EA FC 25 servers down and here's when you can get back online again
It's time for a new bout of downtime for EA FC 25, and though players were completely blindsided by its arrival, it's hoped that the outage period will lead to a stronger game.
EA FC 25 is no stranger to downtime, as we know, but it seems that it's getting a little less charitable with it this time around. As players brace for the incoming Futties promo after the major launch of Shapeshifters Team 4, players have plenty to get stuck into in the game, even as the middle of the year flies past and fans start to look to the future of the franchise, whenever that may arrive. We're entering a period which will likely see some players disengage before the new game appears, but that doesn't mean that EA isn't fighting for your attention, especially with all of the promos it has been throwing out recently.
There's more to come, though, as EA FC has dunked its most recent title under some downtime with very little notice, and has boxed players out of matchmaking for the length of it. It's not really a great look, as even though downtime is par for the course with games that run on a live service, they're usually a little better signposted than this downtime was.
So what's up with this EA FC 25 downtime? And when will it end? Here's what you need to know about the current EA FC 25 downtime.

EA FC 25 servers down and when maintenance ends
The EA FC 25 server downtime began at 1am PDT / 4am EDT / 9am BST on Wednesday, July 9, and is scheduled to end at 2.30am PDT / 5.30am EDT / 10.30am BST. This has been revealed by a new tweet from EA Sports FC Direct, which announced that the downtime is set to affect EA Sports FC 25 on all platforms.
The tweet came with less than an hour's notice, and as it deactivated match creation 30 minutes before the downtime began, it's likely that players were blindsided by this. It's not ideal, but at the very least, we can expect some proper maintenance to take place during this time, and hopefully get some bug fixes out of it too.

Latitude festivalgoers bemoan 'chaotic' traffic delays
Disgruntled music fans said they had to endure hours of "chaotic" traffic delays while driving to Latitude behind the arts and culture event put the extra congestion down to "weather conditions and localised flooding".Some festivalgoers told the BBC they had grown so fed-up with waiting in tailbacks near the Henham Park site they instead found hotels to stay social media, a spokesperson for the festival said: "We have worked as hard as we can to mitigate the traffic and to get everyone into the festival. Thank you for your patience." James Adamczuk described the traffic as "pretty bad". "It took us about two and a half hours to get in from the last six miles," he told the BBC."It was a bit chaotic and everything literally ground to a halt - but what can you do? You just have to be patient. "It was exacerbated by the rain and mud at the time but I think they could have put temporary traffic lights in and or stewards could have made it a little better." Scott Siwicki said he was queuing to get on to the A145 and into the event for more than four hours."That's for a couple of miles, not the full trip," he told the BBC."There was no traffic control or marshals and unfortunately the problem stemmed from vehicles getting stuck at the entry point." According to reports on social media, some festivalgoers faced delays of up to six hours from the likes of Woodbridge and Dereham. Another said she opted to turn her back on the traffic and booked into a Travelodge in Ipswich after hitting standstill traffic on the A12 about seven miles from the site."The only update we got was just after 22:00 BST when we arrived at the hotel, but it was too little too late," she said. "I get challenges happen but I'm appalled by the lack of communication - it is unacceptable." This year's event is being headlined by Sting, Fatboy Slim, and Snow Patrol and is expected to attract 40,000 people each Thursday's traffic issues, campervan and motorhome users are being urged to use Orange Gate 1 on the A145 to gain access, while day and weekend ticketholders should continue to use the Festival was contacted for further comment.

