350,000 Played Madden NFL 10 Online Once, Then Never Went Online Again

Not surprising since for some reason in Madden to get a roster update, you have to enter into an Online game.

I really don't understand that at all. On a related note, I also don't get why you need to have an XBL Gold Membership to access the EA Locker? It should be made available to everyone, regardless of level of membership.

Its soooooo simple

"LAG"

I live in Australia, the game online simply doesnt work even if its agaisnt my friend down the road.

I go online once a year after the game comes out, yep still broken and i play offline 100%

Simple- Update roster/ play offline franchise.

I don't know if they realize that there biggest fan base if us Franchise guys. Although the truth is if me and 3 friends could ever co-op (ON THE SAME TEAM) in a franchise. We'd be online all the time. It actually would save us all the trip that we make each week in order for us to play our 4 (ON THE SAME TEAM) franchise.

Wishful thinking, some day it will happen

This. Plus lag.

I was one of them, main reason was lag. Can't understand how a game can be that laggy these days, it's as if they're using the same networking code from the first madden that had online (whichever one it was) and decided not to improve on it :/

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG

Up 21-3 with 2 minutes to go in the First half and the opponent DISCONNECTS.

Now i've wasted 30 minutes of my life.

They don't have their own servers, it's all point to point connections when you play a game, with one of your consoles acting as the server. If there's lag, then it means their not doing a good job matching players before launching the game launches.
