Can't play Madden '09 online with PS2

The ea madden 09 servers for the PS2 have been shut down.

I had that problem with Madden 09.
I read on the internet that the older PS2 slimlines freeze
after Madden 06-07.
I bought a used satin silver SCPH 77001, a 2007 model I think,
and no more frezzing. plus this thing plays
all DVDs. not just some of them.

I have tried the same thing and the only thing that i have found is that Play Station has took down the ps2 online network for the ps3

i may be due to traffic on net or your wireless modem.

If it says ea servers not available that means the servers are down for maintenance, this is not unusual for video game servers, happens once or twice a month....

Also keep in mind playstation servers and xbox server are totally different.

me to please help

1. Turn off your PS2 console.
2. Get your CAT5 Cable (link varies based on where your router or modem is).
3. Put one end of the cable into the port of the Network adapter (or slim PS2 and PSX) port labeled "Network".
4. Connect the other end in a free port in your router (or on the port on your broadband modem).
5. Turn on PS2.
6. Turn on modem (or router).
7. Put in online game.
8. Go to the online section in the game.
9. Create a network Configuration
10. Load it
11. Create an ID.

If you have madden 07 or earlier it probably is. If you have madden 08 or any other current football games it might be down temporarily for maintenance.

Erase all madden data from your memory card including network configuration and download the latest rosters and try again. The error happens when the rosters (between the two people playing) dont match and you try to connect online. Download the rosters and dont mess with them! This worked for me and i was getting a buzzing sound every time i tried to connect to a game online, i even went out and rented a another copy of the game, so definately a memory card problem.
