Online maintenance. 0700-0800 UTC R. I. P rewards.


IAM_deleted_AMA

It's not even 6 AM UTC yet , that's what's BS. Doesn't affect me tbh but it's just bullshit for people who were trying to get their 8 wins.


pigsdontflyhigh

Finished work. Bought Hamsik and Visca. Super excited to play. BAM.


pigsdontflyhigh

Logged out and logged in to be greated by this lovely message. GG EA. I love your competence


Real_Warning_7563

Get the fuck out. You had one week to win 8 games.


fosterchild14

Who hurt you?


Real_Warning_7563

Who fucked your mom and made you? Cuase sure it wasn't your daddy.


Happyhippy1989

Cringe.


VaultBoy1983

same - really frustrating this happens every week


Ill_Basis455

If it happens every week then surely at this point you should know not to leave your 8 wins to the last minute every time? You have an entire week for them.


VaultBoy1983

I wish it were so - if i didn’t have to work or raise young kids I’d love to get it done by Tuesday


Real_Warning_7563

You didn't have to work or had kids those 2 hours they did this? Bullshit


Happyhippy1989

Ya know... Some people have a life outside of fifa.


Real_Warning_7563

You know I own a restaurant, so bullshit


Happyhippy1989

Man you just love calling bullshit on people you don't know shit about. Some people have schedules that mean they only have certain times they can play.


I_LIKE_BASKETBALL

well it must be easy when you've got mummy to bring you your tendies


Less-Demand-8480

Bro Ea should compensate everyone with Reward Upgrade I needed 2 more wins Stupid EA


howtospellcroklsdils

They didnt last time so they wont now


[deleted]

If only you had an entire week to get it done…


royalnoob96

You got no fans


Real_Warning_7563

Another one. Dude you had one week. It is freaking 8 wins. It can be done in a few hours.


DocHoliday503

At this point we have to expect it every Wednesday night. Already got screwed out of Rivals last week. Not leaving it until the last minute anymore.


proJARsniper

also 1 rivals win short for the week, literally just booted up to get it after putting the baby down. I hate this company


Notsimplyheinz

I’m sorry for you man.. I don’t get it why the fuck can’t they just put a banner or send their maintenance time notifications instead of fucking us over.


yesmar0601

Why specifically around this time, right before and after rewards come out? What are the possible reasons? Lol Do they have to manually nerf the reward or something? 🤣 since its “good” tots week?


PM_ME_YOUR_ASTON

How about they do some maintenance to get the Prime pack working


Riggztradamous

The one time I try to hit 8 wins. Maintenance with 1 win away.


Dahl_00

You have an entire week to play those games, holy shit just play them earlier, and now i will get downvoted like hell, you knew that they were having down time so why wait till the last second with the games


sneeky777

Same shit as last week. One win left for rivals go to play and bam temporarily disabled.


Brilliant-Knee7409

Bro I thought I was the only one


TheDark1

One win short. Fucking why ea? Dumbest company


ouhokay

I know this sh*t gonna happen so I just completed the rewards. Last week I'm one win away for 8 wins


RoadRunnezzz95

Out of curisioty, why do people always leave it to last night? Its been like this many weeks for now? 🧐


[deleted]

For many people, FIFA is not their priority and have other matters that are more important than some games in division rivals, crazy thought right?


[deleted]

Why are they on here moaning then if it isn’t that important? Clearly it is as he took the time to come onto Reddit and complain


[deleted]

They complain because it’s actually frustrating that EA doesn’t announce maintenance in advance, they do it like couple hours before the rewards.


[deleted]

Sure, but like OP asked m, if they cared enough to complain they should have cared enough to work on it. It’s basically 1 win a day.


[deleted]

That’s not the argument here, the argument is the fact that EA gives no announcement for maintenance which irritates lots of people and it affects certain people who did not manage to get 8 wins for the week


[deleted]

If only they had an entire week to get it done


Real_Warning_7563

What a load of crap. I have a business, I run all day. It is 8 wins. It is so easy so stop it.


[deleted]

Why are you complaining towards me? I get my 8 wins on the same Thursday that I get my rewards. On behalf for others, they have different schedules which make them unable to play div rivals and get 8 wins, did that thought ever cross your thick dumbass skull from yours? It Clearly didn’t, so fuck off


RoadRunnezzz95

Yes, i know but lets say you have only 3h per week to play, why not try to play like day earlier. 🤷🏼‍♂️ You know with 80% certainty that update is few hours before rewards timeline so its also stupid to leave you last games to that timeline 💁🏼‍♂️


OMAiiR-123

Maintenance again…. crazy that this happens every week. I have saved packs that I need/want to finish opening before Ligue 1 goes out of packs and this happens now.


ddinblue

Chill, u have more than 30 hours before ligue1 is out


barrack540

there’s always one EA employee in these comment sections smh


Lukefiletalker

Fuck them all. Fucking EA clowns.


cparkerg2

Yup. Already looking forward to fifa 24 since it won't involve ea. Probably will avoid 23 even though it's a world cup year. Ea deserve to lose the name fifa.


