Unable to connect to the EA Servers. Please try again later
I have been getting this error for weeks after trying to login, I know its trying because if i type the password wrong it says its incorrect. If i connect with the right password i get this error. how can i fix this issue? I also see other people that don't have this issue, does multiplayer only work on the origin version?

Got the same Error and was angry about it.
Solution found :)

Go to your Game Folder and Open activation.exe
First line Serialnumber remember this.

Open Origin and Login to your Account (you need one)
Then activate a game in Origin and use the Serialnumber that you have from activation.exe

Now Origin Adds the Game to your Library, but it don't download the Game again.

Hit Play in Origin and it detects that you have already installed it via Steam, only question was that it founds my savegame and if it should be uploaded to the cloud (i said yes)

It starts the game then via steam, now you can go to extras or multiplayer and Login with your Origin Account and done it works.

Interesting, it doesn't let me activate it in origin however. It says that the key can be used to unlock it but when i select confirm it says its an invalid cd key. I tried to deauthorize the steam key and then try it in origin but still the same.

Having your same problem. Can I ask if you're playing through their subscription rather than owning the game itself? If that's the case, I'm beginning to think that's the reason we can't play.

I tried the above and it didn't worked, I couldn't link the game with Origin, so the solution was:

Contacted EA play support on live chat
Asked for proof of purchase of the items
They added it manually
I was able to log in fully.

Only bad thing is no gamers there ):

hi, for all those who have a connection problem to connect to the EA server, to play online, I found the solution, having contacted EA support, I could understand that it was because my steam account and EA was not linked, so I advise you to do like me, buy the game on Origin and create an EA account on it, so it will be directly connected to it, for my part I can finally play online without problem, just I can't find anyone to play, I see people playing it but impossible for me to find the right time slot because I live in France
