In the game if you read the EA news section it says the 20 min delay is just temporary.

I had the exact same complaints. It turns out that this is intentional. According to another poster, EA posted a message on the news link stating that they had to do this to help the servers. The message stated that over time that the delay will be reduced or removed.

Re: Why do we have to wait 20 minutes...

Unfortunately, for right now, it just makes it not worth it. So I am sticking to offline dynasty. Not to mention, even when there is no delay, it is incredibly laggy (I do have a high speed cable connection). I was looking forward to using the dynasty wire but I guess it can wait.

Re: Why do we have to wait 20 minutes...

This seems pretty inexcusable to me. If the servers are slow or overloaded, it means one of two things: either EA underestimated the amount of server capacity it needed for this game, or it lacks the necessary resources to provide adequate server capacity. The idea that a multi-billion dollar gaming company would have either problem on a popular game that they publish every year is laughable, especially where last year's game also had online dynasty so they could have used that as an example.

This is a real problem, particularly in the offseason (where the waiting will take you longer than the actual playing tasks); this needs to be fixed quickly.

It is unplayable for me. I stopped my dynasty and started a new one offline. I'll miss dynasty wire but I can do a blog I guess.

What a freaking disaster. Did no one at EA do the math? It shouldn't 3 hours just to advance through the off-season, let alone the time it takes to recruit. Waiting 40 minutes just to see players leaving and transfer requests is a HUGE beating.

Take all that DLC money and buy some more servers EA.

I also switced over to an OFFLINE dynasty, which can't be converted this year, so I guess it's one full wasted season for me. I guess I'll use it as a 'pratice season'.
