Can't connect to Battlefield 1943 online.

I just downloaded the Battlefield 1943 trial edition for Xbox 360 and every time I try to play online I get a message saying "Can't connect to EA online". Does this mean I have to create an EA account to play or is it just a problem with my internet connection? I haven't had any problems playing my other games over Xbox Live. Please help!

This may sound silly but this is what i did to fix the problem.

1. Download the Fight Night Round 4 demo

2. After the tutorial, at the menu screen one of the options will be to sign in to EA

3. Fill out all the info

4. Once you have made your EA account you should be able to connect to EA when you try out the game and eventually buy it

So being a Bad Company vet, I should have no problems signing in? I find that hard to believe, cause several other people here that are BC players are having this same issue.

Well I too play BF:BC but I did have problems signing in to EA when I tried the trial game so if it doesnt work just do what I suggested above.

Will try when I get home.

Almost everyone is having this problem and EA has advised that its a problem with the servers and that they are working on fixing it.

Problem happens for the demo and full game.

Thanks for the info!

ea has its own server and its screwin everyone over
