I figured out how to work around it. I had this problem for 3 days, but today, I scrolled over to the "Collection" screen and hit the right stick again, and this time it worked. Googling around Newsweek published an article on it:
Yeah it is an annoying issue. I have figured out also that, at least for me, there are still complications.
I often have to log in 3 times for it to work. First, fail to log in on the home screen, then fail to log in in Collection, then the third time works. I literally spend 5 minutes just logging in.
I am experiencing the same issues since the patch, I havent played sonce the 25th of last month. I have tried the solution posted by newsweek.... which worked 1 time for me. I notice that if I scroll to options my ping site is blank and if I change it well there are no locations at all (which would explain why I am unable to connect if my x box can't find the server) Trying to get my system to ping I restore the defaults for the "ea account" options and when I restart my game rather than blank my ping site is listed as "Default 0ms" (which isin't one of ea's ping sites FYI) after that my x box will begin attempting to connect to the ea serveres...... unsucessfuly. I recive consistant error codes "720" "721" and "770" all three of which are given with an unable to connect to ea servers message. I've already hard reset my x box, cleared my alternate mac adress and deleted and reinstalled SWBF2. Anybody have any ideas that I havent tried because sitting and waiting for someone else to fix it takes way to long.
My suggestion would be to try it 3 times, once in the main screen, twice in the collections menu, and hope it doesn't glitch out.
Today the game has been actually glitching out of the error 721 screen, and I have had to quit Battlefront, then gone back in to start the process all over again.
