"unable to connect to the EA servers at this time. Please check your network connection or try again later" I have been receiving this message for the past 2-3 months. I only have one EA title and it is UFC 2. I have been able to download all the patches, I tried clearing all UFC data, still the same issue. It is not the ports, I have opened all PS4 and EA ports including UFC specific ones. My PSN Id is rc.34- Please help?

Had same issue, unable to connect to EA servers. Turned out to be the date and time on my console was set in manual to the Wrong Date and Time. Changed the clock settings to automatic internet settings and voila it connected. This is because the date and time doesn't fall into the time frame of the EA servers security certificate date and will not let you connect (its a website security thing).

Thank you for that detailed explanation. I've marked your post as a solution.

Try switching between Wi-Fi and a wired connection.

Are you on a restricted network such as University/Corporate/Military?

Please see the following articles for connectivity info and troubleshooting:

I'm getting the same error message. It only happens with star wars battlefront 2 (worst purchase ever, by the way) no other ea games do that.
