"To ensure the best possible experience, we have decided to delay the launch," reads an EA Sports statement.

"Knowing that our players have been so excited for these new modes made it a tough decision.

"However, as we progressed through final testing we encountered unforeseen issues that would affect all users who downloaded the update, so it's important to address them first before release.
