Last night I received my ethernet chord to provide a wired connection to my ps5.
I started up the game, and it showed a message from ea, Contact Preferences, 'Do you want to receive emails from Ea about promotional material....?'
After that, I was able to connect to online modes. I tried on 3-4 separate occasions to connect before typing this out, to make sure it was still working. It was. I no longer have a problem in connecting online to this game.
I understand you community manager's can only do so much, but I really hope you note down this problem, and what happened after I was able to connect, as others in the future may have this issue if there isn't some sort of change implemented.
When connected wirelessly (240+mpbs) I of course accepted the terms/license agreements as they came up. That message about EA Contacts never came up with a wireless connection, which may have been preventing me from going online. There is obviously something wrong, as the other licenses came up fine.
As I've mentioned many times now, I have standard internet settings/connection, and have never had an issue in any other game. Please mark this down or something, because this will happen to others as well.
