PS2 Madden On-line Problems

Kevikazi · 08-29-2005, 10:22 PM

Anyone having disconnect problems when playing on-line? Me and 3 other people I know (we all use Comcast ISP) are constantly being disconnected during on-line play. Comcast states they don't see any problems on their end. I'm curious to see if this is an isolated incident, a problem on EA server side or what.

I haven't tried to play online yet...

On a side note, do you have to use the passing cones online? Just curious.

Kevikazi · 09-01-2005, 05:16 PM

Yes, you have to use vision cone when playing on-line. Well....you do with ranked matches at least. I'm not sure if there's an option to turn it off for non-ranked matches. Still getting disconnected, but seems it's less frequent.

I'm on XBox Live using Comcast high-speed internet in Richmond, and I usually don't have any problems with disconnects on my end. It's usually the folks I'm playing against that disconnect, either intentionally or because of a poor connection. Sometimes, the action gets a little choppy, but that's usually when my wife is using the computer online... and then I politely ask her to please stop using the computer while I'm playing Madden online.

I get disconnected on ps2. I have comcast.

Took me a while to spot this thread, but I have Comcast also and have had at least 15-20 losses caused by drops (though some of those games I would have lost, half of those happened with me in the lead). I had Cox for years and never had this many problems. I do notice when I am online on the computer, I will get the "network cable unplugged" message from MS a couple times a week, but it only lasts a couple seconds and I'm surfing again like normal. That's enough though to screw up my online game if this problem happens.

they might be resetting your bios to make sure uncappers are caught/re-capped... also, if you don't have a firewall it might be various viruses and scripts looking for exploits and such...

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?

skin4Life28 · 10-14-2005, 08:32 PM

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
