I believe all Ea Sports games have an exculsive contract or something similar with the PS2. I remember reading it somewhere.

Na xbox has that XSN thing for their online games and EA and Xbox haven't talked bussiness yet. It was in an article at IGN.

yeah, I don't think EA has an exclusive contract to go online with PS2, its just EA probably doesn't like having to run their games on Xbox Live.

I heard its because EA likes to be in control of their games when they are online. And Xbox is in control of all the games on Xbox live. Therefore they are having issues splitting the power.
