Still problems for Electronic Arts servers: Fifa 20, Apex Legends and other video games of the American publisher are not reachable online. It is not a problem of your consoles or your online accounts, but the Electronic Arts servers are down. For a couple of days now, the American software house has been plagued by several inefficiencies that are causing more than one problem to players.
The weekend is the favorite period for fans to enjoy their games, but since this morning at 8:00 am (March 1, 2020), Electronic Arts servers are not reachable.

A problem especially for fans of Fifa 20 that during the weekend face the Weekend League to accumulate points and packages to improve their Fifa Ultimate Team team. Electronic Arts is already working to solve the problem and in the next few hours everything should be back to normal.
Why you can not play online Fifa 20 and Apex Legends
