Madden 16 for Xbox one won't connect to ea servers

Just my two cents for people that haven't tried it, I set my firewall to open/forward ports using "UDP only" range 53-3074 with home port set to 53 and rebooted my Xbox One then it immediately started downloading and updating everything. Like everyone else I have been down for over 2 weeks until doing this. Hope it helps some.... good luck! FYI I'm using ATT U-Verse and changed the setting on the cable modem router, not my external router connected to it.
