Skate 3 Online Down on PS3

Hey,

Server seems to be down since September 22nd on PS3. When I try to connect, it either :

• Connects but is unable to load anything. Home page, team page and create page all hang on a loading screen (only way to bypass is to quit the game). Only matchmaking seems to be up in this case.
• Hangs on "Authenticating user" then says that the server is unavailable. In this state, controls become unresponsive after pressing X, only way to gain back control is to quit the game.
• Does not connect at all and gives a message saying that the EA server is currently unavailable.

The connection to the server seems to be very intermittent. Am I the only one to experience these issues or is there a global outage?

Thank you in advance.
