EA shutting down game servers

That’s right. Before you freak out, none of their 2010 titles will be affected (for now). However, games as recent as Madden 2009 will be having their online multiplayer servers turned off. A customary move by EA, it’s somewhat surprising that they are cutting some of the titles off so quickly. Several Xbox 360 games will have their online multiplayer functionality stripped, including:

• UEFA Champions League 2007
• Facebreaker
• Fantasy Football 2009
• March Madness 2007
• NBA 2007
• NBA Street 2007
• NASCAR 2009 (Europe only)
• NFL Tour
• NHL 2007
• Madden 2007
• Madden 2009

All of the shutdowns will occur on February 2, 2010, so be sure to get your playing time in before then or pickup newer versions of the games.
