Re: Madden Mobile 21 will not load “Service Inaccessible”

I preordered the console game. On mobile I can’t sign in. I get a pop-up that reads: Sorry, but the game is currently inaccessible from your network connection. Please visit answers.ea.com and search for Madden Mobile. 

I’m about to delete the game and remove my account and leave a bad review everywhere I can. And spread the word to all my friends who also play. I don’t understand. Horrible service terrible customer experience

    @Throninghail38 Have you tried restarting your device, rebooting your local network (unplug the modem/router power for 5 minutes), or toggled WiFi on/off?

    I'll help you get in the game and I know it can be frustrating to troubleshoot technical errors like this. Let me know what type of device you're on and what steps you've gone through that I've posted above.

    @EA_Blueberry I realize that for some reason, the game stopped working with my vpn so now i have to disconnect my vpn to be able to play.

    Is that a bug? It was working with my VPN until Thursday at 12 pm but the started giving me an error. If it is a bug, could EA please fix it so that I can play madden mobile without having to turn off my VPN, and then turn it back on every time I stop playing?

    @Bossismylife VPN is not supported. You may be able to play on it, but we cannot guarantee the game will run smoothly.

    I think it’s glitched out because it’s not even showing up in settings.

    @lukepackers06 Have you tried deleting the app and re-installed it? That can fix UI errors.

    As long as you have your game connected to Google/Apple/Facebook you won't lose any progress. If you play on guest mode, deleting the game will erase progress.

    @skunyboy 

    Thanks for reaching out. Have you tried the steps we previously discussed in the thread?

    @skunyboy Are you able to connect on a different device under the same network?

    I get that it's frustrating, strange you're locked out. Have you contacted our Support team so they can pull up your account to see if there is anything account-based that could be causing this?

    Since I normally keep VPN on so it is on when I am not at my home WiFi, I have just stopped playing Madden and only play FIFA mobile on my iPad Air which is on WiFi. It makes no sense that VPN is fine on one of the EA games, and not supported on another. Bad planning EA.

    @Brooklands68 VPN is unfortunately not supported so I cannot guarantee consistent results with connectivity for all of our games. If you're not able to play the game on VPN I recommend disabling it if you're able to connect through your standard ISP network.
