Unable to connect to EA servers on Nintendo switch
Unable to connect to EA servers on Nintendo switch when using my underage child account. Using Nintendo Switch Parental Control I granted permission to this account to play this game.
Re: Nintendo Switch not connecting to EA servers
Similar issue. My son's with says "You have lost your connection to the network or to the EA servers. ..." I think it is an underage issue. The whole reason he bought FIFA is for FUT son this is not acceptable.
Re: Nintendo Switch not connecting to EA servers
I get exactly the same with an underage account but what is worse is that you can't even update squads when playing single player which means this issue is affecting all aspects of the game.
Re: Nintendo Switch not connecting to EA servers
have you had any luck resolving this? seems crazy to pay for a game and not be able to play it online, when that is the whole point.
Re: Nintendo Switch not connecting to EA servers
No resolution. Not only that but EA has no phone or chat help so they make you email them and I’ve now been sent the same two links with basic connectivity issues in three different emails despite explaining that all other switch connections work including Plants which is an EA game. This is clearly a FIFA issue. Extremely frustrating.
Re: Nintendo Switch not connecting to EA servers
Did this ever get resolved? I have the same issue and have done for days now. No matter what I try it doesn't work and I just get sent links to the same trouble shooting menu

How to Play With Friends in FIFA 22
In this year’s FIFA, it’s all about cooperative play and luckily, this doesn’t just mean exhibition and online games. Now, that reach goes way further than ever before. You still have couch co-op as well, so the multiplayer experience here is about as good as it gets. Here are the modes that have co-op with friends enabled.
Kick-off
The basic couch co-op of FIFA 22, you can play with a friend in this mode by moving your controller icon to whatever side you’d like. If you want to play on your friend’s team, move the controller to their side.

Crossing is Back
FIFA 21 didn't present many opportunities for crossing to play a major part in your buildup or scoring chances. That's changed with FIFA 22. This year, crossing feels like a viable attack option. By pressing Square (X on Xbox), you can send balls into the box and use your strikers to attack the net through the air.
Win Through the Air
In general, the aerial game feels much more deadly this year. If you have pacey strikers up top, use L1+Triange (LB+Y on Xbox) to send a through ball over the top of the defense. This lets your striker run onto the ball and get in behind the defense for a one-on-one opportunity with the keeper.
Master a Skill Move or Two
You don't need to become a skill move fiend to have success in FIFA 22. Of course, you can bother to learn all of the fancy tricks in the game, but as long as you master a few, you'll be in a good spot. We'd recommend getting comfortable with easy skill moves like the fake shot, ball roll, bridge, and drag back.
Use the Right Shot
With goalkeepers given a big buff in FIFA 22, you need to know where and how to shoot. Outside of the box Finesse Shots are great this year. To do this, get a player with a high Curve and then use R1 + Circle (RB + B) from outside of the box. If you can master timed finishing, these shots can be even more powerful.
Pick a Formation That Suits You
There isn't a magic formation that's going to do everything you want. Instead, you need to find something that suits your playstyle. Personally, we like either 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-2-1-2 (2). The former is a great defensive formation that lets you use CDMs to help cover your defense.
Defend with Your CDMs While Learning
Some players are going to hate us for saying this, but when you're just starting out, try not to defend with your centerbacks. The AI defense is usually pretty solid in the back, so you're better off attacking the player with the ball with a CDM. This gives you a bit of a safety net if you mess up.
Make Use of Two Man Press
By holding down R1 (RB) on defense, you can bring a second man over to attack the player with the ball. This puts more pressure on the offense as you start to overload them. You can also use this to pressure the ball with an AI defender while you close off a passing lane with the player you're directly controlling.
