Solo Battles: Connection Issues with EA Servers

Twice in a row I have been given immediate DNFs because the game is losing connection to the EA servers.  Both times it has happened during the opening kickoff.  In both instances I have been able to immediately reconnect to the servers.  I can go play H2H matches, browse the Auctions, play my online franchise... all without issue.  However, both of my Solo Battles I tried tonight (last two I needed to finish before opponent refresh) have given me this issue.  This is going to deal a big hit to my weekly rewards, and I suspect I can't be the only person to experience the issue.

    Mine just goes back to the home screen every time i do a solo battle at kick off . Thin a get a dnf on that game it has happend 5 times so 5 losses  so no coins this week . 

  • Unfortunately, I’ve been getting this too ever since the title update. Completely unfair to penalize us by giving us dnf. Should have the option like in franchise where it’ll auto save where we were at the time of disconnecting

    Of my last 10 games, 9 of them have given me the * "lost connection to ea servers" message. and its ALWAYS late in the third or late in the 4th. you know, after ive committed an hour or so of my time to end with absolutely nothing to show for it.. 

    it happens in solo battles. it happens in * solo challenges.. it happens everywhere. 

    except it doesnt happen in franchise mode. because logic.

    ive tried restarting. ive tried reinstalling. ive even reinstalled origin. it feels really * to spend $60 on a game, love it and get really into it, and then suddenly have it become unplayable.

    also, firewalls/anti virus are off. (im pc)

    also also, the second it boots me back to the home screen i can immediately reconnect to the servers instantly. 

    none of this would even be an issue if ea had mut set up like franchise mode where a disconnect just lets you pick back up where you left off in your match.

    Absolutely agree with the previous poster, I don't play H2H, just solo battles.  I've now lost 2 games (both in the second half with me up 4 TDs).  The first time it looks like it reset my router because my internet did really drop (after not having dropped for months and months playing MMOs).  This time, it disconnected from the server and my net never dropped, was still in discord.  Why doesn't the game save your progress when you are going against the CPU?  Totally understand why it counts as a loss in H2H because of the people who try to DC glitch against humans, but losing those 2 games has infuriated me.  This will prohibit me from getting the reward level I was looking for.

    I love having Madden back on the PC, but this needs to be rectified.

  • I understand things happen in the game, but give me a chance to play my game. Don’t just give me a dnf for something that’s not my fault. 

  • Hi guys. I'm from France and I have exactly the same problem each week !!!

    Or at the beginning of the game or in the Last 2mn!!!!

  • So far one solo battle every week for me I get signed out of the server and signed right back in and get a dnf. Fix your broken game please

  • Mine does the same for solo battles but in other game modes it just completely shuts my series x down. Madden is the only xs game I have that does it and none of their troubleshooting problems work because it’s not an Xbox issue it’s EA’s problems.
