Downdetector suggested that the most common issues reported by users were to do with server connection, login and gameplay.
73% of the reported problems stemmed from server connection while 23% and 3% came from login and gameplay respectively.
Users complained of problems with one user saying: “Got kicked during 3rd game of draft” while another added: “any1 else kicked out of fut 23 and told scan QR code but when u do it says 502 bad gateway. WTF???”
Another chimed in with: “Is anybody struggling to play rivals ?” before other users agreed with one saying: “Yep, same here” and another adding: “I’m getting the same.”
