EA Sports Server Troubleshooting, Problems & Support-PS2 online college football 08 cant log on I keep trying to log onto ea servers and i cant play madden online...i dont know what the problem is but this is bull. WE are all looking for a solution and if there is a problem let us know so we can be patient.....not being able to log onto the servers really really is getting old

Most likely the server, as the servers for most sports games are only monitored until the next game in that line comes out.

Perhaps you are no longer allowed on EA's server due to possible conduct.
Remember this, XBOX & EA have very different server networks.EA's server ( needed to play online) are monitored very closely due to conduct.This means if u r reported or r monitored, they can & will kick you off, sometimes for a short time, but based upon offense, a VERY long time if not 4ever my friend.

I would suggest just based on a few lines of comment I have read, you might want to contact EA which are based in California.
Ask them about a possible sever reset on you account name.

If you be calm about it you might just get lucky for the reset, this is only
way of which I have heard to reconnect to there.

One of my customers had the EXACT same problem. We initally thought it was the EA servers, but it turns out all he needed to do was "power cycle" all his electronics. So, try unplugging your router first. Wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Going thusly to your modem, console, and so on... Give it a shot, bro. It beats shaking your fist at your PS3!

get a new one

I have not personally seen this problem, but that would be the first place I would check.

my ps2 slim cannot read the disk

did anyone have this problem with 07?

If you have madden 07 or earlier it probably is. If you have madden 08 or any other current football games it might be down temporarily for maintenance.

I experienced the same problem. I have the ps2 slim. The problem was so bad that i had the slim for about 3 years and still could not play any ea games online. About 2 months ago i finally got it to work though, allowing me to play madden ncaa and many other sports games from ea. I also have dsl broadband just like you. I do not have a router though. I just hooked my ethernet cord straight into the back on the ps2, my computer is really close by. I would reccomend a router though.

Enough of this bs though. Now solving the problem. There was actually a firewall keeping me from connecting to ea servers. Which in turn meant no ea account and no ea play online. Go onto your computer and turn your FIREWALLS OFF. This still may not work though. I done this and an unknown firewall was still blocking it. THERE WAS A FIREWALL IN MY MODEM.
CALL UP YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PEOPLE AND TELL THEM TO TAKE THE ******* THING OFF SO U CAN ******* PLAY. I ALSO FOUND THAT LIMEWIRE WOULD NOW WORK ON MY COMPUTER AS WELL.
By doing this you will open peer to peer connections with other programs and players online.

I had the same problem where I'm logged into XBox Live and I couldn't get into the EA servers to play any EA games. This is what worked for me:

1. Hit the XBox button and Log out of XBox live.
2. Go to the Settings tab and select System Settings.
3. Choose Console Settings then Clock.
4. Choose Daylight Savings and set this to OFF and back out.
5. Log back into XBox Live and the time will be set automatically.
6. Start you EA Game and Have Fun!!!
