Anyone else out there have this game? If so would you be up for some online matches?

I've got it and it's pretty fun, the problem I have is getting it to work for online games. As is typical for EA, they want me to forward several thousand non-consecutive ports through my gateway - and I'm too lazy to figure them all out.

What the on earth are you talking about? I had a problem with it due to my Internet security and the fact that EA has shit for a registry system but I eventually got it to work. Now it just crashes if I try to go online too fast... for some reason I have to let the game sit, while on, for about 30 seconds before I can go online with it.

Works great now, and playing online is so much more fun.

Not using a regular firewall/router/etc - I run a stripped down OpenBSD build to route my connection, run servers, etc. I've never been able to get any EA game to play online. Maybe it's changed recently, but I've gotten so frustrated I quit trying.
