Superstar the league doesnt work, for some stupid reason has to be connected to

While playing superstar in the league, i was kicked out and told I was not connected to ea servers, which makes no sense to me, because my single player superstar career from college into pro shouldn't need to be online whatsoever. Another classic overdesign by ea in an attempt to ruin their own games. The kicker is that it will not let me back into superstar, whatsoever, saying the ea servers are unable to be connected, making madden a paperweight. I recently had an issue very similar to this while playing college football. I quit buying madden because EA can't build a decent game anymore without butchering it. With the return of college football I gave in, but unless you are playing online, you should NOT have to connect to their servers. So far, it seems I've wasted my money and should've been happy with my old 07 copies back from when EA wasn't the worst game company around.
