New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on April 20, 2022) follows:

FIFA 22, the latest installment in Electronic Arts football simulation franchise, offers multiple game modes, both single-player and online.

Millions of gamers worldwide play FIFA 22 matches online every day. However, there are still many others who continue to enjoy the classic single-player modes.

In FIFA 22, players can enjoy Single Player Draft matches. Draft matches offer rewards based on the wins you get.

However, currently many FIFA 22 players are facing an issue where they are unable to play or are getting kicked out of Single Player Draft matches (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11).

According to multiple reports, currently the ‘Single Player Draft’ mode is not accessible to many players. Apparently, they just get a message indicating a server error when trying to do so.

More recently, the error message players receive is ‘There was a problem communicating with the FIFA Ultimate Team servers. Please try again later’.

For a couple of days now, whenever i try to play a single player draft game it always says the same thing, “There was a problem communicating with the FIFA Ultimate Team servers. Please try again later.” I checked my internet connection and nothing was wrong, i even tried using a LAN cable but it still didnt matter.

Also, players are unable to forfeit the match, which causes them to get stuck.

I have played many single player drafts. Last week I drafted a new team and played game 1 and everything went fine. After game 1, I clicked to PLAY MATCH on the squad for game 2 and the system won’t connect to the ea servers.

I tried using a different Xbox and that didn’t help. I can play squad battles and get into any other mode. I can’t forfeit the game, so I’m suck in this glitched state.

Although the Single Player Draft matches are a ‘solo-mode’, it needs an internet connection. This is because EA servers will determine what rewards players get.

The EA team is already aware of the issue in question and is working on a fix. But, there are no details on an ETA for it yet.

The FIFA game team is aware and working on a fix. We appreciate your patience.
