It would stupid of them to maintain a server for a game with hardly anyone on it while a new game suffers online congestion; better to retire the old game and put the server to good use on a new title.

Just sayin'...

Or just consolidate them all onto on server. I actually still have Madden 10 because it was the first in the series I really liked and was holding onto it in case 10 sucked.
