I downloaded the latest iteration of Madden and started it up. I contacted EA support about the issue, and was advised to download another EA online game demo and use it to create the user account. I tried this probably a dozen times over the day, and never got any closer to getting into the game. I waited 15 minutes, reset the Xbox 360 and tried again with the same result. I went through the steps and hit the Connect button and the game just sat there endlessly spinning it’s “Connecting…” indicator. Tommy didn’t play any EA online games prior to BF1943, so I had to create an account for him. Since the game is an EA title, I had the misfortune to have to deal with EA.com’s online game authentication. The game downloaded fine without any warnings and I started the game up. points to buy the game, and used the points to purchase the game on the Xbox Live Marketplace. About a month ago, I decided I’d had enough of playing hotseat and decided to get the kid his own copy of the game for his Xbox 360 on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Just about every weekend, Tommy and I play EA’s online FPS Battlefield 1943 together, taking turns by passing the controller between us. As if it’s not expensive enough having bought two Xbox 360s, and a bunch of copies of various System Link-able games, now I’m having to shell out $50/year for the kid to play certain titles with his old man. Unlike Crackdown 1, Crackdown 2 didn’t work over System Link so I had to cave in and buy the kid his own $50/year Xbox Live Gold Account. We own two copies of the game and have played through it together a bunch of times, and we were both excited to get our grubby mitts on Crackdown 2. Halo co-op is a lot more fun when every player doesn’t have to share half his screen with the other guy. So many in fact, that I decided a while back to buy him his own Xbox 360 so we could play System Link games together. My nine year old son and I play video games together.
