What the heck is going on with the EA Servers?

[ClemTiger]

This is some BS. Every single day for the last few weeks I cannot connect on my first try. And when I do in my OD, I get the error message after playing my games. This has happened to me 3 times afer playing my game. EA needs to fix this crap ASAP. It's beyond fustrating playing an hour long game and because of the crappiness of the EA Servers, the game doesn't save. I also cannot access the OD on the website hardly EVER anymore. I get the 500 error. Anyone else experiencing this???

Yes, all the time lately. Seems I can rarely get the website to even come up. Makes it hard to enjoy the game if you can't play it.

You'll need to provide more info on what's going on.

At what point are you getting the error messages (during game, loading into game, team select, post-game, advancing the week, etc)? What console is this (PS3 or Xbox)? What week of what year are your dynasties in? Is this an OD only issue? Is it 100% of the time, or just most of the time (as in >50%)?

For me, more often than not the last couple weeks, when I attempt to log in to my Online Dynasty via dynasty.easports.com, I put in my username and password, then get this screen on the login attempt:

Error 500:
Sorry, this server is unavailable at the moment. Please try and reload the page in 30 seconds.
Désolé, nous rencontrons actuellement des problèmes techniques.
Wir haben momentan technische Probleme und bitten um Entschuldigung.
We are currently experiencing higher than normal load. We are working to resolve this quickly.

And it stays that way for several hours, so I'm unable to access anything via the web.

All I know today they asked me to activate my online pass when I turned the game on. I have had this game since day 1 of release... So something is definitely wrong with their servers.

I don't suppose you have deleted your game data? That seems to be the most likely cause of this; either way I'd try going into your download history and re-downloading Online Pass.

It happens EVERY time I try to go into my OD. It says to retry. Then after about 5 times, it tells me my gameplay tuning is out of date and I need to redownload it. It never works. I just have to restart the game and sometimes it will connect. If by the Grace of God it does connect, I'm on pins and needles after I've complete the game. It will go to the OD home screen and say its saving but then it pops up a message that it cannot connect and all data will be lost. I'm on PS3 btw. And this is across the board. It's happening everywhere from what I have gathered.

I've been seeing the 500 error on the web servers for the past week or so too. I also have seen the ps3 have some issues connect to their server but it eventually will go.
