Gamers have today been scrambling onto EA Sports' website as the FIFA 16 Ultimate Team Web App opens up before original launch date.
We recently reported that the Web App would launch on September 17th, based on images that EA Sports put out on their EA Sports FIFA YouTube account. However, flocks of online gamers have taken to Twitter to reveal that the Web App has let them in!
My experience: So I thought I would give it a try, and to my surprise it let me in! Not only that, the server let me open my first Ultimate Team pack… in which I got a load of garbage bronze players. After that the servers took me off the page, claiming that a quick refresh of the page would work, instead it threw me out. But yes, the Web App does actually work!
Many other people have actually got somewhat further into the app, opening several promotional free packs. Here are a few people on Twitter that have been successful:

The official release date for the FIFA 16 Web App is supposed to be September 17th and we presume that the service should be running smoothly from then onwards.
UPDATE #1: 21:55pm (UK)
The Web App seems to be running smoothly now in the UK, just about to open my promotional packs. Also, despite EA Sports' claims that the Web App transfer centre needed to be activated via console, that is also working as usual. Buying and selling players is a feature as of now. Here is a quick screenshot:
