Why Do We Put Up With This?
It has been a few years since EA and Microsoft kissed and made up, thus bringing EA games onto Microsoft's Xbox LIVE service. Microsoft agreed to open up the service and provide EA w/ customer data, yada... yada... yada......
Along the way, the service has been less than optimal.
We aren't quite sure if it is EA's servers or perhaps the cross communication between Xbox LIVE, but you can bank on a disconnected Madden NFL 09 online game after 9:00 p.m. EST. As those pesky west coast gamers head home from work/school, the load is just too much, and the online disconnections frustratingly mount...
I guess you can't focus on EA alone, as this is an all to common occurance with just about every major game release with online play.... but this is getting freakin' old...
