EA Login Issue
Yes! I just posted about this in another thread. I get this message: "We're sorry, but we're having some technical difficulties. Please try again later." Edited to add message.

It's ended now and missed the end
Is there any point in complaining to them - do they ever refund donuts?
Where do I complain to?
Don't complain now - their call centres must be flooded. In the past they've given everyone free donuts when there were long interruptions.
A server outage this big and long is unusual though. With Pokemon Go being DDOS'd, I'm with LPN that maybe EA is being DDOS'd too.
What is DDOS'd? Sorry I dont know all the tech stuff very well
Distributed denial of service. To make a long story short, a lot of computers send requests to EA to start up a communication session, EA allocates resources for that session, but then the other party stops communicating. At some point, EA systems will release the resources after a certain amount of time has passed without any communication, but if the attackers can use up resources faster than it can be freed, the EA servers will eventually cry uncle and crash.
