Make sure you have the service pack and latest compatibility update installed (go to Windows Update).
Some games don't run under Win2K, even with the latest compatibility update, though. Ironically most are D3D games - OpenGL games seem to run fine (so much for Microsoft's flashship gaming API). For me it's not an issue - I mostly play 1st person shooters and they all work fine under Win2K.
EA games in particular have problems running under Win2K. Frankly, that's lack of support from EA more than anything else. They apparently don't consider Win2K gamers a large enough community to worry about.
Check the game's website for updates or possible fixes. There might be a FAQ on their site that has workarounds for Win2K compatibility.
You might also go here to see if any fixes are posted: http://www.ntcompatible.com/
Failing that all you can do is setup your system for dual-boot Win98 and Win2K. Boot into Win98 for games that don't run on Win2K. It's a little tricky doing this if you installed Win2K first, but you can find instructions here: http://www.soton.ac.uk/~dg8/korean/dual ... _win9x.htm
Click on "Rectification of Dual Boot".
Hope this helps...
