Fifa 23 players were reporting issues with the game's servers and login on Friday evening.

Gamers were left unable to navigate the website, login and even noted problems with the server connection.

According to Down Detector, issues started on Fifa and EA from 6.08pm with people complaining that the servers were down following the Team of The Year announcement.

Fifa users had earlier been predicting that the 'TOTY' news, due at 6pm, would bring down the servers with one person even making a public poll asking people how long it would take.
