Act Fast! - EA to shutdown more multiplayer gaming servers

You recall how EA demanded to run its own gaming servers (particularly on the Xbox platform, where there was a viable alternative)? Well, now they are preparing to shut down online support for nearly 50 games this September and November. So if you want to play online, settle a grudge or get any Xbox 360 online achievements, you'd better do it soon.

These games lose their online capabilities on September 1, 2007:

• Arena Football (PS2, Xbox)
• FIFA Soccer 06 (PC, PS2, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360)
• FIFA World Cup 2006 (PC, PS2, PSP, Xbox)
• Fight Night Round 3 (PSP, Xbox)
• Madden NFL 06 (PC, PS2, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360)
• Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects (PS2, Xbox)
• MVP 07 NCAA Baseball (PS2, Xbox)
• NASCAR 06 Total Team Control (PS2, Xbox)
• NBA Live 06 (PC, PS2, PSP, Xbox 360)
• NCAA Football 2005 (Xbox)
• NCAA Football 2006 (PS2, Xbox)
• NCAA March Madness 06 (PS2, Xbox)
• NFL Head Coach (PC, PS2, Xbox)
• NHL 06 (PC, PS2, Xbox)
• Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 (Xbox, Xbox 360)

On November 1, 2007, these titles become offline only:

• Burnout Revenge (PS2, Xbox)
• Need for Speed Underground (PS2)
• Need for Speed Underground 2 (PC, PS2) - Xbox version was cut last year
• Need for Speed Most Wanted (PSP, Xbox)

These join the 29 games that lost online support last year...
