Tips for Players
While EA is working to resolve the issue on their end, there are a few things you can do to fix or troubleshoot the cause of the issue and hopefully get into the game:
- Check Server Status: One of the first things you should do before starting a game is to check the Madden NFL 25 server status. This will help you identify scheduled maintenance and planned downtime and avoid gameplay disruptions.
- Stable Internet Connection: Many times, the cause of disconnects and lag is your internet connection. Ensure that you have fast internet for online games. If you have the option, try switching to another ISP or your mobile hotspot. Third-party software that reduces lag and provides a streamlined server connection is known to help in many cases.
- Play During Off-Peak Hours: Madden NFL 25 is fairly new, and many players are trying to join the game, especially during peak hours and weekends. Try playing at off-peak hours, and the servers may be more stable.
- Report Issues: If nothing is wrong with your internet and the servers are fine, report the issue to EA via the official support channels, and they will get back to you.
