PS2 Madden On-line Problems

here in Indy - PS2 - SBC Yahoo

everything was fine until this past weekend 10/8 - 25 losses in 4 days because of disconnects whether I was winning or losing (though it seemed a little suspicious when I was winning)

when it said "connection lost" I would play the computer - still a loss, even if I won - when I chose to quit and receive nothing - still a loss - unbelievable
anything we can do about this? At one point I was literally 1-35 (yes that means I was 1-10)

finally I created a new account - clean record - winning 17-3 - 3rd quarter, and there went the screen freezing and a loss

through this whole thing I don't think some kids were "cheating" because there was no rhyme or reason to it and it wasn't just when I was winning - but it's incredibly frustrating - I hardly ever made it past halftime

How does PS2 work for creating gametags since their online play is free? Can you just keep recreating screen names?

you have a master account. which is your name and pw. then you create your gamertag or id whatever. your allowed 4 names per master account. but you can keep re-creating master accounts if you want to.

Hey guys, I have PS2 and XBOX, and I haven't tried online play yet for either of them. I have Cox High speed internet connection. Hopefully that's enough to run it. When I bought the XBOX, it came with a free, three-month trial that has already expired. It says there's a $49.95 fee after the 3 months.

But nowhere does it say whether that's $49.95 per month or for a year.

What's the fee, and is PS2 about the same?

Thanks
