Game was downloaded via XBox & played ok until I cancelled 1 account; to consolidate accounts & maintain one other on the same console.. Ok!! Now game loads ok & after entering acceptance diolog, email & password popup indicates game is searching for an EA server.... This is as far as I get to.. game can't be played... I have allowed the search to run for 5 - 10 minutes.. Please help
