Has anyone else not been able to get on today? I can sign in, but apparently the max number of users that can use UT has been reached.

Been trying literally all day, refreshing etc.

Is this just a glitch or have people actually been able to get on?

said the same to me anal mate

The launch of FIFA 12 is by far the biggest in the long history of the series, and one of the consequences of that is unprecedented demand on our Ultimate Team servers.

This demand comes simultaneously from FUT gameplay on consoles and now PCs, as well as via the FIFA Ultimate Team web app.

As with all server-based services, excessive demand can lead to degradation in the quality of the service we provide. So, to make sure the quality of the FUT experience on consoles and PC is as smooth as it can possibly be, we are temporarily capping the number of people who can access the Web App at the same time during times of peak load.

By restricting the amount of calls to our FUT database at key times via the web, we are much better able to maintain your game experience on the console.

If you find that you can’t login on the Web App, please try to access FUT via your console or PC and try again a little later when demand is likely to have decreased.

We are working hard to improve access soon, and are gradually increasing this limit over time, but in the meantime thank you for your understanding.

UPDATE: Weekend 1-2 October. Access to the FUT Web App will be closely restricted over the whole weekend in order to protect the console experience at this time of extremely high demand.
