Hi,

Since recently I am encountering some trouble in connecting to the EA Servers when I want to play FIFA 09 online. Of course this particulary happens when I make an appointment with fellow Clubmates as for example on this very moment.
While they are playing, I am 'locked' inside FIFA 09 offline modes. My connection to the internet is fine, so I can even keep track of their score through XBOXlive menus. As if I really want to do that.. The only reason my XBOX is still on is to try and connect to the servers so I can join in and do what I was intending: Play some beautiful soccer!

My question: Is there anything I can do except walking away from my XBOX in the hope it will be better half an hour later?

The exact msg I get:
You must be signed in to XBOX Live and the EA servers in order to access the online features of this title.

I do not play any other games than FIFA 09 (I bought my XBOX for it) so I don't know whether this is a specific 09 problem, or EA. And actually I don't care as long I can find some way to bypass it..

Anyone??? Plz.. I need my fix.
