FIFA 22 80+ player picks disappearing or game disconnecting from server issue acknowledged

Developed by EA Tiburon and published by EA Sports, the latest installment in the FIFA franchise also happens to be the most controversial one.

Ever since it was released in October last year, FIFA 22 players have reported several bugs and issues.

A few days ago, players reported that the Season Progress tab was not working while others complained that they were unable to claim rewards using the Companion and Web app.

That being said, FIFA 22 players are now reporting that their 80+ player picks are disappearing. Many say that this is followed by a server disconnection.

The issue is preventing them from picking their preferred players. Some are wondering if the picks will come back. Below are some reports shared by FIFA 22 players who are unable to play the game.

When I opened one player pick it kicked me out. I went back in and opened another and it showed 6 players instead of 3. From the 6 players I could not pick the player I wanted. By this bug I can ‘t access the rest of the game. I can’t play division rivals or Fut Champions. What should be happening instead? I should be able to pick one of the players.The bug happened in the store.

Just a few of the ridiculous happenings in one of the stupidest days in FIFA’s history:
2 of the 80+ Player Picks I have opened today, in which I selected Modric and Schmeichel, have completely disappeared from the aether, and cannot be claimed. Sometimes, when loading UT, they pop up as needing to be claimed, then kick me out of UT as soon as I choose the player and are gone when I load back in. I finished my Champions Qualification and received my packs, but they went missing after opening one. I had to back out and reload UT for them to appear EVERY. TIME.
