Gamers waiting to try out FIFA 12 Ultimate Team have found that their wait has been extended by maintenance.
The Ultimate Team portion of FIFA 12 was scheduled to be opening at 5PM in the UK but is currently down do to “a high load of traffic”. The message that the EA webpage currently has is:
EA SPORTS Football is currently down for Maintenance
This website is unavailable at the moment as we are performing maintenance. The site will be back soon.
FIFA 12 will be released on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on September 30th.

dave
September 20, 2011 at 1:09 PMlol they didnt prepare the site very well considering its one of the most popular game modes in a sports game at the moment. they should have expected high traffic which means they should have had the right website settings in place. a very dissapointing 1/10 rating for ea i think.
Rob
September 20, 2011 at 1:47 PMTo be fair there’s noway they could have predicted high traffic!!
dave
September 20, 2011 at 2:05 PMwell it seems to be back up at a very slow speed.. still cause of hight traffic of course
dave
September 20, 2011 at 2:06 PMForbidden

dave
September 20, 2011 at 2:12 PMrob how couldnt they predict hight traffic? many many people have been waiting for this to start since they got the demo. on the demo it said to check out the site cause ultimate team 12 web app will open today. your telling me they couldnt of expected high traffic?

September 20, 2011 at 2:47 PMthis really is getting ridiculous now. It was supposed to be up at 5, it is now 7:46 and I’m still waiting…
mejo
September 20, 2011 at 3:06 PMThis is highly annoying. Given the popularity of FIFA and ultimate team they had to know that basically everyone who plays ultimate team regularly would be logging in today for this.
Rob
September 20, 2011 at 3:57 PMDave I was joking

Jamie
September 20, 2011 at 4:39 PMthis is ridiculous, i had so many issues with ea’s care free attitude in FUT11! this is so unfair to those who have been trying since 5 and others may have there players, this is a massive advantage to the ones who have got them, some claim to have got them. Some people may spend no money at all and have only just logged in for the freebies and have only purchased fifa 12, i however have had 10 11 and will have 12 and many of the past series i have purchased. i am loyal and spent torwards 500 quid in packs last yr or on fifa 11 UT, then i get no loyalty packs? come on EA this is unfair. Why promote something you cant go through with? i think this is all in order to milk us for more money trying to get these so called in form players etc when it finally releases. Jamie
Jamie
September 20, 2011 at 4:51 PMi wne ton last night at just past 12 to realise it was changed and that it had to be used at 5pm today, now been trying since around 5.30pm still no joy and the servers were clogged up but EA have decided to completely remove it from the server now. It is basically non existant, this is a terrible promotion, almost false advertising in order to promote the game financially. they are working like drug dealers, giving you a taste or tempting you then making you PAY! difference is at least a drug dealer will give you the first freebie. lol it is now 21.48pm still doesnt exist on the server, i just hope they do make up for this and these people who have been trying since 5 etc will get the packs they deserve, especially those loyal customers that spent a lot of money in FUT11. Not so much the people logging in for freebies and buying/selling with no cash involved all yr round posting fishing sites and stealing peoples players. They deserve to wait for nothing!
FIFA LOVVA
September 20, 2011 at 5:00 PMea are so dumb? now we have to wait until fifa is released to play UT. correct?
Rob
September 20, 2011 at 5:08 PMThis is bullshit!!! It’s sad to say that I didn’t expect anything less
Josh
September 20, 2011 at 6:36 PMthis is bull its 23.35 and being trying since 5 just giving up now…very disapointing EA
nugget
September 20, 2011 at 6:50 PMwell jamie if youve spent £500 on fut u need a life sorry but its true
Jamie
September 20, 2011 at 10:40 PMnugget this is a complete add up and rough estimate of overall pack costs in the entire yr. I enjopy the game and thats why i purchased packs, i wanted to support the developers for making a game i enjoy. Just because youve taken offence to my comments because you are one of the phishing guys no need to get personal. You obviously are for the stealing and the freebies i guess nugget. I need a life? why do you say that? is it because i spend half the time you do buying and selling and stealing players to make a few coins etc as you do? i think youre the sad one, why buy and sell for several months when you can support the developer and cut the time in half? you spend longer messing around than me so you are ultimately the one who needs a life, funny how youre name is nugget isnt it.

September 21, 2011 at 2:08 AMthis was bound to happen, ea should have seen this coming and made sure that the website would be able to handle the amount of people but instead they rushed it and opened and it crashed lol
leo
