Access to online modes in Madden 24, like Ultimate Team, requires a stable internet connection. The servers may become overloaded, resulting in connectivity issues that can hamper your game time.

EA Sports will regularly introduce patches and hotfixes for Madden 24 throughout its life cycle, which may impact the stability of the servers, so it’s always best to keep an eye out for when there could be issues.

There are several ways to determine whether the issue is server-side or something you can fix if you encounter lag, disconnects, and can’t access content in Madden 24.

Check the official EA Sports server status webpage for Madden 24—and you can also see if there are other issues related to platforms like Xbox or PlayStation.

You can also check Down Detector, a website that tracks player reports of outages. If an issue is impacting players, expect to see a large spike on the graph. It won’t tell you the exact reasons for any issues, however.

Madden 24’s online services may be particularly sketchy during periods of high traffic, like the release weekend, but they usually get fixed relatively swiftly, so be sure to keep trying.

If nothing indicates Madden 24 has server issues, check your internet connectivity and settings to see if the problem is at your end. If you’re still having issues, speak to EA’s Help directly.
