I connected fine last night after midnight - I believe about 4,000 people were online at the time.

I'm sure thousands or tens of thousands of people getting home from work firing up Madden right NOW is causing a little congestion.

Hopefully they get it fixed soon.

I can't connect online, but it's not because of a faulty online pass code. I can't even connect to the freaking servers lol..what a release day *rolls eyes*

Same here and a friend of mine as well. Too many people online should be the only answer

Yeah this is BS. EA should be prepared for this.

Me too.

Not a real good first impression. Guess we'll just have to be patient. It's just funny that the very first thing I try and do in Madden ends up just frustrating.

Maybe, if I happen to wake up in the middle of the night I'll try it then.

So far Madden 12 gets an "F", but since I haven't really been able to do anything with it, that grade really doesn't count.

Re: Can't connect online PS3

Advisory: PSN scheduled for routine maintenance today from 3-6pm Pacific Time. Online play should not be affected for most users.

Posted this to another thread. Seems like a really, really dumb idea. They should have scheduled this for yesterday.

Re: Can't connect online PS3

I finally popped the game in at 8:00pm after a long day and this happened. Then I decided to play a 'play now' game and the graphics seem a bit off.... not a good start!

At least the commentators seem to be calling all the player names instead of the numbers.

I think it may have something to do with the PSN maintenance. At least I hope it does.
