Hey everyone, 1st post here and it seems like a good forum.

Have a bit of a bug/error going on. Whenever I finish a game and go into messenger to contact the opponent it says that everyone is offline and I can't message or friend request anyone. The same thing has started happening in Tiger Woods 10 as well. Anyone had this problem before?

Cheers, D

I get the same thing. Everyone is offline and I cant send a message.

Yeah, my messenger never works. I always get that error.

I got a reply from EA on this but it didn't help.

They said...

"This game uses the following network ports for playing online. If you are running a firewall, ensure it is set to allow the game to communicate on these ports both inbound and outbound:

TCP Ports: 80, 443, 13220
UDP Port: 3658

If you are having difficulty connecting to other players online and your Internet connection is behind a router using NAT (Network Address Translation), you may need to enable port forwarding on your router by forwarding all data on port UDP 3658 to the IP address of your Wii console. Alternatively, you can put your router into a DMZ-please consult your router help files for details on how to do this."

I did all this but no joy. They then referred me to Nintendo's support "http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/support_62.html" but I haven't tried them yet.

Im pretty sure it will say the opponent is offline even if they receive the message.
