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?

I have Madden 2002 and I have not patched it, and it works great. Also I don't use a mod chip, just game shark 2 which is brand new and not version 1.9. I used DiscJuggler 3.0 to copy the game. For more information about how I used the Gameshark 2 check out my site at www.geocities.com/spider_2021 it will be under the informations topic.
