EA FC 25 Introduces "Warming Up" Queue System for Ultimate Team Mode

EA FC 25 introduces a new 'Warming Up' queue for Ultimate Team mode to manage server overloads during peak times. Learn how the system works, why delays happen, and player concerns ahead of the full release.

A new feature for Ultimate Team mode in EA FC 25 is the "Warming up" screen, which essentially puts players in line before they can start playing. This system probably reacts to server overload, which can happen during busy times, particularly since Ultimate Edition was released.

How It Works:

When players try to access Ultimate Team, the "Warming up" page shows, alerting them that there is a wait list because the servers are overloaded.

The length of the wait is unknown because players are not shown where they are in the line.
Although the goal of this queue system is to control traffic during peak hours, some gamers are concerned that wait times would rise once the game fully launches in September.

Problems Causing the Queue:

  • Transportation Issues with the market price range: Some cards were rendered inaccessible due to a delay in price updates. This was eventually resolved by EA, but it lingered for a few days.
  • Menu lag problems: A lot of people have been complaining about menu lag, which makes things more difficult for users to use. This is especially true when purchasing cards or organizing clubs.

Player Responses:

Concerns regarding possible bottlenecks when more players flood the servers after launch have been raised by several gamers, who have expressed frustration, particularly because waits have been observed even before the game's official release date.

It is possible to get out of the line, but in order to use Ultimate Team again, those who do so will have to re-enter it.
Only Ultimate Team is now impacted by this queuing system, and it will be applied to other modes, such as Clubs.
