I just fixed this issue for myself. It happened because EA servers got out of sync with my Sign in on Xbox One S. I signed out of Xbox, started up game and got the default intro. Then I signed in and it synced back up correctly.
Since EA requires a Gold account it does a check to see if you are signed in correctly. Any issues with that and it will boot u and give that error.
I got the issue because my xbox one 1st gen was being used upstairs.
So check to make sure u are signed in and perhaps sign out and in especially if you use your account in multiple places.
Hope this helps.

i did all the basic and advanced steps. I can't connect to server sometimes. Even if I did I still can't play with my friends, in other words, I'm always left behind in lobby. Please fix this bug it's been like this for 6 months.

The servers have been up for 4 days. Are you playing from a business/school and what connection troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

This currently happens to every EA game that I have. I keep retrying and around the 3rd or 4th time it works fine. But its a drag doing it every time I want to play.
error code 00020005
"You need to be signed into EA servers to access the online features of the game. Please check your internet connection."
My connection is fine, IDK why this is happening to every single EA game out there.
