my rant

[Joe_The_Plumber]

if you dont want to read my rant, bottom line is: EA servers SUCK


i buy madden 09 for the achievements and to play online with my friends. problem is every single time i join a game i either a) lose connection to EA servers b) my opponent loses connection and then i lose connection or c) i lose connection to my opponent.

all of this effects your record and your DNF (did not finish) which ultimately decides whether or not other people will play with you because if you have a high DNF that means you quit early. if you quit the game, you get a lose and your DNF goes up, and since EA keeps disconnecting me this is what happens

My record is 16-30 and my DNF percentage is 41%. I didnt quit a SINGLE game and all of the games that EA disconnected me from i was winning and going to win. It always disconnects me or my opponent in the late 2nd or 4th quarter.

anyways i tried really hard not to use any curse words because for about the 10th time in a row its happened (about 10 minutes ago). i was playing a guy, and late in the 2nd quarter i broke a 70 yard run TD and RIGHT after i run into the end zone EA disconnects me.. i was winning 21-7 too.

googled it and it seems lots of people are getting it too. i really dont care if anyone read or posts under this... i just had to get it off my chest cuz it has been bothering me for about a month now

i love you for saying that, but i like them for making spore, but i think valve should steal that idea and make hl3 a coop game or multiplayer >.>

I like EA... Battlefield series own.

You couldn't pay me enough to get any Madden XX game. I hate sports games cuz all you do is wait for the next years stats and maybe a little game play update. Last time any of them got a good graphical update was Madden 08 and how many years did it take for that???

 

[mrcool]

Yeah, the EA Sports series has totally tanked, especially the PC line. Not cool at all

Let's all build custom Pogo Sticks, and hop on copies of madden:

True... But other than that...

 

[GTghost]

EA is only good for PC Battlefield, the BF for console kinda sucked

 

[Flea90]

yeah the ea servers r pretty bad. i remember playing nhl 08 for ps3 and sometimes i would disconnect or my opponent would lose connection. for some reason it took awhile to find games as well. i would be sitting there waiting for like 5-10 mins searching for an opponent to face.

nononono you like DICE not EA DICE MADE the game

 

[TEHROFLKNIFE]

Well thats strange, i play madden 09 a LOT and i dont get anything. No lag, no Dc's, no nothing. You may want to look into your connection, i have fiber optic from verizon and it works well with me.
