[Update] EA to shut down multiple sports servers in February, April

[Update] EA to shut down multiple sports servers in February, April

A fairly lengthy list of sports titles will be getting the server chop next month in EA's regular rotation, so be prepared to move to the new season soon if you need your multiplayer fix.

The biggest name on the list is Madden 09. While most of the titles are from 2008 or 2007, that's one likely to at least annoy some players.

See below for the full bill.

Update: Further revisions and scheduling from EA now included.
