/time issue occurred 10/18/16 at 1:30 pm
Did this issue happen in Connected Franchise Mode? No

    i was in a middle of a game in the connection was awful the ea servers were very bad. but when i tested my connection it said it was fine. ea can you give us a solution so this doesn't happen. or tell us that the servers were down yesterday 

  • I created a ranked draft roster and at the end of selecting all my players it kicked me out with an error message saying "EA servers have been lost" and every time i try to go back onto it, I get kicked out with the same message and cant get to the next screen. I am not disconnecting from EA servers at all. I have paid the 3 tickets to compete yet I am unable to.

    I have the same problem they need to fix this asap. Cause draft champs only mode I play.
  • Just a heads up for anyone that has this issue. I had to have EA escalate this to the actual programming engineers of the game. After a few days, they were able to unlock my ranked draft champs menu and I can play it now. 

    TL,DR call EA. You're not fixing this yourself.
