FIFA 18 PC download problems tarnish launch day - EA investigating

FIFA 18 has gone live today, but some PC owners are reporting that they are unable to download the game and start playing.

EA has acknowledged the problem and is on the case, asking players to be patient.

Origin is currently telling PC owners that "Origin was unable to download your game. Please check your internet connection, or try again later."
