So im trying to launch the game and help on the community challenge but the game keeps telling me this ..
" unable to connect to EA servers at this time , please check your network connection and try again later '
my internet is good and i tried everything , cable , wireless , turn off my PS4 and restarting and still the same thing wont launch ..
on the website here it looks like the servers are down ..
is this true , if so please fix it its only 4 day challenge ..
The problem is on the PS. If you go to the PSN forum, you'll notice that a lot of people have submit threads that they can't connect to the PSN network.
EA Staff (Retired)Hey @agentevil007 @Cyber_Emotions1
This issue should be resolved now. Could you check again and make sure you can log in and play as normal?
Thanks,

Yes, everything is back to normal.
I would wager that this is due to a major cyberattack against the internet directory 'Dyn Managed DNS' which is knocking dozens of popular websites and services offline today, with outages continuing on and off throughout the afternoon.
So far sites such as Twitter, SoundCloud, Spotify, Shopify, Etsy, Reddit, and a bunch of other websites have been inaccessible for chunks of time to many users pretty much all day
The outages are the result of a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on the DNS provider Dyn. The company confirmed that as part of it's transparency policies and has a running update on the situation at https://www.dynstatus.com/incidents/nlr4yrr162t8
Dyn and other DNS providers operate as a link between the URLs you type into your browser and the corresponding IP addresses of where you re trying to contact. By attacking Dyn, it’s possible to overwhelm that directory function and cause outages and loading problems across a large portion of the internet.
So far it seems that most of the impact has been felt by users in the United States and since the company is actively trying to mitigate the issue the connectivity problems are coming and going and there's no telling how long it'll be lasting
