Servers are always down.

Ever since I got Madden 20 when it first came out, I have been unable to play it at all. Literally every single time I go on the game I get the same message, “The EA servers are not available at this time, please try again later”. This has been going on for 2 months, and I’m absolutely sick of it.

    Which platform do you play the game on and are you on a wired or WiFi connection? Are you able to connect with a wired connection to see if it might be WiFi related?

    We have some connection troubleshooting steps below that are worth a look. It's disappointing you haven't been able to connect for months, but we should be able to figure out what's causing this from your end.

    A wired connection is where you plug an Ethernet cable directly from your router to the Xbox. I know for a lot of players it might not be possible because of where the console/tv location is and the router being too far away, but if it's possible to move the Xbox to the router just to test and see if it could be WiFi related that helps narrow down the root cause.

  • My routers right outside of my damn room and it’s always down so I know it’s not that.

    Have you rebooted the router though? It could be right next to the console or plugged into it with an Ethernet cable but could still use a restart every once and a while to fix the current sync to our servers. It's not that anything is wrong with your equipment, but establishing a fresh connection can work out any current connectivity errors happening when data is being transmitted back and forth.
