They went as far as to make streaming PS3 games over the Internet a thing when they would have had a much easier time just letting you download it for a set amount of time but the PS4 just can't play PS3 software.

The PS3 was notoriously complicated for developers. It was absolutely more powerful than the 360 but harder to develop for and much harder to port from than to port too (this is why almost every single multi-platform game looks better on 360 including games, like Red Dead Redemption, that started as a PS3 exclusive). Because of this in order for the PS4 to play PS3 games it would need to have a PS3 housed inside it.

They're only just not getting some PS3 games to emulate properly on high end PCs. It was powerful but necessitated that games be developed on it, and only for it, in order to take advantage of that power. Sony wanted to force developers to focus only on their console by going with this set-up, but the market demanded multi-platform releases and developers wisely chose the easier route (develop for 360 port to PS3) in order to meet that demand.

I don't think EA has the ability to okay streaming on PS Now.

Unless you have really solid internet, I recommend getting a disk. Prices have gone into the reasonable zone, I think I got mine for right around what you mentioned.

I have Cox which is fine for the most part but will drop occasionally. Nothing worse than having the internet get disconnected then you have 10 minutes to finish up.

And personally, when I try to sign back in even if the internet is back on, it doesn't just to spite me. Therefore I bought a disk. I'll be playing this game for a long time, so totally worth it.

It sounds like you're saying that if you have a downloaded version of the game that you need to be connected to the Internet to play it. If so, then this isn't true. I have a digital version I got from XBL and don't need to be online to play it.

Well, I do. Go figure. 100% positive. I have an older Xbox with a large hard drive.

That's bizarre. It sounds like we have the same system. I have a white 1st gen 360 with an 80 or 120 GB HDD. I simply downloaded it from the XBL marketplace, and installed in onto my HDD. Now I can play anytime I want, even when I'm not online. If I'm not online I obviously can't do OD or play online games, but my offline dynasties and everything else is fair game. If I'm offline the game will try to connect to the EA servers when it starts but when it can't I'm given the option to play offline with the knowledge that I can't play ODs.

It sounds like on your system, if you're offline it won't even let you boot up the game (can't even make it to the EA splash screen), is this correct? If so, I can't think of any reason why it'd behave like this. I probably have 10+ games that I downloaded from the marketplace and I don't have to be online to play any of them. Do you need to be online for all downloaded games?
