Hi guys,  
 
After I find an opponent it hangs when it checks the online roster and after about thirty seconds it says I lost connection to the EA servers. I have the latest roster and I can play fine when I do team play so I'm not quite sure whats wrong. Is it just because it is release week or is there something wrong on my end? I have cleared the cache on my 360 and deleted my saves from madden 11 and even deleted my profile and rosters in madden 12 and made them again. I have the 360 version by the way.  
 
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

Did you pay the extra $20 that EA requires to play the online game?

I purchased the game new so I did indeed receive an online pass. Also, I can play just fine in other online modes such as team play

anyone else having these problems?

Im having the same problem. But Im guessing its because my NAT is set at moderate. But I dont know how to solve this :/ . And LOL at the idiots trying hard to be clever on this thread.

My NAT is moderate as well but I can play fine on any other XBL game and team play in this game. Hopefully EA fixes the problem as I have done some research and it seems like a known issue.

Are you finding this experience maddening?
