EA chops online for 06 games
Friday 3-Aug-2007 10:57 AM FIFA, Madden, Fight Night, and Burnout servers switched off from September

If you never see the point of buying every yearly update of EA's sports titles, EA's about to give you one: from September 1 it will begin shutting down the online servers for most of its 2006-edition sports titles.

As of that date, the online gameplay options on games like Fifa World Cup 2006, NBA Live 06, Madden 06 and Tiger Woods 06 will be rendered useless on all formats including PC.

This means you'll have to purchase the newer editions of the games to continue the fight via the web, or stick to split-screen games. The full list of games to be effected is below.
