Mobile hot spots are not advised for today's connectivity requirements for online console gaming. With the packet loss and high ping times you were receiving in the report this is unfortunately something we will not be able to fix as the results indicated it's a local network problem, I'm sorry.
You may want to check the wiring for your cables and router for any damage that could be contributing to the significant packet loss. If you're able to purchase a gaming router and return it to the store for a full refund in the event it doesn't improve your connection, that's worth a try. If you intend to play our games in a competitive mindset and are on WiFi, going with a router that can boost your speed is ideal. You mentioned you're playing 3 stories up, I'm guessing there is a lot of objects the WiFi signal has to travel through to get to your console. Microwaves, steel, walls, people walking in front of the signals path, and a whole lot of other random factors can play a part in WiFi strength.
Doesn’t work while connected to my
Hot spot as another games still work. It doesn’t make sense that it’s my local wifi if the hot spot doesn’t work either.

I have also been having this same issue on XBOX one. i can't get on with my account, the other accounts work just fine for Madden 21, but not mine. Mine also works for all other EA games including past Madden games.
Is problem started for me last Friday, 2/5/21. 6 help sessions of all the same thing with nothing working, even called my ISP to check the connections and everything works except for my gamertag access to EA servers on Madden 21.

@litebeerbuzzSo my issue started January 11th, it was fixed for me on February 5 after a server maintenance which is weird because that’s when it started for you. And 4 days later on February 9th I continued to get the same error message and not able to log into EA servers. So I’ve had only 3.5 days to play series 4 in MUT. EA has identified this problem is coming from the back end of EA accounts having multiple gamertags connected with the same EA account. In my case I have my children’s gamertags connected and that is the cause. I assume this will take another month for them to fix, I have lost all hope for EA to fix this in a timely manner. @EA_Blueberry

I hope they fix it.
Is it possible to cut the connections and do each account separately? - 5 years ago@itssixk Yes I did speak to an EA help representative and he was able to remove gamertags from my EA account but only did one account that was not being used anymore. And yes he could remove my children’s accounts but they would loose all their progress in every single EA game and that’s just not worth it. Also I’ve learned the quality of help and knowledge depends on which employee you get in contact with. Most the the EA help people just send you the same list of troubleshooting things I’ve tried 30 times and just a few others have gone above and beyond by reaching out to other employees and investigating this issue. So in the 30 days I have been unable to log I got his game and have been in touch with EA personnel everyday, only 3-4 EA employees have actually helped and given good information on this issue. And in my experience the “EA specialist support team” has been absolutely terrible. They don’t respond to messages and all they do is post the same list of troubleshooting things. Who would have thought a multi billion dollar company would not care about an issue that only affects a handful of players.
