In FIFA 23 there are server issues on March 13, 2023. As of now, using the online features is not possible.
Server issues in FIFA 23: If you want to log in to FIFA 23 currently, you will immediately receive the message “Your connection to the EA servers has been interrupted.” You will only be directed to an EA support page.
If you continue, you will see a rather unusual error message named “Mandatory update failed. Please try again later.”
As of now, it is not known that an update needs to be performed by players for FIFA 23.
What does EA say about the server issues?
Update, 20:00: Via Twitter, EA explained that the problems have been resolved and access is again possible:
Update, 15:49: Now EA has commented on the issues. Through the Direct Communication channel on Twitter, it was explained that reports about the server connection issues are being investigated. EA doesn’t say much more for now – only that they will keep us informed as soon as there is any news.
Accordingly, it is still unclear how long the problems will last.
The server outage was not announced, as is often the case with maintenance work. Accordingly, it is currently unclear how long the server issues could persist.
What about the Companion App? As of now, neither the Companion App nor the Web App are affected by the issues. Therefore, it is currently possible to participate in the transfer market or complete SBCs and similar tasks.
For example, you can currently get a crazy card:
What can I currently still play in FIFA 23?
As the online features are affected, you cannot currently log in to Ultimate Team. Accordingly, there are no matches, and also the rebuilding of the team or similar tasks is not possible. For “organizational” tasks, such as transfer market bids or similar, the Web App or the Companion App can be used.
It is also possible to use offline modes. So you can easily jump into a kickoff game against friends or advance your own team in career mode.
