what is up with these servers guys? always problems! you get on... play a game or 2... and get knocked off. then you cant sign back on. what is wrong with the forums, and does anyone know if they are going to be fixed so they run correctly?

This question is especially about the xbox servers. I dont know how the ps2 servers are doing.

I'm sure that its business as usual for EA as far as the servers go. I have been involved with a couple of different EA online games and at the game launch the servers were EXTREMELY underpowered/equiped. One of the games we even did beta stress tests so it wouldn't happen and it still happened.

They seem to do just enough for it to work and then adapt to it as they HAVE to. Rather than just beef it up to begin with.

I'm sure alot of it is due to the massive amount of people signing on right now and setting things up.

I haven't been able to log on to the EA servers period! I can play any other Xbox Live game on MS server, but no luck with EA at all. I've had the game since 8am. If this continues I'll just take the game back and wait for my ESPN order next week.

Well I'm glad I saw this post cause I was about to call EA cause I can't get on. Don't know if it's my connection setup or not. But it looks like none of you can get on either.

No sh&t.

Don't they test their stuff.

Most people would be fired if they were responsible for this type of non-working stuffjavascript:void(0)

It's not your connection, it's not XBOX Live its EA's Servers...

EA better get on the ball, even when I was online I couldn't access my friends list because I was on EA's servers and when I tried to add a "friend" to the EA Messenger it just locked up...This game is "Online Enabled" but it isn't an "XBOX Live" game by a LONGGGG shot...It just seems so damn disorganized...

Kinda brings to light one of Microsofts reasons for not wanting to let EA have their own servers...
