EA Shutting down Servers already

EA has announced they will be removing many servers for their sports title coming just 1 month away on February 2nd, 2010 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and the PC.
Among one of the titles is Madden 09 which I believe it may be too soon. The closing of ‘09 servers makes it seem as if EA is just eagerly ridding of their $60 games and have it last only a year for online play. I do believe some of the games they’re looking to drop are justified considering sports titles usually do not last more than 2 to 3 years but ‘09?
Yes, you can still play in single player mode but there is just only that much comp stomping you can take before moving onto another title. So, I wonder why there’s no private server support? Here’s what EA has to say about the whole server shut down:

All of us at EA would like to thank you for your valued participation in our online gaming community and hope that your enthusiasm for these games extends to our current lineup and beyond.

Quite a disappointment to me, especially towards all the fans and communities that have been developed. The list of servers that will be removed are listed below. What do you guys think?
