EA PSP Titles Mis-labeled and Do NOT Support Online Play

Electronic Arts isn't exactly winning the hearts and minds of gamers these days with the NFL exclusive deal and poor quality of latest releases. Now the company admits on its customer service site, against what is said on the PSP game boxes, EA PSP games do NOT support online gameplay. The games that are at fault are Need For Speed Underground Rivals, NBA Street Showdown, FIFA Soccer, NFL Street 2 Unleashed, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour.

Unfortunately, there are no PSP titles at this time that support any online play that are made by Electronic Arts. There has been a misprint on all of the boxes for our launch titles and this mode is not supported. Although Infrastructure mode is not supported, the Ad Hoc multiplayer mode will work on all of our launch titles provided that each player has their own copy of the game. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.