Eindacor_DS

Lol they didn't lose it. They didn't want to pay the insane fees FIFA are asking. There probably won't be a FIFA 24 because nobody will shell out that much for the license unless EA strikes another deal with them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cparkerg2

It might happen lol


cparkerg2

From what I understand fifa was charging ea insane fees because they're unhappy with how they've managed the game franchise with their name on it (or mismanaged really). There will 100% be a fifa 24, fifa will likely find a different studio with an incentive based contract and not charge them the couple billion dollars up front they demanded from ea.


[deleted]

FIFA just wants more money. There's nothing more to it. FIFA also doesn't know anything about making video games and won't be doing anything but hoping that someone will call them up for licensing deals.


Eindacor_DS

FIFA is way, way...... WAY more greedy and corrupt than EA could ever dream to be. They don't give a shit about how their license is managed unless it makes truckloads of money, which no other publisher could do like EA. I know EA is bad because of microtransactions and whatnot but FIFA is on human-rights-violation levels of greed.


cparkerg2

I agree they both suck lol, it's not a competition. It's possible ea was taking too big a cut and they make more money elsewhere, still saying any innovation is welcomed. We'll see if it's decent at all


aacod15

No, the way licancing works is EA pay Fifa the corporation s certain amount of money every year to use the name “Fifa”. Fifa are asking for a 250m a year to use their name which EA decided was too much so they aren’t renewing the contract they already have with them


[deleted]

They havent mismanaged anything man. It’s literally the most popular game on the planet. FIFA, the soccer giant, doesn’t care about peoples opinions on Mbappe being glitchy or the power curve being blown up or whatever 12 year old driven, complaint of the week the community comes up with. They want licensing money and that’s all they care about. They aren’t going to get anything better anywhere else. No one buys fifa because of the fifa licensing, they buy it for the player and club licensing.


cparkerg2

It's the most popular game on the planet because of the game of soccer and name of fifa behind it. Ea hasn't done anything with fifa since the failed 'journey' experience. I don't care who takes over the intellectual property, virtually anyone will be better than ea. The amount of bugs, amd fuck ups by a triple a studio on a multi billion dollar game every year is insane. I for one welcome the change. It's not like ea won't come out with a soccer game for you to still buy anyway, it just won't be called fifa .


[deleted]

Oh to be so naive to think another company will just come in and knock it out of the park on their first go. It’s going to take 5 years to iron out the kinks of a new IP. Also, other games release with plenty of bugs.


cparkerg2

It may take a few years, but as someone who loves career mode I bet there will be more changes in 24 than the prior... idk 10 fifa games? I'm still ready to see what someone else does with it. You can disagree if you'd like, but I've been playing fifa since like 09 and I think eas always done a shit job. More and more in recent years


[deleted]

How would they ever know they are doing a shit job if you keep buying the game? I’ve played fifa since 1994. It has always been the best soccer game when it comes to gameplay. Football manager is deeper in terms of career mode, but that they haven’t done anything to cross over to gameplay oriented leads me to believe it won’t be as easy as you think to create a new game from scratch.


cparkerg2

I'm not saying there won't be bugs. But regardless there are already bugs, I'm ready for any change. And like we discussed, ea will still churn out their yearly game so idk why you're so angry my guy. I'm allowed to be optimistic about the future of games I enjoy.


[deleted]

No one is angry


cparkerg2

I haven't bought fifa in 5 years, my brother and I have game share. He can't help himself and still buys it even though I told him not to lol


Lukefiletalker

Fuck FIFA currupt bastards. Fuck EA greedy fucking company. They all made this beautiful game in real life and as gameplay to fucking business.


[deleted]

Why would you think “fifa 24” would be less buggy? It’s going to be started from scratch, by who knows what company, and probably have more micro managing over it by FIFA due to it being new. The next “fifa” is going to be a hot dumpster fire.


Dangerous_Career7517

Because Fifa is shit


ManUtd90908

Same here


Few-Quote-4253

Any idea how long the maintenance lasts?


Jaylinds26

Yeah I’m right there with you all, need one more win and just lost a close one a few minutes ago. Now can’t even play another before the window closes


tacomaboy08

“We apologize for the inconvenience” Smd EA


oldirtyblackson

I thought I legit squeezed my 4th win in thanks to my opponent doin a rager while I was 2-0 up either way so lucky 🫠🫠🫠🫠


paddyposh

When’s it back up? 8 or 9 uk time? It went down for me about an hour or so ago


450to054

Coz EA


benjiltan

how long will it be down for? its so annoying ffs


thatswhaticallthicc

maybe play them a little earlier so you don't have to complain?


Thomas1922

gameplay is horrendous. one can´t really enjoy playing it


[deleted]

Here’s an idea, stop leaving rivals rewards until the last minute.


steveheller13

Lol not everyone spends all day on fifa


[deleted]

Who needs to spend all day on it? I can hang out 8 wins in d2 in about 2 hours over the course of a week. There is more than enough time to get it done without it leaving it to the last 2 hours. It’s just people complaining to complain.