Hungry Lions prepare to storm MCG on day they have dreamed about
Australia v British and Irish Lions - second TestVenue: Melbourne Cricket Ground Date: Saturday, 26 July Kick-off: 11:00 BST Coverage: Live text commentary on the BBC Sport website and app with post-match analysis on iPlayer, BBC Radio 5 Live and Rugby Union Weekly podcast. At some point before kick-off at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, Maro Itoje might want to consider asking his second-row partner Ollie Chessum to say a few words to the Chessum can get the battle fever going when talking to journalists in a room in a school in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne on Thursday, then you can only imagine the power of his words in the dressing room minutes before the Lions run out into the MCG in front of an expected crowd of 90,000."This is everything international rugby is all about," said Chessum of the Lions' bid to win the series on Saturday."Physicality goes up through the roof, the intensity goes up through the roof, the speed of the game goes up through the roof and you have to walk towards it because if you don't, you'll get found out pretty quickly."So I'm not quite ready and raring to go, obviously we're a couple of days out, but I'm chomping at the bit to get into it."And he went on: "You have to [embrace the magnitude of the occasion] because this is everything you have ever dreamt of. You'd be kicking yourself years down the line if you didn't."This is where - and I can't speak for everyone, although I'm fairly sure I can - everyone wants to be on the biggest stage with the chance to win a Lions series at an arena like the MCG in front of our families. There's nothing better. I'm properly looking forward to it."That is it, right there. Chessum nailed it. These are the days of their lives, the biggest moment for most of those who have not already been around the Lions block. On Thursday, Andy Farrell over-reached a tad, but you knew where he was coming from. The coach said that his boys were bidding for history on Saturday as the only Lions team to win back-to-back series in the same country, 2013 and possibly 2025. He was wrong. It has been done before, but it is not common.A better way of presenting it is that they are bidding to become only the second Lions team to go 2-0 up in a series in 28 years, only the third to do it in 51 years and only the seventh ever since this glorious thing started in 'Everest' tour of 1997 was the most recent time the Lions won the first two Tests of a series. Maybe it was a coincidence but the captain then, Martin Johnson, presented the jerseys to the team on Thursday evening in of Farrell's starting line-up on Saturday were not born back then (Chessum, Tom Curry, Tommy Freeman and Dan Sheehan), two of them were a year old (Andrew Porter and Hugo Keenan), Itoje was two, Huw Jones was three, Finn Russell was four and a handful of them were five. Bundee Aki was the oldest; he was 1997 is an alien world to them. Since then, after two Tests it has been 1-1 against Australia, 2-0 to the All Blacks, 2-0 to the Springboks, 1-1 against the Wallabies, 1-1 against New Zealand and 1-1 against South the MCG, if the Lions live up to their billing of screeching hot favourites, we will be heading into terrain we have not been across in close to three is a giant caveat in all of this. If we are examining the scale of the achievement if the Lions were to pull it off then you have to measure the quality of the the Wallabies can stir themselves in an almighty way, they are in mortal danger of going down as the one of the worst crews the Lions have faced in the modern era - or pretty much any other era. Australia have 'massive point to prove' The case for the Wallabies, backs are very firmly against the wall. They have spent the week hearing how their forwards were bullied for 50 minutes in Brisbane. Presumably, they are a proud bunch with a massive point to prove. Unless they are utterly dead inside, there has to be an improvement in that end, they have brought back lock Will Skelton, an unfeasibly large human, and back row Rob Valetini, their best player over the past two years. Hooker Dave Porecki is also in. Their line-out ought to improve as a for every point you might make about how the Wallabies could push the Lions all the way, there is a counterpoint which says they will has played no rugby since 7 June, Valetini has not played since 14 June. Porecki has played 27 minutes since the end of Schmidt looks to have made a serious error by wrapping the rest of his Test players in cotton wool since the Lions landed. Precious few of them have faced the Lions. Precious few were battle-hardened in Brisbane. Many of them had not played, or had played once, in many weeks. They were so undercooked, they were red raw. Schmidt judged it poorly. Of Australia's past 12 games, eight have been lost. Three of the victories (Argentina, England and Fiji) have been by five points or fewer. Scotland beat them by 14, New Zealand by 20, South Africa by 18 and 26 and Argentina by is a 95% chance of rain on Saturday night in Melbourne. If the conditions are as predicted it could make it tighter, but if it goes down to a slugfest you would still bank on the Lions forwards winning is a good Lions team. The pity is that they are not playing South Africa or New Zealand just so we could get a proper gauge on how good they actually are. On the basis of the first 50 against the Wallabies, they are formidable. On the basis of the final 30, when they lost the run of themselves with such a big lead, less than the real Lions stand up for 70 or 80 minutes on Saturday? If they do, it could get ugly out there. Ringrose's 'selfless' withdrawal Of course there has been lots of stuff going on in the Garry Ringrose story is a sickener. How selfless and mature of the centre, who has been quite brilliant, to take himself out of the team on Thursday after feeling the effects of a brain injury.A similar brain injury probably cost him a place in the first Test. It is completely chilling that Ringrose, having passed all his HIA tests across 12 days, having come through a game on Tuesday and recovery on Wednesday, did not feel right again on moves in the most sinister of ways. It can beat any test. It can deceive any doctor. Only the player knows if he is OK or not and Ringrose called it in the knowledge that he may never again get a chance to play a Test for the Saturday must be a doubt. He is 30 - young enough to still be world class in four years' time but with a record of head injuries, you have to Huw Jones, having been dropped, was suddenly back in. Will it damage his confidence knowing that he came so close to losing his spot? Hardly. These guys do not necessarily think that way. He will just be fired up to the high heavens because of it, you such reprieve for Sione Tuipulotu, who was bizarrely and unfairly dropped when the team was named internally on Wednesday and who then suffered a tight hamstring on and Jones is not the partnership that Farrell would have wanted but it is still strong, albeit with only one game together on tour. If things get sticky, Farrell has some muscle on the bench. The replacements did not do a whole lot last weekend, but Ellis Genge, James Ryan (Scott Cummings might feel aggrieved) and Jac Morgan are all capable of upping the ante with their Kinghorn has the class and Owen Farrell has the leadership and the savvy. Whether you think he should be there or not is a moot point now. He is in the squad and he has to all do. This is not just about winning on Saturday, it is also about winning on Saturday week and making it 3-0. Emphatic as you like. is a big job to be done at the MCG before they start thinking about landslides and pantheons, the Lions are all that they can be, then they will win and should win well, regardless of whatever fire and brimstone might be thrown at them."These games are the reason why you want to play rugby," said Itoje. "You want to be a part of these huge occasions with a little bit of jeopardy on the line. The opportunity to do something special, the opportunity to do something that lives long in the memory."Given the magnitude of the game, there is a higher level of focus. As a professional athlete, there is always focus to what you do, but not all games are equal. Not all games mean the same thing. And this game, last week, these games are not equal to normal games of rugby."The MCG awaits. The grandest stage in the land and the biggest crowd in Lions added: "Maro said to us that what we produced last Saturday will not be good enough this Saturday. There's a whole different beast coming down the road and we'll have to front up and tackle it."If Chessum is anything to go by, the Lions are ready to finish what they started.
