I Can't speak for the games you mention but the reasons in principle I can describe.

EA games are copy protected in a special way. Unless you copy those games with CloneCD (using a compatible reader/burner) AND you have an 8 wire internal modcip, you have to use CDRWin to copy the game to disk (which excludes the copy protection subchannel) and then patch it with fixes to work round the copy protection calls.

OK?
