FIFA 23: Server Down on March 13th

Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

There are server issues in FIFA 23 on March 13, 2023. It is currently not possible to use the online features.

Server Issues in FIFA 23: If you currently want to log into FIFA 23, you will immediately get the message “Your connection to the EA servers was interrupted”. There you will only be referred to a support page from EA.

If you click further, a rather unusual error message appears called “Mandatory update failed. Please try again later”.

According to the current status, however, it is not known that an update for FIFA 23 would have to be carried out by the players.

What does EA say about the server problems?

Update, 3:49 p.m.: Now EA has reported the problems. The Direct Communications channel on Twitter said it was investigating reports of server connection issues. But EA doesn’t say more about it for the time being – and only confirms that you will be kept up to date as soon as there is something new.

Accordingly, it is still unclear how long the problems will drag on.

The server failure was not announced, as is often the case with maintenance work. Accordingly, it is currently unclear how long the server problems could last.

What about the companion app? According to the current status, neither the companion app nor the web app are affected by the problems. Accordingly, it is currently possible to participate in the transfer market at least there or to solve SBCs and the like.

For example, you can get a crazy card right now:

What else can I currently play in FIFA 23?

Due to the online features being affected, it is currently not possible to log into Ultimate Team. Accordingly, no matches are currently possible, but the team can be rebuilt or something similar. However, the web app or the companion app can be used for “organizational things”, such as transfer market bids or the like.

Furthermore, it is also possible to use offline modes. So you can easily start a kick-off game against friends or bring your own team forward in career mode.
