Can't connect to EA Online on any game (PS3)
I have one of the CECH-4001c 500gb PS3's. I've tried to connect to EA Online while playing Madden 09 and received the message "Cannot connect to EA Servers". I wrote this off as the game being 5 year...

The Media Server Connection allows other devices to connect to your PLAYSTATION 3. Often, the Media Server Connection is known to cause issues when players try to connect to the Internet for online game play.
- Access your Xross Media Bar menu
- Navigate to Settings
- Select Network Settings
- Select Media Server Connection and choose the Disable option.
Turn off the Media Service connection can slower your PS3 internet connection (especially for downloading).
Please enable the following online ports on your connection:
TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 10000-10100, 17502, 42127
UDP: 3659, 14000-14016
For specific instructions on how to open your ports, please visit http://www.portforward.com/ or contact your router manufacturer.

I'm sure you bothered to read the question posted by AMUrungus, so I'm curious as to why you decided to ignore the part where he said, " I know the issue doesn't lie with my internet connection because I can play [other online multiplayer games, not by EA] with no issues at all." It seems that you are making a habit of blaming the EA server issues on absolutely everything except yourselves. Have you guys considered using other servers so that this issue does not keep happening? I, like many others, have also experienced extremely frustrating disconnections, more often than not, in the middle of long multiplayer matches that result in the forfeit of any rewards earned. I'd expect this kind of inattentive work from free online games; but at the price you demand for your products, I (also like many others) will likely never buy any multiplayer games offered by EA until I hear about a dramatic change in the attention given to your servers.
Cheers.
i too can not get onto EA servers, but i have a different problem, I CANT GET ON ANY servers and i come up with different errors.
