I love how they're killing last years Madden already. Better upgrade now!

I thought 360 games were never left "unsupported" or something?

EA runs their own Live servers, so Microsoft doesn't have any say in the matter.

There are a handful of non-EA games that are already down though. Chromehounds is one and I think there are a couple others.

Not surprising, although killing Madden 09 after a year and a half is pretty quick.

Ah it's just sports games. Nothing to worry about for my friends and I who all share a similar opinion on sports games - more fun to do the real thing.

Yeah to me this thread should be a sticky so people who are expecting these games to be online will know they aren't.

I agree, pretty ridiculous. I'll be damned if I purchase any sports titles from EA anytime soon (I already didn't anyway so guess it don't matter), heh. Still just not right.
