It’s time to upgrade to this year’s sport titles boys and girls, since EA is shutting down a whole bunch of online servers. You can still play these games locally with your friends, but if you want to play online you’ll have to upgrade to the 2007 version.

It’s quite understandable that you feel screwed, but EA argues that not many people are playing these games anymore. To cover their asses, the EULA clearly states that they can do pretty much whatever they want with their online services. Enjoy your 2006 games while you can, the online servers for the following games will be shut down September 1.
