As is the case every year, EA has decided to cut down on server expenses by eliminating online support for aging sports games in their back-catalog. This latest round of cuts is scheduled to go into effect on February 2, 2010. According to an MCVUK report, titles set for online castration include “Facebreaker, Fight Night Round 3, NASCAR 09 [Europe only], Burnout Revenge, FIFA 07, Tiger Woods 07, Marvel Nemesis, Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, Need for Speed: Underground 2,” and many more (a complete list of cuts can be found below). EA issued the following proclamation to affected individuals: “All of us at EA would like to thank you for your valued participation in our online gaming community. We hope that your enthusiasm for these games extends to our current lineup and beyond.” UEFA Champions League 07 PC and x360 Facebreaker x360 and PS3 Fantasy Football 09 x360 and PS3 FIFA 07 PSP, PS2, PC Fight Night Round 3 PS2 Madden 08 Wii Madden 08 PC Madden 09 Xbox1 Madden 09 Wii and PSP March Madness 07 x360 NBA 07 PSP, x360 NBA 08 PS2, PSP, Wii NBA 09 Wii – Europe only NBA Street (2007) PS3 and x360 NCAA Football 08 PS2 NCAA Football 09 PS2 NASCAR 08 PS2 NASCAR 09 PS2 NASCAR 09 PS3 and x360 – Europe Only NFL Tour PS3 and x360 NHL 07 PSP and x360 NHL 08 PC Tiger Woods 07 PC Madden 09 x360 and PS3 Madden 07 Xbox 360 |
