EA is the source of many jokes from the gaming world It's easy to understand the reason. EA certainly appears to have more mishaps than achievements; for example many people remember the scandal concerning Battlefront 2 with FIFA 23 Coins and the overwhelmingly negative reviews the game was able to receive due to its microtransactions that pay-to-win. The EA annual sports games have been plagued by problems too; recently Madden NFL 21 has been greeted with an unprecedented amount of negative reviews, earning the lowest rating for users on record in Metacritic history.

The game was criticized by fans for having did not provide enough improvements from its predecessor in 2019 that it deserved a $60 price. The problem is that when EA launches a game that people want to play , there are problems. The company recently announced an trial with early access for the coming FIFA 23 through its online subscription service EA Play. People eagerly gave the game a go, and then took to Twitter quick to inform the world they were disappointed that EA Play had gone down which prevented them from playing the game's new features.

Everybody seems to be having the same issue. Some users are unable to find EA Play to open at any time, while some cannot get FIFA 23. Certain people are able to get FIFA 23 but can't find it within their library. A few players have purchased EA Play specifically so that they can play the game which has it to be a source of frustration.

To address the issue, EA is offering players the option of downloading the trial right from the console store. However, for many players, it's just too tiny, and it's too late. The servers of EA's online have experienced numerous problems in the past. There were numerous problems in February, for example. Given the number of online multiplayer games that the company has in its inventory, not just numerous games for sports, but also games such as the coming Star Wars Squadrons. The infrastructure for online gaming that's so bad for handling traffic is not enough for a large corporation such as EA and gamers are entitled to be upset by this issue.

EA has proven that it can creating quality games. The previously mentioned Star Wars Squadrons is getting praise from the public, for example. If it is dropping the ball in this manner every time it's clear why the company is an unpopular brand. It's a good thing EA is working hard to fix the problems which led to that EA Play outage, and players will be able to experience FIFA 23 in all its splendor in the near future.

"We are very aware of the responsibility we take when we market EA games and experiences on channels that are viewed by children. In spite of that we are aware that advertisements to promote FIFA Points has appeared in areas that it shouldn't. We've been working hard in conjunction with Smyths to ensure that this ad isn't included in the last catalogs from their 2020. We also have conducted the immediate examination of any future media advertising and we are working to ensure that each marketing initiative more accurately reflect our responsibility to the development of our young players."

Gamers who've been keeping up to date with the live-service games of EA have realized that the company isn't a player in the world of microtransactions. But their blood could still be boiling when they hear about advertisements for FIFA microtransactions that appeared in an toy catalog that aims to appeal to children. A far cry from a simple advert of buy FUT 23 Coins, the company put out a full page of a magazine targeted mostly at children and explained the steps to purchase FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) cards.
