Voodoo2 and EA Sports games???

matt3706
I've installed the voodoo 2 drivers but they dont seem to work with the EA sports games. When I go to the 3d setup in the game it does not detect it. Has anyone been able to figure out how to fix this? The drivers work fine with my other games, just the EA Sports games seem to have problems.
