Masters Tiger Woods PGA 2012

So, I actually just got this as a gift (yes I know it's a year behind, lol) and played it for five days with no issues. This morning my PS3 blinked off while playing. Upon re-starting the game freezes at the load screen (while connecting to EA servers). I was afraid it was my PS3 but every other game plays fine. I went and got a new copy of the game and tried it, no luck. I deleted the game data and save data and tried re-installing the game, still no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

Semi-troll answer: EA shuts down servers all the time

Thanks Annubis, but surely it can be played w/o having to connect to their servers? If not then I know the issue and that sucks, I don't care about playing online I simply wanna play some golf, lol

And evidently that is the case. WTF.

I ran into a similar issue with Mercenaries 2 for Xbox 360.  Just load up the game when you're not signed in to PSN.

Besides the douche bag thing EA has done in this I assumed (yes I know what happens when we do that) that I had faulty data so I deleted my saved data, which of course destroyed the career I had started, oh well.
