EA FC 25 PlayStation network error – Possible cause and fix

EA FC 25 players on the PlayStation consoles have been locked out of their games for over an hour now, which has caused many issues for those looking to enjoy the online modes.

Unfortunately, the latest issue isn’t at the end of EA’s servers, as was the case a few days back. Instead, the latest error seems to be a byproduct of PlayStation’s failure to remain online. It’s unclear when the problem might get fixed, but here are some steps you could try to ensure that there are no problems at your end.

EA FC 25 PlayStation network error explained

The latest error seems to have been caused by a wrong configuration, and there have been occurrences in the past. Thanks to the error, the online service for many video games remains unavailable as of this writing. With EA FC 25, you can still play the offline modes like Career mode. Unfortunately, all online content, including Ultimate Team, remains out of order. If you attempt to sign in and play, you’ll get an “Unable to connect” error message.

There’s not much you can do apart from wait. When EA’s servers go down, it’s either due to routine maintenance or when the player count exceeds normal capacity. This time, the issue is entirely different, so you’re not seeing a queue to enter Ultimate Team mode.

Complete the following steps to ensure that you can jump right back in once the servers are back online on your PlayStation.

• Have an active PlayStation Plus membership, which is essential for online matchmaking.
• Try to use a wired connection to prevent and reduce packet loss chances.
• Ensure that your PlayStation is updated to the latest firmware available.

If you tick all these checkboxes, the only other solution for now is to wait. Or, you can give the Manager Career a spin. With all the recent changes made by EA Sports, the mode feels fun on higher in-game difficulties.
