I agree with Mark Dublin, I'm also in the IT field.
I've been playing fifa games for years and always had connection issues on playstation.
Connection issues can come from either(client or server) or both. I've played wired and wireless, currently just switched from PS3 fifa 08 wireless to Xbox 360 fifa 08 wired and I'll have to say, although I'm still getting disconnects and very few(quitters

), this is by far the best fifa online gaming experience yet as far as server dependability. Definitely will be buying fifa 09 for xbox 360.
