[Update] Xbox Live No Longer Limited For Electronic Arts Titles
Update: The issues appear to be resolved. The alerts previously posted on Xbox Live's status page are no longer present.
Original story:
It's unclear exactly what is holding up the service, but online play for Electronic Arts' games are currently limited on Xbox Live.
On Xbox Live's status page, the social and social and gaming are listed as currently limited. The details read, "We’re aware that some of you are having issues matchmaking on Electronic Arts titles. Don’t worry! We’re working with our partner to get this fixed as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience! We’ll keep you posted as soon as we have more information."

Our Take
It's weird and unfortunate that only Electronic Arts' titles are affected. The issue must be coming from its servers as opposed to Microsoft's. Hopefully it will get sorted out soon so everyone can get back to their Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfaring.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
